Will there be a Man of Steel 2?
Henry Cavill’s statement that he is returning as Superman could be new evidence that Man of Steel 2 will actually materialise. Warner Bros. spent nearly a decade considering several ideas for a Man of Steel sequel before abandoning them a few years ago.
Henry Cavill does not directly reference the upcoming sequel Man of Steel, but there is little question that it is a part of the plans he is teasing.
The time may have come for Warner Bros. to provide fans with more of Henry Cavill’s Superman. Cavill’s enthusiasm for returning to the role bodes well for a speedy production of the sequel and a bright future for Superman.
