Director: 'Superman movie in weird place'
Director James McTeigue has said that the next Superman movie is in "a weird place".

McTeigue is rumoured to be attached to a forthcoming follow-up to 2006's Superman Returns from Warner Bros.

"It's in a weird place at the moment," the V For Vendetta director told MTV News. "They're trying to work out what they're doing. Warner Bros is trying to figure out their next move on it.

"There's some things you can do with the Superman franchise, there's other things you can't do. So it hasn't gone anywhere."

The Superman property is the subject of ongoing legal wrangling between DC Comics/Warner and the heirs of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster – the creators of the Man of Steel.

DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson recently claimed that the company has no current plans for another Superman film.
