In a recent disclosure, Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane in the DCEU, said that Warner Bros is now in the scripting stages for “Man of Steel 2.”
Adams said that she just read about “Man of Steel 2” from the press and that a lot of times, she finds out after the fact, which is completely normal for her. She, however, confirmed that she knows that Warner Bros is working on a script and the movie is in the works.
While no concrete release date has been announced yet for “Man of Steel 2,” DC has two unclaimed slots on their release calendar – October 25, 2018 and November 1, 2019.
As many have pointed out, neither of those dates make much sense for “Man of Steel 2” considering they’re not summer releases and fall releases are generally reserved for Oscar contenders or “Star Wars.”
The important thing to look at is the year: 2018 and 2019. Of those two years, 2019 looks most likely given that a 2018 release would mean the film would have to go into production pretty much now. Even 2019 could be pushing it, but if Warner Bros is just moving into active development it seems to make sense for the timeline.
