Speaking to MTV, Nelson said that the newly-formed firm and its parent Warner Bros are not looking to make a new Man of Steel film in the near future.
"We actually don't have any current plans for Superman," Nelson said. "We've obviously done a lot of great things behind the property in our history, and it's a key part of the family, but we don't have current plans behind Superman."
The character, portrayed by Christopher Reeve, appeared in four movies in the late '70s and '80s. The franchise was resurrected in 2006's Superman Returns with Bryan Singer directing Brandon Routh in the title role.
The Superman property is currently embroiled in a copyright battle between co-creator Jerry Siegel's estate and Warner Bros and DC Comics.
