Is it Singer's "time"? I've heard rumors for years...but for a director to just vaporize during a shoot is virtually unheard of, so...I dunno

On edit - hey, he might just have a cough due to cold, so - I still dunno.

1. Happened during Justice League

Except after fans rejoiced that the hated director -- Zack Snyder -- stepped down, it turned out that his daughter had committed suicide. That was a billion dollar movie. It had a better musical score, but that was most definitely NOT worth a human life. Fuck Batman and Wonder Woman and whoever else.

Singer has had rumors about underage, consensual victims for years, but those were GAY, so who cares, right? (sarcasm)

Personally, I think that the studio STILL would have covered it up, except there have been reports of troubles on the set and with the production in general for months and years. I have a sneaking suspicion that it was an excuse to get him off the movie. Entirely TRUE, but billionaires don't play by "actual/alternative fact" rules.
