Brightburn, the horror film with an evil Superman-like character, might be getting a sequel after all. The film arrived in theaters in 2019 to mixed reviews, including a measly 57% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Regardless, it was a modest hit at the global box office with a $32.9 million gross against a $6-12 million budget.

More importantly, Brightburn's relative success paved the way to talks of a potential sequel and a cinematic universe. Unfortunately, neither came to fruition. At least, until now.

A few days ago, Deadline revealed that Brightburn 2 is still in development. The H Collective, which produced the film is launching a new company named H3 Entertainment that will take over the development of Brightburn 2.

What's more? H3 Entertainment will make use of new technologies - Metaverse, Web3, and AI - in its filmmaking.

Given the controversy AI has caused in the filmmaking industry in recent times, this decision is interesting, to say the least. Fortunately, Mark Rau and Kent Huang, The H Collective's founders, seem willing to incorporate the technologies in a conscientious way starting with a promise to "respect professionals and fans while promoting responsible technology integration."
