James Gunn Announces Superman Sequel Man of Tomorrow for 2027

James Gunn has officially announced the sequel to his successful 2025 Superman film, titled Man of Tomorrow, which is set to be released on July 9, 2027. The announcement included new artwork by Jim Lee featuring David Corenswet's Superman and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor in his iconic green and purple armor, suggesting a potential alliance against a larger threat. This sequel will be the fourth feature in Gunn's DC Universe, following upcoming projects like Supergirl and Clayface, with Peacemaker season 2 already released and Lanterns scheduled for early 2026. Man of Tomorrow is expected to build on the foundation of the original film, which earned over $600 million worldwide and revitalized the DC brand after the previous extended universe faltered. Production is anticipated to begin in 2026, with Gunn and co-head Peter Safran continuing their strategy to unify DC films, television, and other media under a cohesive storyline. The new Superman installment aims to further establish the character's central role in the evolving DC Universe.
