MOS 2: Supes & Bats Will Go To Motor City

The Michigan Film Office reports that the upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel will shoot in Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime in the first quarter of 2014


The Hollywood Reporter says that the city will stand in for Metropolis--or perhaps even Gotham City
(or both).

 According to THR, "the production is expected to hire 406 Michigan workers, with a full time equivalent of 426 jobs, plus an additional 6,000 man/days of extra work. … The production estimated the use of 500 local Michigan vendors and spending $5.1 million on hotels."


MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.

There are reports that suggest that the chatter about "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the pic is true. It's said that Cranston's deal could see him appearing in at least six films (and as many as 10) as the criminal genius according to the report. It adds that Warner Bros. is apparently waiting for the Sept. 29 series finale of Breaking Bad to air before making a formal announcement.

"Man Of Steel" director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer will also be back--as will Christopher Nolan to executive produce the film,

Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.

The studio will also shoot the movie in Toronto in 2014 to meet its release on July 17, 2015
