DC Studios Confirms Superman Sequel Man of Tomorrow for July 2027

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has officially announced the sequel to the 2025 film "Superman," titled "Man of Tomorrow," with a release date set for July 9, 2027. The film will see the return of David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, who is depicted wearing his battle armor, hinting at a significant role for the villain. Rachel Brosnahan is also expected to reprise her role as Lois Lane. "Man of Tomorrow" is part of Gunn's larger plan for the DC Universe, following a strong box office performance and critical reception of the first film, and will be released after the "Supergirl" and "Clayface" films in 2026. The sequel is considered part of the "Gods & Monsters" chapter of the DCU and may or may not draw from previous "Man of Tomorrow" comic storylines or the 2020 animated movie of the same name. The announcement was accompanied by artwork from DC Comics president Jim Lee and longtime colorist Alex Sinclair, solidifying the film's position within the evolving DC cinematic slate.
