James Gunn Says 'Man of Tomorrow' Centers on Lex and Superman, Sets July 9, 2027 Release

Gunn describes a more character-driven sequel that ties directly into Peacemaker season 2.

Overview

  • The Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow is confirmed for July 9, 2027, with Gunn saying the script has been "much much much easier" and "so fun" to write.
  • Gunn says the story pairs Lex Luthor and Superman against a larger threat and frames the film as "as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie."
  • He plans to probe Lex's humanity, calling something about the character "incredibly heroic" despite his moral flaws.
  • Gunn signals a tonal shift, noting Man of Tomorrow will be less "comic booky" and anchored by the dual focus on Lex and Clark.
