Man of Steel might have split opinions when it came out three years ago – but the movie was a commercial success for Warner Bros. They put the ice on a proper sequel to allow the wider DC Movie Universe to grow. Now though it’s being reported that Man of Steel 2 is back on the table and is under full development.
The news comes via The Wrap which reports that Man OF Steel 2 is back in active development. George Miller has been reportedly attached to the project although he’s nixed the idea publicly. The next Superman solo movie has been a notable absentee from the DC Movie slate – other franchises being given the chance to go ahead of it.
With the news that Ben Affleck’s Batman is set to get his own solo outing – it makes sense that the DC Movie Universe would get back around to developing another solo outing for the hero that started it all.
The earliest the movie could make it to cinema screens is probably 2019. Next year we’re set to get a Justice League movie – which Henry Cavill’s Superman has been featured in the promotional material. That movies sequel is still slated for June 14th 2019 – which means Superman will likely land either side of it. Unless the studio is able to get a script whipped up in double time; we’d suspect that Man of Steel 2 might come after that Justice League sequel.
We’ll be sure to keep you up to date with any news from this.
