The title Man of Tomorrow nods to one of Superman's enduring nicknames in DC Comics. After Superman, due out in 2025, James Gunn is pressing ahead with the rollout of his shared universe, built around several major figures from DC Comics.
The first image released for the film spotlights Lex Luthor, a key clue to the direction of this sequel. The character played by Nicholas Hoult is set to take a central stand opposite Superman, in a narrative that extends their clash while hinting at a more nuanced dynamic between the two.
The detailed official synopsis for Man of Tomorrow has not yet been released. Early information, however, indicates the film will welcome back Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, while continuing the stakes of the new DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
This sequel could appeal to viewers who watched the 2025 Superman and want to see how James Gunn is shaping his take on the hero. At this stage, it’s less aimed at those seeking a complete plot or a detailed trailer: the film is still in production, and several major elements haven’t been publicly confirmed yet.
With a French release date set for July 7, 2027, Man of Tomorrow is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated superhero blockbusters. The film is also expected to clarify Superman’s place in the new DC Universe, as other characters from that universe continue to be developed on both the big and small screens.
