Appartently Superman Returns 2 will start filming in March 2008 so expect it to be released in summer 2009. In a interview with Empire Brandon Roath said that the sequel would have more action:
" It's going to be a lot more in that genre. In the first one, the obstacle was Superman's love for Lois and his son, and Luthor using that against him. I just know that in the next film there will be a lot of action and I'm gonna get to fight something, or someone. An enemy with real physical power might be worked in there, definitely."
There are rumours about Zod being in the sequel!

I notice in the Richard Doner version of Superman 2 that Zod and chums don't die..... so could they come back, following the Doner theme????

From what i have read over the last few months the sequel is called Superman: man of steel and should be out in summer 2009. Little else is known about it other than it will be more action orientated, the main baddie will be alien/or have superpowers and Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor will be back (i presume in a smaller role).
Also i just read today on a site called mania, that a Justice League film is in development and that may mess up plans for a superman sequel becasue it is set to feature the man of steel and it is hoped to be released in 2009

This was on Dark Horizons about the Justice League film and the possible delay to the Superman Returns sequel:
"When word that Warners was rushing forward with development on their "Justice League" movie, speculation soon arose that the "Superman Returns" sequel would be delayed or cancelled.
The studio quickly denied this, and it has been confirmed that scribes Mike Dougherty, Dan Harris and Director Bryan Singer have been working on a script follow-up to last year's Supes film.
Now IESB.Net says that Kiernan and Michele Mulroney's script for the 'Justice' movie has been received and highly praised by the studio who want "the film to be the launching point for The Flash, Wonder Woman, The Green Lantern and Aquaman as well as rejuvenate Superman."
They even add that production would begin as soon as the first quarter of 2008, to avoid the pending writer's strike, in time for a Summer 2009 theatrical release. If true, then what does that mean for the "Superman" sequel?
Also speculation continues about casting as both Batman and Superman are key figures in the script - will Bale and Routh's contracts (both are signed for three films as their characters) fall under this agreement?"

Do you think they will recast Lois Lane? Kate Bosworth was terrible.
Agreed. Not a bad actress, just not suitable for the Lois Lane role. While they're at it, should recast Perry White too. And come to think of it, Brandon Routh was no great shakes himself. Hope he beefs up and takes some acting lessons before they start to lens the The Man of Steel (which I hear is the title).

Here is some news about superman returns sequel from dark horizons:
"X2" and "Superman Returns" scribes Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have opted not to come back and pen a sequel to last year's 'Superman' with Warners now taking pitches from other writers reports Variety.
The "Superman" film franchise's future is presently in a kind of limbo state thanks to the impending Hollywood production strike, Director Bryan Singer's busy schedule, the upcoming and much further along "Justice League" movie (which has Superman as a major character), and the lukewarm critical and box-office reaction to 'Returns'.
As a result there's industry talk that, much like the upcoming "The Incredible Hulk" with Ed Norton, the studio plans to start afresh - basically ignoring the last film to start a whole new continuity.
The studio however has denied such plans, saying the next would be a sequel with Brandon Routh returning. Either way Legendary Pictures will be back to co-develop and co-finance the project.
The delay means the project would certainly not go into production until 2009 at the earliest - making a Summer 2010 release seem the obvious choice to give the studio a revolving cycle of Summer superhero films (Batman 2 in 2008, Justice League in 2009, Superman 2 in 2010, Batman 3 in 2011, etc.)"
