Brandon Routh has indicated that there’s going to be more rock-em sock-em action in the sequel to Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns:
Its going to be a lot more in that genre. In the first one, the obstacle was Supermans love for Lois and his son, and Luthor using that against him. I just know that in the next film there will be a lot of action and Im gonna get to fight something, or someone. An enemy with real physical power might be worked in there, definitely.
This is probably due to the rather disappointing box-office returns for Returns, which were no where near the level of Batman Begins, let alone the big Marvel properties. A real super-villain for Superman to fight is cool with me, as long as it isn’t the Nuclear Man again. General Zod and crew would be OK, but I’d rather they pull someone else out of Superman’s rogues gallery. How about Darkseid? That would make for an epic fight.
