Justice League director Zack Snyder revealed that he’d cast new actors if he directed a cinematic version of The Dark Knight Returns.
Although it seems like Zack Snyder’s days working with Warner Bros. are over, the director has always maintained that directing a live-action adaptation of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns is a dream project for him. He previously explained that he’s obsessed with the idea and that he’d do it as a one-off movie rather than spin a franchise out of it. But in a more recent interview Snyder opened up about how he’d approach the story.
When speaking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Zack Snyder confessed that he’d cast new actors to play Batman and Superman in The Dark Knight Returns instead of bringing back Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, just to make sure it was entirely its own thing. He also compared the vision he has for the graphic novel to his take on Watchmen, saying it would be really frame-accurate. Take a look below.
“No, I don’t think so. I think it would just be its own thing. Yeah, I think it would be its own thing. I would just do it one hundred percent, Watchmen style, really frame-accurate. Really do it. I don’t think it would be that expensive, to be honest. I don’t think so. It’s pretty gritty.”
