'X-Men 3’ Director Brett Ratner Says ‘There’s Nothing Left’ In Comics For Him To Ruin - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

He’s the rumored front-runner to call the shots on a “Conan” revamp, he’s officially onboard to produce and direct an adaptation of Rob Liefeld’s “Youngblood,” and he already has one financially successful comic book adaptation under his belt (2006’s “X-Men: The Last Stand“), but Hollywood heavyweight Brett Ratner isn’t done with comics. In fact, he wants to do more movies based on them.

“I would do any superhero movie that I was asked to do,” Ratner told MTV News. “But I wouldn’t have been interested in ‘Iron Man.’ I have a lot of respect for [Jon Favreau], because to me, it was a B-character. ‘Iron Man’? … But look what he did.”

The ever-outspoken Ratner — who has achieved a “love him or hate him” status among fans — lamented to MTV that he nearly landed a franchise character (namely Superman) but eventually passed on the chance to direct Big Blue’s return to cinemas. He now worries that the ship has sailed on notable characters that have mainstream box office appeal.

“I was so upset when I left ‘Superman,’” said Ratner. “[Bryan] Singer has his ‘X-Men,’ [Christopher] Nolan has ‘Batman‘ — there’s nothing left. ‘Hulk‘ has been exploited already. There’s nothing left for me.”

“I mean, I’m not going to go and do the Silver Surfer or something,” shrugged Ratner.

I hope Brett Ratner doesn't do any comic heroes. He sucks. He killed X-Men 3.

maybe he could move on to reality television and finally kill that off.
