As the DCU expands with Supergirl and TV shows like Peacemaker season 2 and Lanterns, it's no surprise that we're getting a follow-up to this year's Superman – though James Gunn has been upfront about the fact that it won't be your typical "Superman 2" and is more on an ensemble-led flick.
Fortunately for Big Blue fans, though, the writer-director assured them during a recent appearance on Deadline's Crew Call podcast that the Man of Steel will still be "an important element" in the sequel, and that it takes place "within the group of characters we've already met".
