Sources claim earlier that Warner Bros would be revealing the sequel to the 2013 Henry Cavill-starrer this month. However, allegedly, the supposed announcement has been delayed due to the underwhelming box-office performance of "Justice League," which features the return of Cavill as Superman.

Apart from the speculations on when "Man of Steel 2" will be officially announced, it is also suspected that the movie may be released in 2020. Hence, it is possible for the sequel to arrive along with "Flashpoint," and even "Suicide Squad 2" as both movies don't have their respective release dates yet.
However, this does not mean that Cavill and Superman fans will have to wait that long before they can see the Kryptonian superhero on the big screen again. According to sources, Cavill is reprising his Superman role for next year's "Shazam" movie. While it is unclear what relevance the character will have in the story if ever he is, indeed, appearing for a cameo, it is believed that he will serve as a role model superhero to Billy Batson (Asher Angel).
While the rumors claiming that "Man of Steel 2" will be announced soon are nothing short of exciting, fans are advised to take everything with a grain of salt for now until the supposed reveal happens.
However, critics and fans alike agree that, of all the flaws that "Justice League" had, it can't be denied that it finally got Superman right after depicting him as a dark and serious superhero in "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." Hence, it won't really be surprising if Warner Bros gives in to the clamor of the fans and make "Man of Steel 2" a reality.
