Friday afternoon at the Warner Bros. Pictures Presents panel at Comic-Con, Superman Returns director Bryan Singer announced that while he doesn't have a deal set yet with Warner Bros., he does intend to direct a sequel to Superman Returns, to hit theaters in 2009

As for the story, Singer said that while Superman Returns allowed him to introduce the cast, the sequel would allow him to, “Go Wrath of Khan on it."

Let the weeping and gnashing of teeth begin.

I know we are not supposed to curse on CBR, but there is only one way to describe how I feel. FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I guess you could say I'm moderately ammused by this information.

JOYGASM!

He says there's no deal yet, so WB could back out, but here's hoping...

Hopefully they get someone new to write the scripts and the stories plot. I could go for it if it took place while the little brat was at summer camp so he wouldnt need to be in it. Just have Lois and Clark on a dangerous adventure.

Wonder what Singer means by "Going Wrath of Khan on it"? Does that mean that a character may die or something?

Well I for one cant wait to see what he does with the sequal. Maybe we could see a actual balance of action and drama in the movie instead of less action from the first movie.

Three years from now? They should call "Superman Returns Again."

I took it to mean that having gotten the introductions out of the way he can move into a more action-oriented mode, pretty much what he did with X-Men and X2.

So we have to have another Superman movie???

Sounds like he's admitting that this film merely set up plot threads to be resolved later, as you said like with X-Men. But he delivered little resolution there (and anyway wasn't this supposed to cap Donner's Superman pictures?).

I would prefer a director with a little more visual flair, but I doubt they'll take a risk with the property. Imagine Arronofsky making Supes. Not in this life, but just imagine :D

If Zod somehow makes a return I would like the sequal to be "Zod's Revenge". The story angle Smallville has going with Zod's arrival would have been the perfect way to bring Zod back. Although instead of Lex I would have Zod be resurrected inside Superman's kid.

Have Luthor team up wth a female parasite and the have Doomsdays as one of Luthors labs freak experiments that he lets loose on superman. Or if not Doomsday I think Bizarro could work well too. Nice simple but potentially entertainning plot.
