September 21, 2015: Zack Snyder Says "Batman v Superman" is "Man of Steel 2"

Man of Steel In an interview with Jam Canoe, director Zack Snyder has updated us on where the 2-part "Justice League" movies are at, and gives his thoughts on whether we'll see a "Man of Steel 2".

    For the upcoming crop of DC superhero films – including 2017's Justice League Part One and 2019's Justice League Part Two, both of which Snyder is slated to direct – "we really have to figure out the why of them. And I think that we have. That's the one thing that's cool to me about Batman v Superman, it's all about the mythology of these two massive icons. And I think that's compelling."

    So where does that leave Man of Steel 2 in the mix?

    "I think in a way Batman v Superman is Man of Steel 2," said Snyder, making it sound like a standalone Superman sequel is definitely not DC's highest priority right now. "Justice League is kind of the transcendent, knights-of-the-round-table of the story. It'd be interesting to think about what a standalone Superman movie might be."

As the interviewer states, it doesn't sound like a stand-alone Superman movie is a priority for Warner Bros. at the moment. Perhaps that might change as plans for the Justice League movies begin in earnest.
