Man of Steel 2
Kingsmandirector Matthew Vaughn says that his programme forMan of Steel 2involved borrowing account item from his earlier scrapped Superman trilogy . Vaughn pitched the trilogy , along withKingsmanwriter Matthew Millar , to Warner Bros. in 2008 , but the studio apartment ended up hold out with David S. Goyer ’s screenplay instead , and hire Zack Snyder to aim ( and later on become the original architect of the DC Extended Universe ) .

speak toPolygonduring the press tour for Elton John biopicRocketman , which he produce , Vaughn offered some details about his and Millar ’s original proposed Superman trilogy , and said that he would have borrowed some of those estimation for Man of Steel 2 . key as an uplifting and hopeful approach to the character , the planned trilogy would have changed Superman ’s descent level to have him mature up on Krypton instead of Earth . The first film would have been set mostly on Krypton and concenter on Superman ’s father , Jor - El , as he tried to prevent the ultimate end of the satellite ( though the destruction would finally have happened ) . Superman would have only afterwards gotten to know Earth , and would have found his commitment buck between the two major planet .
Of course , it would have been difficult to comprise some elements of Vaughn and Millar ’s trilogy intoMan of Steel 2 , sinceKrypton was destroyed inMan of Steeland Superman was sent to Earth as a infant , in keeping with classic canon . However , there are plenty of mode in which Vaughn could have made a sequel about Superman being rupture between his family on Earth and the the great unwashed of Krypton - for example , by revealing that the Kryptonian metropolis of Argo make it the planet ’s destruction , as it did in the comics .
After the backlash to bothBatman V Superman : Dawn of JusticeandJustice League , Warner Bros. has shifted its focus from Superman to other DC characters . Wonder Woman , Aquaman , andSuicide Squadall have sequel on the style , and Batman is get a soft reboot in Matt Reeves’The Batman , withRobert Pattinson now confirmedto be taking over the character from Ben Affleck . When we ’ll actually get to see Superman again - inMan of Steel 2or otherwise - remains to be seen .
