MAN OF STEEL Producer's Interesting Reaction To Supergirl Rumors

The tie-in, prequel comic book for Man of Steel followed Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El better known as Supergirl among DC Comics fans. Recent comments from a Man of Steel producer indicate there's potential for the Last Daughter of Krypton to possibly appear in a sequel.

For those that missed the article, Wal-Mart rewarded those that pre-order blu-ray copies of Man of Steel with a first look at the tie-in prequel comic book written by the film's screenwriter David S. Goyer. But often times, these comic books don't really amount to much and are really nothing more than a one-time cash-grab. But a recent interview with producer Deborah Snyder seems to indicate that's not the case with the Man of Steel's tie-in comic book. When asked about Martian Manhunter rumors, Snyder merely laughed but when pressed about Supergirl, her reaction was entirely different. "...the one thing if you look closely when Henry’s going through the Fortress of Solitude there’s an empty… you know all the bodies… the pods? There’s an empty pod. I’m not going to say what, or if, it means anything but there is an empty pod there," said Snyder. If you've read the Man of Steel tie-in comic book you not only have a good idea of who that pod belongs to but you also know how it got there. If you want to read those spoilers, CLICK HERE. When Snyder was pressed to elaborate on her answer, she didn't offer up much more, "No. [Laughs] I’m not going to say anything but, it’s a thing. It’s a thing. That’s one Easter Egg that, I don’t know. Again, it might not mean anything, [but] it might mean something…"

Moving towards more speculative matters, Canadian songwriter Allison Crowe has a mystery role in Man of Steel that amounted to only one day on set but the exact nature of what she filmed is being kept a closely guarded secret. Did she film a brief cameo as Kara?

Supergirls has such little appeal IMO that I think she's better off being the "plus 1" in others films

I honestly really dont like the idea of supergirl in live action movie, I mean, why would go to see a girl who has the same superpowers as superman? For me I think it will not work, maybe is the reason I didnt like the supergirl movie and I hate smallville.

If they do have Kara cameo in it, I hope it is not Allison Crowe. I don't feel that she has the look.

I think having Super-girl could work in a subsequent Man of Steel movie or a spinoff movie...but I hope to goodness that she is not part of the justice League. It is too redundant to have Superman and Super-girl.

YES!

I knew the prequel would tie in somehow...
I really think that they should hint at it in the first movie, then somehow acknowledge her in the 2nd, and feature Supergirl for a 3rd (after Justice League).

I think it would appeal more to female fans,since there arent any female superhero film adaptions,and plus we get eye candy..dont complain

Heard is an actual good actress and she's gorgeous, but She'll be around 30 by the time the sequel comes out.

Why is "realistic bullshit"?

All 3 Batman movie were both critically acclaimed and box office hits. You can have fantastic elements within a realistic world.

Their approach to Superman looks awesome. Why change?

She could fit in just right, and I am sure her outfit would be similar to Fiora's outfit.

i think it's too soon to bring her in. I mean, i haven't watched MoS yet, but i would assume Superman still needs all kinds of developing before he would normally have to deal with his cousin arriving.
