The sequel was announced at 2013 San Diego Comic Con International, after the release of Man of Steel. Snyder and Goyer were both brought back in June 2013. Pre-production began at East Los Angeles College in October 2013, with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit, Michigan.

Dawn of Justice is scheduled to release in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2016, and in the United States on May 6, 2016.

Below is the description of all the characters in the movie:

Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman

A Kryptonian whose parents sent him to Earth as an infant to escape the destruction of his homeworld Krypton. He now serves as the protector of Metropolis and works at the Daily Planet under the alias Clark Kent, after the events of Man of Steel.

Here is the first look of Superman (Henry Cavill) from the movie:

Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman

A billionaire turned crime fighter for Gotham City. This is Affleck's second outing as a comic book superhero, the first being Daredevil in the 2003 namesake film. Josh Brolin had been in discussions for the role prior to Affleck's casting. Director Zack Snyder remarked on the casting, "Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."

 Affleck was initially reluctant to accept the part, saying, "I felt I didn't fit the traditional mold. But once Zack showed me the concept, and that it would be both different from the great movies that Chris[topher Nolan] and Christian [Bale] made, but still in keeping with tradition, I was excited."

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman

Gadot has stated that she has been participating in various training regimens to achieve a body that stays closer to the source material.

Amy Adams as Lois Lane

Reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper and love interest of Clark.

Laurence Fishburne as Perry White

The editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet and the boss to both Clark and Lois.

Diane Lane as Martha Kent

Clark’s adoptive mother.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Snyder called Luthor a "complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman" and "having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions".

Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth

Bruce Wayne's butler, best friend and mentor.
