David Corenswet shares an exciting update on the potential Superman 2 following his DC Universe film debut. After several years of waiting, Krypton’s last son has returned to the big screen, with James Gunn’s Superman movie finally playing in theaters, marking the proper kickoff to the DCU franchise.
While there are multiple DCU movies and TV shows in development by DC Studios, many are wondering what the future for Corenswet’s Superman holds following his 2025 movie introduction. Given that Superman is one of the central heroes of the DC brand, the Man of Steel is bound to make a comeback sooner rather than later in the DCU.
During a Vanity Fair lie-detector test featuring Nicholas Hoult and Corenswet, the DCU’s new Superman actor revealed, “I’m already under contract for a sequel.” However, as of now, there is no official Superman 2 sequel planned at DC Studios since the first movie was just released this week.
What David Corenswet’s Superman Sequel Update Means For The DCU Star
When it comes to a Superman 2 movie, an announcement will likely take some time. DC Studios needs to gauge how Gunn’s film performs at the worldwide box office. Nonetheless, the fact that Corenswet is already signed on for another Superman installment is promising, as it suggests he is most likely contracted for a multi-picture deal, a common practice for major franchises like DC.
Once Superman’s box office numbers are finalized, they will play a crucial role in determining whether Superman 2 gets the green light. But it also hinges on whether Gunn has a story in mind for a sequel. Fans may even see Corenswet’s Superman in other DCU projects before a potential Superman 2.
Our Take On David Corenswet’s Superman Sequel Update
Hearing Corenswet confirm his commitment to more DCU projects is exhilarating, especially after the warm reception of his introduction in Superman. Based on the positive critical response and promising box office projections thus far, Superman 2 appears likely to come to fruition.
It’s really more about when Superman 2 will happen rather than if it will. There are several factors to consider. Gunn has made it clear that projects will not be rushed unless a finalized script is in place, and that principle also applies to Superman 2.
The last thing the DCU needs after Superman, especially if it becomes a massive hit, is a rushed sequel that will undermine the hard work Gunn has invested in the franchise so far. If Superman 2 happens, let’s hope the same level of care that went into Superman will be applied to its sequel.
