Yesterday, HeroicHollywood reported that Brainiac would be the villain in Man of Steel 2 but now – they have details. There could be some potential spoilers here, including a very surprising appearance from a big DC character. Here’s the run down of the report:
Yesterday I reported that the Man Of Steel sequel isn’t on permanent hold, George Miller MAY still take a crack at it, the film will happen in the next few years, and Braniac will most likely be the villain.
Due to the secretive nature surrounding the entire DCEU, the following is UNCONFIRMED hence the rumor status, however is within the realm of possibility.
I found out what Brainiac is after.
Remember in Man of Steel how Superman had the genetic codex of the entire Kryptonian race that General Zod was after? Well, it looks like Brainiac would be after the same thing. However, he is not trying to retrieve the codex from Superman. You see folks there was another Kryptonian survivor.
KARA ZOR-EL
Yes folks, SUPERGIRL!
In the prequel comic before the release of Man Of Steel, David Goyer scripted that Kara Zor-El was the most promising daughter of the House of El. The prequel comic told Kara’s story as she nears completion of her training. She intended to become a member of Krypton’s ‘Explorers Guild’; citizens tasked with searching the cosmos for suitable planets, and triggering terraforming projects to make them inhabitable to Kryptonians.
The idea has always been the sequel will introduce Supergirl and will focus on her as much as on Superman himself. In fact, this is what supposedly got George Miller’s attention in the first place. He is attracted to strong female protagonists as shown in Mad Max: Fury Road by its co-star Charlize Theron as Furiosa.
Brainiac wants the codex from Kara and get this, from the bits of Kryptonian knowledge Brainiac does have creates Bizarro!
This basic plotline is supposedly what Zack Snyder and David Goyer pitched to Warner brass afterMan Of Steel was done as a sequel idea.
The writer notes that this is all unconfirmed, so take it with a grain of salt. I’m not sure what to say about it, but it seems a little far-fetched to me. Who knows, though? I guess as with anything like this, we just have to wait and see.
