James Gunn&#8217;s commentary track on the 4K UHD release has got you covered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To recap, the events of Superman concluded with Man of Steel successfully battling Lex Luthor and his henchmen, The Ultraman and The Engineer. While The Ultraman, a clone of Superman, was sucked into a Black Hole, Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda&#8217;s Angela Spica, aka The Engineer, crashed into Metropolis Meteors&#8217; baseball stadium, and her fate was left uncertain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201c[Superman knocked] The Engineer unconscious,&#8221;\u00a0Gunn confirmed in the commentary track.\u00a0&#8220;She&#8217;s out of the movie.

Well, you&#8217;re going to find that out in the next movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As it turns out, The Engineer will join Lex (Nicholas Hoult), who is destined to team up with Superman to fight greater threats in the not-a-direct-sequel film Man of Tomorrow. Wondering who that might be? As a lot of rumours have it, it could be the cybernetic villain Brainiac. While there is no official confirmation yet, the speculation is fueled by an Instagram post by Gunn featuring the now-completed scripts of Man of Tomorrow with an anatomical cross-section of a head on the front page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Man of Tomorrow\u00a0premieres in theaters on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/james-gunn-latest-superman-2-182546372.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: James Gunn\u2019s Latest Superman 2 Tease May Have Confirmed The Villain;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: James Gunn\u2019s Latest Superman 2 Tease May Have Confirmed The Villain<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that James Gunn\u2019s Superman is available on digital platforms, you\u2019ve probably watched the film once or twice, depending on your love for the Man of Steel.
