Man Who Helped Zack Snyder Screw Up DCEU in Talks to Direct He-Man Flick

David S. Goyer, the man who wrote Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman, is in talks to direct the upcoming He-Man movie. Goyer, who once called the Marvel Comics character She-Hulk a "big green porn star" also wrote the latest draft of the script, according to a report from THR. On the same podcast as the She-Hulk comments, Goyer additionally said that any fans who know who DC Comics character The Martian Manhunter is are virgins.

A He-Man reboot has been in the works for some time, at first with director John Woo attached, and later directors John Stevenson and even later Jon M. Chu. Goyer, who also contributed writing to the Dark Knight trilogy and the Blade trilogy, was originally positioned as one of the architects of the DCEU, only to be seemingly pushed out in favor of Zack Snyder, who was later pushed out of Justice League in favor of Joss Whedon.

For the record, here's how Goyer said he would add Martian Manhunter to the DCEU:

I would set it up like The Day After Tomorrow. We discover one of those Earth-like planets… So maybe like… we get the DNA code from that planet and then grow him in a petri dish here… He's like in Area 51 or something and we're just basically… doing biopsies on him. Then he gets out and he's really angry and he f***s She-Hulk.

Maybe we should just watch the 1987 classic Masters of the Universe instead.
