'Metallo' Would Have Been The Main Villain Of A MAN OF STEEL Sequel

I wonder who Callan Mulvey is playing..

@Niklander

Could be..

it should hae been him zod was asss this is flame war ready

Bring Nuclear Man! Or Zod! Or at least Richard Pryor...

Mettallo is a formidable foe but I'd rather see Braniac first in the Supes sequel.

A Superman solo sequel remains my most anticipated DC movie.

Yeah, let the TERMINATOR series gurgle its last breath's before introducing a robot covered in flesh.

They'll probably use Metallo here and save Brainiac for the Superman solo

No need to use a Superman villain for Justice League

AKA Terminator.

WB plan to postpone Man of Steel sequel and give us BvS movie instead seems like a very good plan. I guess they knew there is a risk MOS2 won't make as much money as MOS and even if it does it won't be a smashing box office hit.

As far as the individual character is concerned, this is not a Superman sequel," explained Henry Cavill. "It's more of an introduction to Batman, an opening to Justice League, and an expansion of the world that was created in Man of Steel." -

i guess Cavill clariy that one. It's more like a spinoff movie.

Metallo as the villain for sequel ? Guess we would have two villains (Lex and Metallo) in that movie. Kinda bland way to go if you ask me.

I'm hard.

@gentlemanlybatman if you are hoping for superman to ever become a big time box office draw like spider-man, batman, or more recently iron man I wouldn't hold my breath. The character while no doubt iconic is just not well designed to sell and the dark and gritty direction that Snyder has gone with him might actually make him an even harder sell to audiences. The truth of the matter is that when Snyder removed the more light and hopeful elements from the story, he cut right into the core audience for superman which is families, specifically those with kids. Any direct sequels to Man of Steel will probably top out at the kind of money The Winter Soldier made and that's if they get stellar reviews.

@jamesmann yeah man of steel grossed higher than the previous ones but that owed a lot to the superhero hype train post avengers and because no one was sure what they were getting. At the end of the day though reactions to Man of Steel were definitely mixed. I know people who hate it and I know people who love it and the numbers are about equal. This take on superman is controversial, there's no denying that. And as far as the spider-man comparison he is the most marketable and profitable super hero in existence bar none. Spider-mans overall revenue from films, merchandise, and comics over the last four years dwarfs batman and superman combined. A bad spider-man movie, with no positive buzz made nearly 800 million. If the marvel sony collaboration works the fist movie will Probably easily clear a billion. And as far as kids finding superman lame I honestly feel like it's the other way around. Kids love him but he doesn't tend to resonate as much with a lot of adults. The problem then arises that when you take such a popular character and write him into a corner where he ahs to graphically snap someones neck on screen that you risk alienating and scarring a large portion of that child audience because you've removed the hope, light heartedness, and boy scouty qualities they associate with the characters. I don't hate man of steel and I wasn't super upset about the neck snap. It's just not a movie I felt compelled to watch again after the first time.

So is Batman V Superman NOT a man of steel sequel?

Yup then im3 tws and gotg blew mos out water at the box office
