In an interview with Canoe.com, 49-years-old Zack said that the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is going to be "Man of Steel 2."
"I think in a way Batman v Superman is Man of Steel 2. Justice League is kind of the transcendent, knights-of-the-round-table of the story. It'd be interesting to think about what a standalone Superman movie might be." Zack added.
