James Gunn Sets Man of Tomorrow for July 9, 2027 as Next Superman Saga Film

Gunn describes the project as part of his 'Superman Saga,' not a direct sequel to his 2025 reboot.

Overview

  • The writer-director announced the title and date on social media, unveiling new Jim Lee artwork as the first tease.
  • David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult confirmed their returns as Clark Kent and Lex Luthor following the reveal.
  • The teaser shows Lex in his green-and-purple warsuit beside a screwdriver-holding Superman, prompting speculation about their on-screen dynamic without revealing story details.
  • Gunn says he has completed a treatment for the film, with industry reporting pointing to a 2026 production window that has not been officially set.
  • The film arrives after DC Studios’ 2026 releases Supergirl (June 26) and Clayface (Sept. 11), following Superman’s roughly $611 million global box office.
