Although Warner Bros. announced a sequel to Man of Steel back in 2013, the project took a back seat when the studio decided to bring The Dark Knight into the fold for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Both Batman and Superman were absent from Warner’s slate of DC movies through to 2020, there were rumours last year that Man of Steel 2 was in development, although reports of Mad Max: Fury Road helmer George Miller directing seemed to be wide of the mark.
So, with talk of a solo Batman movie intensifying, IGN caught up with Henry Cavill, Zack Snyder and producer Charles Roven to ask what the future holds for another solo movie for the Last Son of Krytpon:
“I do believe it depends upon the success of [Batman v Superman],” stated Cavill. “If this goes well then we can start negotiating with Warner Bros. to develop a standalone Superman. But they’ve got their plans set out for other stuff and Justice Leagues and various other movies. It’s about finding the time, really. It’s something that I would be very keen to do.”

“I think if we can get a good script it would be great to get a standalone Superman,” said Snyder, with Charles Roven adding that: “We’re in the process of looking at that, but we don’t have it on the schedule at the moment because we’re quite busy with the movies that we have scheduled.”
