Which film will we see first? Man of Steel 2 or Justice League: Snyder Cut

I don't think we'll ever see a film actually called Man of Steel 2 but I do think we'll see a second Supes solo before a Snyder cut of JL appears (if it ever does).

Man of Steel 2, because “BvS was Man of Steel 2.” jk

Man of Steel 2 only because there’s no way WB will ever, ever release the “Snyder Cut.” MOS 2 is much closer to happening, even though I don’t think it’s that likely at this point, simply because there were talks and some level of interest. Aside from fanboys, there is absolutely no interest from anyone in WB in releasing the pre-Whedon version of JL.

The Trench Begins

 

[StarLord]

I it's a reboot...

Sorry, I meant hope.

[FunkMiller]

Neither.

There’s never going to be a Snyder cut, because why would they bother at this stage? The film came out 15 months ago, and only a small number of people really want it.

MoS 2 won’t happen either, because it’s clear they’re moving beyond Snyder. Cavill is happily off playing Geralt and won’t be back. As soon as WB find a Matt Reeves equivalent, they’ll do exactly what they’ve done with Batman and soft reboot.

Wait, when did the Neither option get added?

I honestly think a reboot would be best at this point. Whether we like it or not, Cavill’s been Superman in three films already, and even if he gets a fourth, he’s not likely to get many more after that. Best to reboot so Superman can get some better footing with hopefully a better approach than what we’ve gotten with Snyder, Singer and Donner.

 

[David H.]

Superman Lives.

 

[MbJ]

Neither. We’ll get another’s Superman movie at some point, but it’s not gonna be called Man of Steel 2, and it’s looking increasingly likely there will be at least some recasts and likely a soft reboot.

Man of Steel 2 will happen - eventually, though it may not be with Cavil (so does that mean it wouldn't even be Man of Steel 2?) We're never going to see Snyder's Justice League cut. We'd have seen it by now if it was ever going to be a thing. Time to move on and let that idea rest.

This is where I am at as well.

 

[The Joker]

Honestly neither interests me.

I could accept a soft reboot, but a full reboot? That'll ruin any chance of seeing the current ensemble (characters) on screen together. You can't fully reboot Batman or Superman without erasing the events that have led up to Wonder Woman and Aquaman (and likely Shazam).

It would be wise (I think) for WB to keep continuity. A recasting doesn't have to change that. Prequel Batman films don't need to focus on anything we've seen already, and sequel Batman/Superman films don't need to include the other characters, though I am very hopeful of seeing a sequel to Justice League at some point. If Marvel can successfully assemble the Avengers, then WB can successfully assemble the Justice League.

 

[Boom]

A big, fat "Neither."

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Neither. We will get another Superman film, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a reboot similar to what they are already doing with Batman. If I had to choose, I would say the Snyder Cut is more likely just because they wouldn't have to do a new film from scratch and there is some precedent with the Donner Cut of SMII. I also don't know how complete Snyder's version of the film was. A complete or near complete cut of the film might have a chance, but there would be no chance if it required a lot of work to finish. I don't think either is likely though.

Well, first, I think the chances of seeing the current ensemble together are very slim, unless Shazam does very well AND there’s a General will between I guess Safran and Patty’s producers to do a team-up/crossover. WB’s been quite clear that they aren’t prioritizing team-ups or the shared universe.

Second, I think Batman is basically going to be rebooted with Reeve’s film, the same way Patty did a quick reverse course on Wonder Woman’s history and motivations in her film. By going earlier and not having Affleck, that’s exactly what he’s doing. He too isn’t likely to do any sort of team up.

Third, the way they would likely do a reboot without scrapping the others is simply by setting Superman in his own universe. That’s the most likely outcome. That way, Cavill’s Superman would still presumably exist in the main DCEU (same as Affleck’s Batman), but he just won’t be shown ever.

I'd agree; they aren't, but they're going to have to address the Justice League at some point.

Is it a reboot if it's also a prequel? What's to say a prequel couldn't lead into the present? All depends when it's set really. The ret-con Patty did with Wonder Woman was loose enough that it didn't affect the bigger picture as far as the DCEU went.

Third, the way they would likely do a reboot without scrapping the others is simply by setting Superman in his own universe. That’s the most likely outcome. That way, Cavill’s Superman would still presumably exist in the main DCEU (same as Affleck’s Batman), but he just won’t be shown ever.

I'd say it's better off to just recast, and continue rather than another reboot.

Alternatively, continue on this current path and focus on the solo films with the odd team up if they dare, and then recast everyone and have a stand alone Justice League Trilogy with heroes that are already established. A veteran league (of sorts); a bunch of guys and girls that have been working together as partners for a period of time and they're called upon once again to defend the Earth. There's no (specific) reason that Gal & Jason can't reprise their roles here either if they really wanted too. It would just be an elseworld story (of sorts).

Neither, a Superman movie will be a soft reboot, with a new title, and Snyder Cut ain't happening unless you have an actual time machine to rescue the footage before it's destruction.

Josh Trank's original cut of Fant4stic.

 

[psylockolussus]

Both films aren't gonna see the day of light. Man of Steel 2 is dead imo and who needs a Snyder Cut after that colossal disaster that was BvS? Well I don't.

 

[Erzengel]

The Snyder Cut in some form.

MOS2 means that they will continue on from the original. Making a movie called Superman, Man of Tomorrow, Last Son of Krypton, I wouldn't necessarily count. I think DC/WB has decided to move away from the four DC movies (MOS, BvS, SS & JL) [See Variety saying that SS2 will have no real connection to the original.]

 

[Nemeres]

I would've expected the Snyder Cut a few years down the line, when it didn't threaten people's perception of WB's future plans... if more people were asking for it. The contingent of fans that want it passionately doesn't seem to have numbers that would make it a massive money-maker, and even some of those folks are likely to lose their fire for it as time goes on. For the people outside of it, it's mostly a mention here, a joke there.

 

[The Joker]

Josh Trank's original cut of Fant4stic.

I would honestly have more interest in seeing that, although that's not saying much.
