Deadline now reports that the studio is in early negotiations with Jon Watts to helm the movie about the man who lived to be 969 years old.

Should Watts join, he will direct from a script penned by Tony Gilroy. According to sources, the script focuses on Methuselah’s survival skills.

Despite being a priority at Warner Bros., the project has been in development for years. In that time, names like Will Smith and Tom Cruise have been attached to the project.

Watts directed Spider-Man: Homecoming as well as the upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Sylvester Stallone created the role of boxer who overcame several obstacles when he himself was a struggling actor. The original story of the southpaw earned the Academy Award for Best Picture, as well as 2 others, and Stallone went on to play the iconic character in another 7 films. Lately, he has been in Creed and Creed II where he played the mentor to Michael B. Jordan’s character.

But now, in an Instagram video, he has officially passed on the mantle…

“I just want to thank everyone around the whole wide world for taking the Rocky family into their hearts for over 40 years. It’s been my ultimate privilege to have been able to create and play this meaningful character,” the 72-year-old wrote in the caption. “Though it breaks my heart, sadly all things must pass and end. I love you kind and generous people, and the most wonderful thing of all, is that Rocky will never die because he lives on in you.”

So long, Rocky. You fought well.

No, it’s the Superman movies which Warner Bros. are letting pass us by.

For now.

With Henry Cavill being cast as the lead in Netflix’s new series, The Witcher, speculation arose as to what would happen to the future of DC’s Superman films of which Henry is the star.

Well, it now appears as though we have our answer. The studio has decided not to make a stand-alone Superman movie for the next few years; switching focus to a Supergirl film as its priority instead, with 21 Jump Street writer, Oren Uziel, working on the screenplay.

An appearance by the Man of Steel in the upcoming Shazam! flick also fell through as a result of scheduling conflicts due to Henry’s starring in Mission: Impossible — Fallout.

As a result, it looks as though the 35-year-old will be hanging up his cape.

Reports have also claimed that Black Panther star, Michael B. Jordan, could be taking on the role of Clark Kent in the future.
