Superman is officially heading back to theaters! James Gunn reveals new details about the upcoming sequel to the smash DC Universe hit.
With the success of Superman at the box office, there was no doubt in any fan’s minds that a sequel was in the works. What fans didn’t expect is how quickly James Gunn would move in this endeavor. Barely weeks after the film hit theaters, the director confirmed that the script for the sequel was basically complete.
While James Gunn was scarce about the details for the Superman follow-up, he did reveal two key details about the sequel in a recent social media post. The first is that it seems Lex Luthor will be donning his iconic green war suit in the film. The second is that the film has a release date much sooner than many fans could have expected, with the DC Universe project hitting silver screens July 9th, 2027.
The Story Of Man Of Tomorrow
The Man of Tomorrow comics are some of the most interesting in Superman’s catalog, especially when considering this project is a spiritual sequel to this year’s film. While there have been multiple runs under the same name, most involve the DC Universe villain Parasite, and Lex Luthor playing a large role in the plot.
Given James Gunn has said Man of Tomorrow isn’t a direct sequel to Superman, but will rather have Superman in a large role, it’s likely that the film will focus on Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. This will likely be an interesting deviation than what fans expected from the DC Universe, giving more focus to one of the most captivating villain performances on the silver screen.
