'X-Men' director Bryan Singer is to direct the next 'Superman' movie.

Singer replaces 'Charlie's Angels' director McG, who exited the project last week.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Singer's commitment to the new film means that his two scheduled projects, a remake of 'Logan's Run' and the third 'X-Men' movie, may be pushed back.

Commenting on his decision to direct the new film, Singer said: My interest in 'Superman' dates back many, many years. In fact, it was the Richard Donner classic film that was my day-to-day inspiration in shaping the 'X-Men' universe for the screen. I feel that 'Superman' has been late in his return and it is time for him to fly again."
