Man of Steel 2 An Upsetting Update As The Film Struggles to Find Crew

Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starred Henry Cavill in the lead role of Superman or Kal-El. The film focused on the last son of Krypton and he has found a new life on Earth. However, the survivors of Krypton see Earth as a replacement of Krypton. No one is powerful enough to defeat the Kryptonians except for Superman. He must make a choice between his past and his present. The film had an amazing supporting cast like Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Diana Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon and Laurence Fishburne. The film was not critically acclaimed however, the fans loved it and they loved Henry Cavill as Superman. The film was made on a budget of $225-$258 Million and it made $668 Million on the global box office. The film was under the banner of Warner Bros. and DC.

As the film was profitable, a sequel was in the works. The original plan when the movie was in development was to create a Superman trilogy like Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. However, in the mean time considering the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Warner Bros. decided to change plans and start making a universe right away. So, they changed the Man of Steel sequel to a Batman vs Superman movie, where they could introduce various superheroes of this universe like Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. However, the plan backfired as Dawn of Justice didn’t work out that well critically but it was once again profitable. After that I think we’re all aware of Justice League crisis of 2017. How Snyder faced a personal tragedy and Whedon took over and ruined his vision, only for fans to erupt.

After years of campaigning, fans got to see Snyder’s version of the Justice League. However, between everything that was happening, Warner Bros. forgot the very first thing they’d set out to do- a Superman trilogy. Fans have been craving for a sequel for years but that have received nothing but disappointment and it looks like there is more to come.

Man of Steel 2 is Stagnant?

I think it was just last week that I covered something about Man of Steel 2. I think the premise of the same was how the sequel is coming along faster than expected. The news certainly elated me and I’m sure a lot of other fans as well. However, this recent update will for sure ruin your day as it is not in itself just a bad news but the news is so bad that it almost eclipses and masks the good news that we’d gotten last week. A new report from The Wrap, tells us a different story of Man of Steel’s production that shows the reality of the film.

The website unraveled that for now, the film doesn’t not have a writer or director committed to the project, and there’s also no official deal with Henry Cavill to put the cape on again. On top of that, DCU leads James Gunn and Peter Safran have been occupied “fine-tuning their long-range plan for the DCU.” This update contradicts several previous ones, with some even saying “that [Warner Bros. is] a lot closer to shooting a new Superman.”

Let me know what do you think of this assumption. Man of Steel 2 isn’t officially announced yet. Man of Steel is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video or HBO Max.
