Now that the WGA strike is over, it seems Superman: Man of Steel--the sequel to Superman Returns---is back in business for director Bryan Singer. The director updated the status to Empire Online where he mentions the script development is beginning right now. He also reconfirmed earlier quotes of this sequel being more of an action film centering on the world of the DC superhero.
"But, yes, I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel...with the intention of directing it."
Singer knows that there was some negative reaction to the fact that the first film focused more on story at the expense of action and is looking to redress that next time.
“The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film,” he says. “I’ll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there’s really an opportunity to up the threat levels.."
