The $2 billion DCU expansion takes flight

The DC Universe's Superman sequel is set to take place two years after the first film, introducing a new era for the Justice Gang and Superman . this time jump will also afffect another major plot point in the film, as Lex has probably been in prison for two years,developing a prison for metahumans in a pocket dimension.

The concept of Salvation, a planet used as a prison for supervillains, has already been set up in the limited series, and it is likely that the DCU has progressed two years with Salvation in existence .

This means that it could be well-populated with superheroes and supervillains, and when it is seen in the film, it may be very different from when we last saw it in the limited series.

Braniac's return: A threat to the DCU

The film will feature the iconic villain Braniac, played by Lars Eidinger,and it is likely that Superman will face off against this powerful threat.

Braniac's return is a significant development in the DCU , and it will be interesting to see how the character's powers and abilities have evolved since his last appearance.

The DCU's next chapter: What's still unknown

The film's release date is set for 2027, which means that there will be a two-year time gap between the DCU films.

One question that remains unanswered is how the DCU will address the consequences of the first film's events,and how the Justice Gang will have evolved over the past two years .

Another question is how Lex's prison for metahumans in a pocket dimension will fit into the larger narrative of the DCU.
