Both the director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S Goyer will return for part two of the saga as Goyer has a three part deal with the studio that comprises of two standalone Superman films and inclusion in one Justice League film. However, Christopher Nolan, the genius behind the latest Batman films, will not have as central a role in this Superman sequel.
