Overview

• Gunn posted the second-draft cover of Man of Tomorrow featuring a brain illustration, a widely read hint toward Brainiac that remains unconfirmed by DC or Gunn.
• Man of Tomorrow is slated for July 9, 2027, with David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult set to return as Superman and Lex Luthor.
• Gunn has said the story centers on Superman and Lex cooperating against a larger enemy, with a greater focus on Lex’s humanity and a less “comic booky” tone than Superman.
• Reports indicate Lex will wear his green-and-purple War Suit, and the film ties into the broader DCU plan, with Peacemaker season 2’s finale described as important setup and Supergirl arriving in 2026.
• Production is expected to begin in 2026, following the newly shared second draft as casting and story specifics continue to take shape.
