Overview

• Gunn told Howard Stern the story pairs Superman and Lex Luthor against a much larger threat, noting the dynamic is more complex than a simple alliance.
• Principal photography is expected to begin around April 2026, according to Gunn.
• Warner Bros. has dated the film for July 9, 2027, two years after Superman launched the new DCU.
• Gunn said he wrote the script and is in ongoing rewrites, praising Nicholas Hoult’s Lex and emphasizing the film’s Lex-centric focus.
• Gunn reiterated it is not a straightforward Superman 2, with Peacemaker season 2 described as very connected yet still watchable on its own; promo art also points to Lex’s iconic Warsuit and returns for David Corenswet and Hoult are widely expected but not formally confirmed.
