Warner Bros already looking for scriptwriters for a sequel to its 2013 Superman movie!

Warner Bros’s Superman: Man of Steel reboot directed by Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch) and starring Henry Cavill will only wrap filming early in 2012 and has a June 14, 2013 release date.

However the studio is already looking round for script writers for a sequel if latest reports are to be believed.

Among the front runners for the job are Steve Kloves (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the planned Akira remake), Travis Beacham (the upcoming Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans), and Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark).

(Note that no one has been signed on yet though.)

How’s that for optimism?
