In the video below, Max Landis reveals what his take would be on a Man of Steel sequel. It picks up straight after the first movie and obviously doesn't take Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice into account, but it makes for a very interesting watch. Here's the gist of it though; the sequel would have picked up with a Clark Kent who has given up being Superman (now widely despised by the public) because he's suffering from PTSD following his battle with General Zod. Before leaving Metropolis for good, Clark has one final assignment for The Daily Planet: interview Lex Luthor.
Following the reveal that the billionaire knows that Clark Kent is Superman, Lex (Tom Hanks) would offer to repair his damaged reputation in return for the hero capturing the world's most dangerous metahumans. Despite warnings from Batman, Superman rounds up the likes of Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow, and Martian Manhunter, only to then discover the villain's true plan; he wants to assemble a team of superhumans to take over the world. Sounds pretty cool, eh? Oh, and James Cameron would direct the film! Listen to the full pitch by watching the video below.
