“As far as the individual character is concerned, this is not a Superman sequel”, Cavill told Entertainment Weekly.

Of the 10 DC Comics movies Warner Bros. has slated through 2020, “Man of Steel 2” isn’t on the docket.
What do you make of Snyder and Affleck’s remarks?
BATMAN, Superman and Wonder Woman are going to loom large at Comic-Con this year – and in toy boxes.
Why in the world would the Universe foist Ben Affleck on us as Batman? Each of the six-inch-tall figures comes with fabric capes, display bases that combine to form the film’s iconic logo and lights-and-sounds packaging teasing one of the big moments from the upcoming movie.
Director Zack Snyder has heard the criticism about the vast amount of destruction Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod (Michael Shannon) caused in Metropolis during the climactic battle of Man of Steel – and he doesn’t regret a single explosion. That makes more sense in a way, possibly this could be a screen where the evil characters check out the stats of potential enemies like Superman before they go into battle? Additionally, Warner Bros. also brought out Superman’s new costume as well as Wonder Woman’s armor, both featuring real-life interpretations that are visually stunning. New images from the film have already been released, a massive Hall H panel has been promised, and more surprises are on the way, but the brains behind the project, most notably director Zack Snyder, are also thinking about what might have been.
“Chris would talk and I would draw and it was basically this weird mural of the movies with no words”, Snyder said. “That’s what Watchmen was about in a lot of ways too”.
“There are so many expectations for this character, it’s impossible not to be a little nervous about it”, she said.
But once she got rolling, Gadot loved the work she was doing. She’s still working on her lasso skill though.
Although Snyder claims he “always intended” to count and address the dead, there were very few signs of it in the final Man of Steel cut.
Other members of the cast with unconfirmed roles in the film include Holly Hunter from “The Piano”, Jena Malone of “Sucker Punch”, Tao Okamoto from “The Wolverine” Callan Mulvey of “300: Rise of an Empire“, and Scoot McNairy of “Argo“.
