Predicting 20 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2017
4. Superman LIVES
Okay, so it's probably more likely that the next Superman film is called Man Of Steel 2, but wouldn't it be bloody marvellous for DC and Warner Bros to reappropriate the name of the binned Nic Cage Superman movie?
The conversation around a Man Of Steel sequel has been going on since before Batman v Superman even came out, and given that the original made close to $700m, there's no reason Warner Bros wouldn't follow through. They probably need to hire a different director to Zack Snyder (George Miller anyone?), but there's more than enough in Henry Cavill's Superman to justify another stand-alone.
Perhaps it could deal with the fall-out of his return from death and a turn to evil? Or maybe we'll see the long rumoured appearances of Brainiac and Bizarro?
Evidence?
Though the studio are yet to confirm it, The Wrap, suggest that Man of Steel 2 is in "active development," thanks to a "source close to the project".
It could well be that DC are refusing to confirm it to preserve the "secret" that Superman is still alive, which will be revealed in Justice League.
