Top Gun’s Tony Scott Almost Directed Man of Steel, Reveals David S. Goyer

Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer recently shared that Tony Scott almost directed the 2013 superhero movie.Speaking with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Goyer revealed that Zack Snyder and Scott were the top two choices to helm Man of Steel, with Snyder ultimately prevailing. “It was a very deliberative process. Chris met with I want to say about five directors and it came down to Zack and another director, and it felt like Zack was the right call. I think Zack was the right call. It was really exciting, the fact that Zack wanted to shoot that movie handheld, which was I thought a brilliant idea,” Goyer explained. “What’s interesting in the Elseworlds version of what could have been is, Chris had already met with Tony Scott, so there’s a version of a Tony Scott Man of Steel in some parallel universe. I think Tony Scott doesn’t get as much credit as he should be given, because he was an equally phenomenal director as his brother, and that’s a movie I would have liked to have seen.”Man of Steel is the first installment in the DC Extended Universe and a reboot of the Christopher Reeve/Brandon Routh Superman film series. Henry Cavill portrays Clark Kent/Kal-El in the superhero film, which depicts the character’s origin story as well as his first battle as Earth’s protector, Superman. Michael Shannon stars as the film’s main antagonist, General Zod, who seeks to transform Earth into a new Krypton. Although Man of Steel divided critics and fans, the movie was a major box office success, grossing $668 million worldwide.RELATED: Superman and Lois Season 4 Gets Disappointing Release Update
