The Avengerschanged the way we think about movie franchises by creating a crossover film on a massive scale.
So what kind of movie is it?
According to star Henry Cavill, its not aSupermansequel.
I wouldnt call this a Superman sequel, Cavill toldMTVwhile promoting his spy drama The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
This is Batman versus Superman.

Its a separate entity altogether.
Cavill is landing on the side that this is aJustice Leagueprequel, which is interesting.
The events ofBatman v Supermancant happen withoutMan of Steel, so how is it not a sequel?
Yes, the events ofThe Avengerscant happen without the previous Marvel movies, but thats from multiple films.
Our language of sequels and prequels is getting bent out of sorts.
