Warner Bros. has announced the official title of the Man of Steel sequel. The film will be called Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Principal photography began today on the highly anticipated movie, which Man of Steel’s Zack Snyder is directing. Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck star as Clark Kent/Superman and Bruce Wayne/Batman, respectively. According to a studio press release, Gal Gadot also stars as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane return from Man of Steel. Warners also confirms that Jesse Eisenberg will play Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons is Alfred, and Holly Hunter is taking up “a role newly created for the film.”

Obviously the Dawn of Justice title is a reference to the birth of the JLA, or the Justice League, The DC Comics equivalent of The Avengers. As we’ve learned over the past 10 months or so that characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg were joining Man of Steel 2, it has becoming increasingly clear that the film would be a launching pad for a team movie featuring the JLA. And now this title all but confirms that.

Shooting will take place at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios and on location in and around Detroit, Michigan, as well as in Illinois, Africa, and the South Pacific. The film opens on May 6, 2016.
