Superman Returns
Superman Returns is a 2006 American superhero film directed and co-produced by Bryan Singer and written by Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, from a story by Singer, Dougherty and Harris.
Based on the DC Comics character Superman, it is the sixth and final installment in the original" Superman" film series and serves as a homage sequel to" Superman"( 1978) and" Superman II"( 1980), while ignoring the events of" Superman III"( 1983)," Supergirl"( 1984) and( 1987).
The film stars Brandon Routh as Clark Kent/ Superman, Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, with James Marsden, Frank Langella, and Parker Posey.
The film tells the story of the title character returning to Earth after a five- year absence.
He finds that his love interest Lois Lane has moved on with her life, and that his archenemy Lex Luthor is plotting a scheme that will destroy both Superman and America.
After a series of unsuccessful projects to resurrect" Superman" on screen following the critical and financial failure of" The Quest for Peace", Warner Bros. hired Bryan Singer to direct and develop" Superman Returns" in July 2004.
The majority of principal photography took place at Fox Studios Australia, Sydney, while the visual effects sequences were created by a number of studios, including Sony Pictures Imageworks, Rhythm& Hues, Framestore, Rising Sun Pictures, and The Orphanage; filming ended in November 2005.
Upon release," Superman Returns" received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its visual effects, story, musical score, the performances of Routh and Spacey.
However, it received criticism focusing on its runtime and lack of action sequences.
While very profitable at the box office, Warner Bros. was disappointed with the worldwide box office return, cancelling a sequel planned for 2009 as a result.
The" Superman" film series was completely rebooted in 2013 with" Man of Steel", directed by Zack Snyder, starring Henry Cavill as Superman and launching the DC Extended Universe.
Routh later reprised his role as Superman in the 2019 Arrowverse crossover" Crisis on Infinite Earths".
