Overview

• After sharing a script cover featuring a brain X-ray, Gunn told Entertainment Weekly he will “hold off” on revealing what it signifies, declining to confirm Brainiac.
• Gunn says the film is as much Lex Luthor’s story as Superman’s, exploring a more heroic dimension of Lex as the two contend with a “much, much bigger threat.”
• Nicholas Hoult’s brief appearance in Peacemaker season 2 links the series to Man of Tomorrow, and Gunn notes the show’s Earth‑X thread will not carry into the movie.
• David Corenswet returns as Superman alongside Hoult’s Lex in a narrative designed to interconnect across DCU projects.
• Man of Tomorrow is scheduled to open in theaters on July 9, 2027, following Supergirl’s 2026 release as script work and preproduction continue.
