Warner Bros. is in the process of fast-tracking a sequel to Man of Steel. The news arrived just a couple days before the film was set to hit theaters. With buzz high and many reviews glowing (though the Rotten Tomatoes score hasn’t held as high as many anticipated) moving forward with a sequel comes as little surprise.
Director Zack Snyder is expected to return along with the writing team including David S. Goyer. Christopher Nolan, who produced and helped create the story, is expected to be involved but in a lesser capacity. The Justice League movie is also still being envisioned by the studio and box office success by Man of Steel would help move that along.
