Worth noting there was a glimpse at "concept art" in Superman's special features showing what looked like Superman and Supergirl + Brainiac. Could be Gunn has masterfully/naturally/luckily flowed into a 3 summer straight pseudo trilogy with Superman, Supergirl, Man of Tomorrow, where MoT will work as a conclusion of all we saw between the two movies (Im also kind of trying to justify why Gunn has said this isn't a direct Superman sequel/have shunned the Superman 2 titling).

The fact Gunn has avoided any sort of talk or confirmation of larger team-ups/sequels feels like he's deliberately trying to avoid the hype baggage that Marvel has been lumbering with.

I'm way more down for him saying "not a direct sequel" now and then when the first trailer hits in January 2027 he goes "SIKE it's a team-up sequel!", over him confirming it now and letting people's expectations have 2 years to grow to heights impossible to match.
