Henry Cavill is the Man of Steel in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

"Mad Max: Fury Road" director George Miller has been reported to direct the sequel of Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel."

In the Popcorn Talk podcast, "Metalocalypse" television series animator Jon Schnepp said that Miller will be taking the director's seat for "Man of Steel 2" after the success of his action adventure sci-fi film "Mad Max: Fury Road."

While this can be a rumor, it is possible for Miller to direct a "Man of Steel" sequel, according to Cinema Blend. In 2008, the director was tapped by Warner Bros. to direct a "Justice League" movie. However, the film did not push through secondary to tax breaks and writers' strike.

Miller is known to direct a number of "Mad Max" features, including "Mad Max," "Max Max 2: The Road Warrior," and his most recent "Mad Max: Fury Road." Aside from films of the action genre, the director is also known for directing the animated comedy film "Happy Feet" and "Happy Feet 2."

Meanwhile, Schenpp is known for his animation work in Tommy Blacha and Brendon Small's comedy music animated television series "Metalocalypse," and Kaare Andrews and Angela Bettis' horror comedy film "The ABCs of Death." The animator is also known for his documentary "The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?"

At the moment, fans are set to see the Man of Steel clash with the Dark Knight in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." Serving as foundation to Snyder's "Justice League: Part One," the aforementioned film stars Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel, along with Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher, among others.

Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to hit theaters in United States on Mar. 25, 2016. Watch the podcast here:
