What if: Bryan Singer never left to do Superman Returns?

I think he would've handled the Dark Phoenix Saga differently.

In X-2 they were already setting up for it, so it would've been the main focus of the 3rd movie & maybe the 4th movie would've been the war between the mutants & the government.

I remember hearing he wanted The Phoenix to be the primary focus for the third movie, as it should have been. I just haven't heard a clear-cut version of why he left in the first place. The video claims Fox just didn't sign him on, but I heard before that a scorned Hallie Berry got him fired or something because she wanted more screen time. The former seems more likely.

If Michael Bay did Superman it would've been a colossal critical failure. It probably would've made 1/2 billion, but any sequel would be shunned by the public.

Like Transformers. Only Transformers keep making enough to warrant sequels and Michael Bay keeps getting work despite all the critical failures. I just... I don't understand the world, man.

Nothing would've changed w/ Batman. A Michael Bay Superman movie would'nt affect it, no matter how much money it brought in.

I guess I could just see the above scenario happening because movie studios executives aren't always the brightest tools in the shed.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe would've still happened, too. Stan Lee had dreams of that happening since the 60s & that dream carried on from every Publisher/President of the company ever since.

This I did not know. This makes me insanely happen knowing how well the Cinematic Universe has done
