Superman Prequel Krypton TV Series: David Goyer Reveals New Details
Famed movie producer and writer David Goyer recently talked about his upcoming projects in the big and small screens, revealing that the Superman film "Man of Steel" has a prequel, a TV series titled "Krypton" that is currently in the works.
Goyer made a lot of DC Comics fans anxious since the prequel, "Krypton," would be in the form of a TV series although more details are yet to be released. "It's the story before the story," Goyer said of the prequel as quoted by Variety.
Apparently, "Krypton" will be the story behind the 2013 film "Man of Steel." Goyer further explained that it will be "How these iconic characters became the people they are - when you're dealing with these iconic characters, that is fun territory to mine," he said.
It is still unconfirmed if the show will even reach its premiere as it is only in the initial stages of development and might ultimately be unplugged, but Goyer promised per SMN Weekly, "Should we make the show, there will definitely be a few big moments."
Meanwhile, the writer producer also revealed to Variety that the idea was from the hit Christopher Nolan Batman films including the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
But the fun is not over yet since Goyer also shared a few details on what fans will be expecting in the TV series "Krypton."
"It involves more of the mythology than I think people realize," Goyer disclosed. "A lot more," he continued. The series is reportedly set 200 years before the events seen in the film "Man of Steel."
Furthermore, Goyer revealed that the TV series will not be as detached from the "Man of Steel." He shared as quoted by SMN Weekly, "There were a lot of ideas that I wanted to use in the film that didn't ultimately make it into the film."
Goyer, who is famous for his works on DC Comics, gets his ideas and inspiration from his childhood, so fans can expect a level of authenticity in his films and TV series as they are originally based from the comics.
"A lot of us grew up during the Marvel Age and now these are the people actually making film and TV," Goyer shared as quoted by Variety.
"It's natural that we'd want to bring some of those characters that we grew up with into our work," he added.
