Apparently, this isn't actually Superman 2, as reported on SuperHeroHype:

On one of his posts on Threads, where Gunn stated that he was busy with sequel writing, a user named @alexromval asked, “I’m a little confused right now. Is this the same movie you’ve talked about in the past, the one where you said Superman had a major role but wasn’t exactly a sequel? Or is this a different movie, and this one is actually ‘SUPERMAN 2’?”

To this, the veteran filmmaker replied, “Yes, yes, sorry. This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It’s not Superman 2.” Another user asked Gunn if this movie is “not a direct sequel to Superman?” In response, he conveyed that Peacemaker Season 2 is more of a direct sequel to Superman, featuring David Corenswet.

Thank you for clarifying.

How was the last one?

It was the shining beacon of hope that kindness and humanity can ultimately win out that Superman has always stood for.

And it was funny, and the soundtrack was solid.

The most "Superman" that a movie has been, in my opinion.

Cool. Hopefully it won't traumatize me like the first one did when I was a wee lad.

A breath of fresh air for DC to be honest. It definitely feels like a James Gunn film, but if you like that sort of film then you’ll be set.

It sort of feels like the film is jumping in in the middle of a series: no extended backstory sequence for the cast of main heroes, the status quo of Lois & Clark has been established, etc. But I saw this as a positive, because there are only so many times that the Waynes can be shot in an alley on film (as an example, Batman is not in this film).

Superman is probably the most human he has ever felt on film. He is kind, and his focus is on protecting people, not just punching terrorists through walls and threatening people.

I liked it.

Meh. I mean it was good but my personal opinion is superhero movies are going the way of the western. Kinda burnt out from them all.

Gunn needs to do a horror again.
