On the heels of the worldwide success of Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder is bringing together the two greatest super heroes of all time – Batman and Superman – for the first time on the big screen for the sequel.
The announcement was made by Greg Silverman, president, creative development and worldwide production, and Sue Kroll, president, worldwide marketing and international distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Man of Steel has taken in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and is climbing. Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcoming film brings back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. The role of Batman has yet to be cast.
Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date in Summer 2015.
