'Superman Returns'
Bryan Singer has confirmed that he has started work on a sequel to Superman Returns.
The director said the project, which has been rumoured since October 2006, is still in the early stages.
He told Empire: "I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel... with the intention of directing it."
He also hit out at claims that the original film was a commercial and critical disappointment, saying: "That movie made $400 million! I don’t know what constitutes under-performing these days."
But he added: "I can understand, I suppose, what some people mean. Perhaps some people went in with the expectation of it being like an X-Men film, and Superman is a tougher character than that. Especially bringing him back.
"It really goes back to the fact that you can only please some of the people some of the time."
