Warner Bros. Actively Developing MAN OF STEEL 2

Breaking news out of Hollywood! A new report is claiming that Warner Bros. Pictures has placed a Man Of Steel sequel, starring Henry Cavill, in active development, seemingly confirming a two-year old rumor about the long-awaited sequel. Come check it out now!

It's been long-rumored that a sequel to 2013's Man Of Steel was in the works at Warner Bros. and it was actaully even more or less announced in an official press release back in 2014. However, three years managed to pass, and fans of the Last Son of Krypton were only treated to a semi-sequel in the form of Zack Snyder's critically maligned Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which saw DC's most iconic hero ever sacrifice himself for the greater good, albeit in a fairly anticlimactic manner, especially considering Henry Cavill was confirmed for an appearance in the currently filming Justice League shortly after the film's release.

In the time since the Time Warner Investor Day announcement from CEO Kevin Tsujihara, the studio seemed to shift their priorities, confirming and/or launching production on solo films for other DC heroes, including Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern Corps, and even The Batman, but no word on a new Superman project... until today that is. 

The Wrap is reporting that Warner Bros. has actively started developing the long-rumored Man Of Steel sequel. The untitled project is still in its infant stages, so no further details were provided, but their source adds that: "Superman is a top priority for the studio and getting the character right for audiences is of tantamount importance." Now, that should be music to the ears of many comic book movie fans worldwide. Also, while not explicity stated, it can probably be assumed that both Henry Cavill and Amy Adams will reprise their roles as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, respectively.

As for a release date, WB already has two Untitled DC Films slated for October 5, 2018 and November 1, 2019, so if the Ben Affleck-directed Batman solo feature lands the October date, as expected, then there's probably a decent chance the Superman sequel will arrive in theaters November 2019.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

@Ryuzaki - If you check IMDB of Patty Jenkins, her next film in development as DIRECTOR is I AM SUPERMAN.

@Ryuzaki - he would be great on SS sequel - more so than a JL movie I think.

@Kr08 -

Awesome choice, makes great films, heck I even enjoyed TomorrowLand.
Also gave us one of the best Superman moments ever on screen.

@Kr08 - Tomorrowland was shit but Incredibles and Mission Impossible 4 were pretty good.

I think Guy Ritchie should direct the Green Lantern Corps film. I loved his Sherlock films and Man from UNCLE was great.

@Kr08 - "The Man from UNCLE" was fantastic!

@Kr08 - he isn't much of a sci fi guy though?

but some directors jump genres to great success *cough* *russos*

@Kr08 - That's an interesting choice!

I'd say Duncan Jones for either Green Lantern or Man Of Steel 2.

@Kr08 - I'd settle for a mear mention of the character at this point...

@Kr08 - No way! Directors jumping genres is what got us the first green lantern debacle. Martin Campbell wasn't the best fit for GL the same way Ritchie isn't the best fit for GL.

@PesciGotPepsi @ALostCause - After seeing the new King Arthur trailer, where he definitely makes huge genre jump, I think Ritchie would be a perfect choice.

@Kr08 - Guy Ritchie would probably do wonders with a Guy Gardner style character. I hate Gardner, but I feel like he would do the character very well.


Wow just now getting the Guy and Guy thing.

@Kr08 - I would love a Joss Whedon GL Corps film

Give us Brainiac!!!

@spidey1994 - Oh, please let this happen! It needs to be done in the more classic Superman kind of story, though.

@spidey1994 - Fun theory. What if they are going to bring Brainiac in using Lex. Lex and Brainiac morphed together in the animated series. And Lex was clearly much more unhinged after going into the Kryptonian ship in BvS. Maybe Brainiac has already latched onto Lex.

@spidey1994 - They need to give us Superman first.

@loganelliott - Please no more Lex

@spidey1994 - I always thought Brainiac is a JL villain not a Superman one.

But now I'm hoping for Brainiac in this movie.

I guess now, through some terrible twist of fate, Man of Steel is somehow their most critically acclaimed film and their safest sequel....

@MrDandy - You're RIGHT. Hope they don't bring Snyder tho.
