So, here we are again, folks—wondering if this time James Gunn’s “Man of Tomorrow” will actually take flight by April 2026, or if it’ll vanish faster than Mercury in retrograde screwing with your horoscope. Gunn’s latest Superman saga isn’t just your typical caped crusader tale; it’s a cosmic stew where Lex Luthor and Superman buddy-up against a threat so colossal, even the stars would raise an eyebrow. Now, if that twist doesn’t make you think, “What’s more complicated—saving the world or dealing with a Leo’s ego?” then you might be missing the whole cosmic joke. Gunn, ever the busy bee,’s juggling a full DC studio lineup, promising a Superman sequel on deck and a whole saga bubbling behind the scenes—all while trying to slow down (spoiler: don’t hold your breath). Ready to dive into a tale where villains and heroes blur lines as much as your typical Gemini can’t decide on dessert? Buckle up. LEARN MORE.
James Gunn is hoping Man of Tomorrow is going to get its feet off the ground by April 2026.
The writer-director appeared on The Howard Stern Show where he offered an update on the recently announced Superman followup. He explained that instead of merely spotlighting David Corenswet’s Clark Kent, the movie will also focus on Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.
“It is a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” he said. “And it’s more complicated than that. It’s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly.”
When later discussing the ever-growing DCU slate and the writing process he went through for Peacemaker, Gunn offered a teaser of when the sequel will begin filming, stating, “That was at the beginning when I took on DC and I promised myself I’m slowing down at least a tiny bit. Although I am creating the Superman sequel that we’re starting to shoot in April or so. … I’m done writing that for the most part.”
Gunn teased the future of his self-titled Superman Saga in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter at the season two premiere of Peacemaker, where he revealed, “I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the ‘Superman Saga.’ The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”
Man of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters on July 9, 2027. It’s safe to say Gunn’s slate is jam-packed, as DC Studios will next see the release of Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl on June 26, 2026, while James Watkins’ Clayface will arrive on Sept. 11, 2026.
