Warner Bros Wants ‘Man of Steel 2’ Next Year

The new Superman movie has now opened to almost $200 million at the worldwide box office, plus it earned over $160 million in cross-promotions and product placements.

However, the initial plan was to release “Justice League” during the summer of 2015 but Warner Brothers had trouble figuring out what it wanted to do with its DC superheroes and so they finally decided to focus on “Man of Steel” first.

“It’s more than just a franchise for us, it really opens up the door to do combinations of the DC Comics characters,” said Dan Fellman, Warner’s president of domestic distribution. “We can build them up like Marvel did and benefit from the history of DC.”

Warner is already in development on a sequel to “Man of Steel” and is fast-tracking its release as early as 2014.

In addition, “Justice League” may just keep its original release date and is already developing for 2015.
