James Gunn Says 'Man of Tomorrow' Is a Two-Lead Story for Superman and Lex Luthor

Gunn signals a distinct follow-up shaped by lessons from Superman, with Peacemaker threads adding context without becoming homework.

Overview

  • Man of Tomorrow is set for a July 9, 2027 theatrical release.
  • Gunn emphasizes the sequel will differ in tone and approach from Superman and will center on both Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.
  • He says experiments with filming flight in Superman taught lessons he will apply to designing Man of Tomorrow’s action sequences.
  • Gunn notes Nicholas Hoult’s Lex-related storyline is incredibly important to the rest of Peacemaker season 2 and to the film, yet viewers won’t need to watch the series to understand the movie.
  • Speculation about Brainiac followed a script-page tease, but no villain or casting is confirmed, and Chukwudi Iwuji says he has no links to the role while expressing interest.
