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, and it marks the proper kickoff to the DCU franchise.

While there are multiple DCU movies and TV shows being developed by DC Studios, many are wondering what the future for Corenswet’s Superman is going to be following his 2025 movie introduction. With Superman being one of the central heroes of the DC brand, the Man of Steel is bound to be back 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 said, “I’m already under contract for a sequel.” As of right now, there is no official Superman 2 sequel in the works 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, it will likely not be announced for some time, as DC Studios needs to see how Gunn’s film does at the worldwide box office. However, the fact that Corenswet is already signed on for another Superman installment is positive, as this means he is most likely contracted for a multi-picture deal, which is very common for big franchises like DC.

Once Superman’s box office tallies are solidified, that will determine if Superman 2 happens, but it also depends on whether Gunn already has a story in mind for a sequel. It’s also possible that fans may see Corenswet’s Superman in other DCU projects before a hypothetical Superman 2.

Our Take On David Corenswet’s Superman Sequel Update

Hearing Corenswet confirming that he is locked in for more DCU projects is exciting, especially after seeing how well-received his introduction has been in Superman. Based on the positive reviews and box office projections that have emerged thus far, Superman 2 is more than likely to come to fruition.

So it’s more about when Superman 2 will happen rather than if, as there are factors to take into account. Gunn has made it clear that DC Studios will not rush a project until there is a finalized script in place, which also applies to Superman 2.

The last thing the DCU needs after Superman, especially if it ends up being a mᴀssive hit, is a rushed sequel that will undo the hard work that Gunn has put into the DCU so far. Hopefully, if Superman 2 happens, the same care that was put into Superman will be applied to the sequel.
