Although it is currently in early development phase, as per rumors, "Man of Steel 2" will release. In "Man of Steel", Superman played by Henry Cavill defeated General Zod. In its sequel, Who will be the new Villian?

Superman is one of the most powerful being in the DC Universe and because of which he has super villains trying to defeat him like Darkseid, Brainiac, etc. But there is no confirmation on who will be the Villain and who will play the role.

Sources suggest that Brainiac might be the new villain to Superman. The rumors surfaced after Man of Steel released in which the World Engine is speculated to have some connection with Brainiac. MoviesNewsGuide stated that the beacon that beeped to alert General Zod is in sync with Brainiac and hence, he is the most probable villain in the upcoming sequel.
Brainiac has been trying to defeat Superman on many instances. As per Justice League Cartoon Series, he almost defeated all of the Justice League including Superman and on another episode, Brainiac along with Darkseid tricked Superman, however, as Superman is the Man of Steel, he escaped once again.

Actors like Kevin Spacey, Idris Elba, James Spader could play the role of Brainiac as per the reports published in MoviesNewsGuide. Although Kevin Spacey had earlier played against Superman as Lex Luthor, it would be a totally different game to watch him playing the role of Brainiac in "Man of Steel 2". Similarly, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" star James Spader who played Ultron might be a good choice for Brainiac as well.

Den of Geeks reported that Dany Garcia, Henry Cavill's Manager said that Henry is indeed interested in "Man of Steel" sequence as a solo lead. The reports escalated that "Man of Steel 2" is currently under development phase at Warner Bros. The movie will release only after the release of "Justice league" which is currently under Filming phase. The Justice League is slated to release on June 14, 2019, and hence, "Man of Steel 2" might release after that or in October 2018 where an unclaimed date exists in the DC Schedule.
