The shoot on Man of Tomorrow has wrapped. James Gunn announced the completion of principal photography for the upcoming Superman film after 93 days of shooting. This milestone now opens the post-production phase, ahead of a cinema release set for July 7, 2027 in France and July 9 in the United States.
The production largely set up shop at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Filming also took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in the United Kingdom. James Gunn accompanied the announcement with photos from the set, including one showing Nicholas Hoult after the final take.
Man of Tomorrow picks up right where Superman, James Gunn's 2025 film left off. David Corenswet returns as Clark Kent and Superman, joined by Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
The story will compel Superman and Lex Luthor to put their feud on hold in the face of a greater threat. Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger, steps into the role of the primary antagonist. The full synopsis and how this alliance will form have not yet been revealed.
The title Man of Tomorrow borrows one of Superman's classic epithets from the comics. The film opens a new cinematic chapter in the DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran, following the rollout of this version of the hero and the introduction of several characters who are set to thread between films and series.
James Gunn is overseeing the writing and directing of the film. Although filming is now complete, no trailer or release date for the first footage has been announced yet.
