Sue Kroll, Warner Bros. Pictures President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, noted, "'Man of Steel' is an extraordinary achievement by wonderful talents on both sides of the camera. Zack Snyder, along with his cast and fellow filmmakers, created a story that has connected with audiences of all ages and in every quadrant of the world. We are so proud of the film, which has brought a new vision of the man and the myth to those just discovering Superman, as well as lifelong fans."

Zack Snyder and writer David Goyer will soon present their Man of Steel 2 ideas to Warner Bros. Pictures: "I haven't yet gotten to speak to the studio about all these awesome details (because I've been overseas on the junket). So my hope is, when I get home I can sit down with everyone and it'll be like 'Okay, so what are we going to do?.. we need to do something…'" Snyder said.
