I could image Abrams doing a Man of Steel sequel that takes place mostly not on earth. Not a very inspired director choice, but that he could be a really good fit. Not going to happen though.

If Warners is smart Supergirl will be a high school student in this version and take advantage of that teenage angle, as well as differentiate it from the TV versions. It would also avoid the issue of referring to a twenty-something working woman as a "girl".

Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros., sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Though neither side is confirming, the British actor, who first donned the blue suit for 2013's Man of Steel, and then starred in 2016's Batman v. Superman and last year's Justice League, is said to be hanging up the red cape.
Warners had been trying to enlist Cavill, who most recently co-starred in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, for a Superman cameo in Shazam!, which stars Zachary Levi and will bow April 5. But contract talks between Cavill's WME reps and Warners broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances.
That's because the studio has shifted its focus to a Supergirl movie, which will be an origin story featuring a teen superheroine. This effectively removes an actor of Cavill's age from the storyline's equation given that Superman, aka Kal-El, would be an infant, according to DC lore.
Furthermore, Warners isn't likely to make a solo Superman film for at least several years, according to another source. "Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors," says a studio source. As such, Cavill will join Ben Affleck, who isn't expected to reprise his role for director Matt Reeves' forthcoming Batman stand-alone film, as a hero on the way out.
Depressing cuz I feel like if BvS and Justice League were better films both he and Affleck would have stayed
God, WW deserves better than this
The continuity is gonna be fucked now
Whatever, he's moving onto objectively better things anyway.

Wonder Woman can still work as its own contained story. It doesn't have to connect with the other movies.
But yeah, I would like to see DCEU be overhauled and cancelled. While admittedly I did enjoy the movies so far except for Suicide Squad and Justice League, it really can't go on like this.
Now we patiently wait for Allstar's obnoxious posts about this subject and for him to bring it up in unrelated film conversations for the next year.

Geez DC. What a clusterfuck, yo.
Man of Steel 2 should have been made before any of the other crap they've done.
I don't know why they stalled so much on MoS2. MoS was a decent movie, could have been improved for sure. An interesting thesis was set up in MoS and BvS was certainly not the correct way to follow through with it and expand on it.
Reboot.
Wow,what a comical disaster the DCEU has been.
