A few weeks ago, it was revealed that the highly anticipated sequel to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel has become a "top priority" for Warner Bros., and that the film was rumored to be in its earliest stages of development. Where the film fits in the ever-growing DC Film slate has yet to be revealed, but according to Henry Cavill's management, the Man of Steel sequel is officially happening, and a lot sooner than we thought.

During a recent interview with Newsweek, Dany Garcia, Henry Cavill's manager and producer on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's upcoming SHAZAM!, confirmed the active development of the sequel. “Henry has a big appetite,” said Garcia. “We’ve been in a five-month period of time where he’s re-strategizing, acquiring property [for his production company Promethean], he’s filming [Justice League] now, he’s in development for the Superman standalone… he’s beginning to expand that world.”

With the recent backlash on how the iconic hero was treated in Batman V Superman, it looks like Cavill has decided to take on a much more active role in the development of the sequel and the character himself. There is still no release date set, but you can expect to see the Man of Steel make his triumphant return in 2017's Justice League.

The problem is now... that we simply wont have any level of tension or risk of Superman failing. He's died once, they wont do it again and even if they did we know he'd just come back again.

Too little too late to be honest - cant see the film being well received after MoS or BvS and they've already blown the idea of killing Superman so threats like Braniac or Darkseid wont have the emotional weight then need.
