Overview

• The film is slated for July 9, 2027, with Gunn writing and directing and David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult returning.
• Promotional art by Jim Lee, Mitch Gerads and Jorge Jiménez shows Lex Luthor in his green-and-purple armor, indicating an on-screen power upgrade.
• In DC Comics, the warsuit provides flight, enhanced strength and durability, energy blasts and force-field protection to let Lex challenge Superman.
• Gunn has said it is not a direct “Superman 2,” and reporting points to the possibility of a greater narrative focus on Lex Luthor.
• Positioned in the DCU slate after Supergirl in 2026, the project will connect to Peacemaker season 2, which Gunn has described as a prelude.
