What You Need to Know
According to James Gunn's recent comments, 'Man of Tomorrow' will give Lex Luthor just as much attention as Superman, indicating a more nuanced and well-rounded storyline. Nicholas Hoult will return as the mysterious Lex Luthor, and David Corenswet will play Superman once more. As Superman and Luthor face "a much, much bigger threat" that goes beyond their typical conflict, Gunn hinted that the plot might center on their alliance. Expect conflict, moral ambiguity, and character arcs that examine what it means to be praised like Superman and criticized like Luthor; their alliance isn't straightforward.

Adding to the intrigue, the promotional art, which depicts Superman in an uneasy cooperative pose and Luthor in his iconic powered suit, heightens the mystery by implying ideological and personal problems. The movie promises to go deeper into the characters' personalities, revealing not only their strengths and struggles but also their weaknesses and motivations, adding depth to the narrative in ways that fans will be excited to see.
Production & Release Timeline
Regarding production, James Gunn stated that Man of Tomorrow's story treatment is complete and that production will start in April 2026. To guarantee that the picture lives up to the high standards set by the last film and the fan base, this schedule allows enough time for a complex filming process, substantial post-production work, and meticulous planning. On 9th July, 2027, the sequel is expected to make its theatrical debut.
In order to further establish continuity within the expanding DC Universe, it is anticipated that additional characters from the 2025 Superman movie will make a comeback in addition to Corenswet and Hoult.
