The sequel to Superman Returns is not to be released any time soon! Superman Returns wasn’t the best Superman movie I’ve seen, but it did have potential, and the sequel could really bring Superman Returns back up to the point where the X-Men movies made a big impact on non-comic readers.

From the source:

With the work stoppage playing havoc with studio slates, Warner’s planned sequel to Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” could be locked up in the Fortress of Solitude for some time.

No screenwriters are on board. “Returns” writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris opted out of penning “Superman: Man of Steel,” and the strike arrived just as other scribes were to pitch ideas. Internally, Warners has moved the release date from 2009 to 2010.

Well, one thing we know is that it will come out eventually.
