The Spanish language site Omelete caught up with Superman Returns star Brandon Routh and asked him about the current status of the Superman franchise. Routh confirmed that his contract for Superman had expired and he wasn’t aware when (if at all) the new film was going to see production, “I’m sure that Warner Bros. is moving there, but everything is still uncertain. Really, I do not know anything.” However, he did say “But if they call me again, [I'd go] back to the character without thinking twice!”

I’m glad to hear this. Brandon Routh is a great actor and I know he will have a long career but I don’t think he was right for the part of Superman. I wasn’t a fan of Superman Returns, in fact I almost fell asleep during it. I’m not saying that Routh is solely to blame for that but he was a contributing factor. Not to mention that Warner Bros. is intending to do a sequel that is in the vein of The Dark Knight so they need an actor who can really take the character to a dark place because we know that Bryan Singer is capable of just that (X2: X-Men United).

Who do you think should play Superman?

/Film has reported today that Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight) $150+ million dollar scifi epic Inception has begun filming in Tokyo. The report also says that Inception will be filming in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tangiers and Calgary. Also, screenwriter David Goyer (The Dark Knight) recently spoke with IGN about a third installment to Nolan’s Batman films. Goyer stated that in regards to Nolan to “talk to him after principle photography on Inception is done.”

I am a fan of all of Nolan’s work Batman or not. I can’t wait for this film and the fact that it has begun shooting makes me just that more excited.

Are you looking foward to Inception?

Last year, reports surfaced on how hard it was to lobby Christopher Nolan into directing a sequel to Batman Begins. Sure enough, after much effort from David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan, The Dark Knight went into production and became one of the biggest blockbuster films ever created, with Christopher Nolan at the helm. The third film was planned out with the Joker as the villain, but then the death of actor Heath Ledger shocked the world. Apparently Nolan was so emotionally distraught that he couldn’t see being involved with any more Batman films himself.

Bryan Singer recently spoke to Total Film to promote the UK DVD and Blu-Ray release of Valkyrie. Singer answered a few questions about coming back to X-Men and Superman.

On Superman Singer, as usual, acted coy:

“I don’t know, I don’t know. There are still issues. I just don’t know. I don’t necessarily…I don’t know. It’s one of those things where…It’s so weird talking about stuff unless I’m about to ramp up and shoot it.“
