Superman II is the 1980 sequel to 1978's Superman: The Movie. Both of these films were filmed simultaneously, but production conflicts led to director Richard Donner departing from the sequel and the movie was completed with new scenes under the direction of Richard Lester. In 2006, Richard Donner and editor Michael Thau collaborated to restore as much of Donner's original vision as possible with newly discovered footage.
