AVENGERS: ENDGAME Writers Say They Believe There is an Audience For a Lighter Superman Movie, and Captain America Proves That

Over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, Avengers: End Game writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely certainly made a splash. They went from Hall H, where they told us one of the versions of End Game had Thanos throwing Captain America’s head at the feet of the Avengers, to this wonderful little tidbit from an interview with ScreenRant’s Joseph Deckelmeier.

Deckelmeier asked the writing duo if they had a chance, what DC character they would want to take on and McFeely’s answer was quick and decisive:

I certainly think Captain America shows that are certainly ways to do a really good Superman movie in this day. You don’t have to dirty him up, you don’t have to get rid of his earnestness. The Christopher Reeve Superman is one of my favorite movies and so, that’s one we certainly borrow from all the time.

I want this more to happen more than I would like to explain. Superman is tied for my favorite DC character along with Booster Gold and the Blue Beetle. I am a fan of Superman in the movies and I feel that he has been perfectly cast all three times. Save your arguments, you aren’t going to change my mind. I feel that Markus and McFeely have exactly what it takes to make Henry Cavill the Superman that we have been drooling for. That is right, there is no need to recast Superman as long as Cavill wants to do it.

This pairing is a perfect storm of nerdgasmic excellence, that I have no other words to describe it. I hope that they get the chance. Let me know what you think.
