Deals for a sequel to Man of Steel, which opens this week, are already in place, according to Deadline.  Zack Snyder will return to direct, and David Goyer will once again write the script as part of his three-picture deal that covers Man of Steel, the sequel, and Justice League. 

The only uncertain major player is producer Christopher Nolan, who may take a less active role on the sequel, according to the report. 

Lots of footage has been flowing for the film (see "Smallville Battle Scenes in 'Man of Steel' Clip").  We include the final trailer here.
