Overview

• Gunn posted an image of the second draft’s cover showing an anatomical head highlighting the brain, paired with devil–handshake–angel emojis and the tag #MoT 7.9.27.
• Media and fans read the brain imagery as a nod to Brainiac, though Gunn has issued no formal confirmation and outlets note the tease could be misdirection.
• Man of Tomorrow is dated for July 9, 2027, with David Corenswet returning as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
• Gunn has said the story requires Superman and Lex to cooperate against a “much, much bigger threat,” calling it as much a Lex movie as a Superman movie.
• Trade and fan sites report production could start in April 2026 and suggest Lex’s warsuit and other DCU characters may appear, but those details remain unconfirmed.
