David Corenswet injured in snow in James Gunn's Superman credit to Warner Bros Pictures UK

With Superman soaring through the box office, DC Studios has wasted little time preparing the Man of Steel for his next adventure.

After the success of the David Corenswet-led film, writer/director James Gunn is back at the helm for the sequel entitled Man of Tomorrow. Alongside Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult is also expected to return as Lex Luthor. The announcement came from Gunnโ€™s social media on Wednesday, Deadline reports. The filmmaker shared an image of both Superman and Luthor drawn by Jim Lee to break the news. The image features Luthor in his Warsuit, perhaps hinting at the villainโ€™s sinister development.

With Superman grossing over $600 million since its release, the sequelโ€™s announcement this soon should come as no surprise.

When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire and master deceiver Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good. Will the Daily Planetโ€™s intrepid reporter Lois Lane, together with the aid of Metropolisโ€™s other metahumans and Supermanโ€™s own four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help Superman before Luthor can completely destroy him?ย 

Although 2027 isnโ€™t far away, fans wonโ€™t have to wait long to return to Gunnโ€™s DCU. Supergirl is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026. If things go to plan, Gunn will follow up with Clayface on September 11, giving fans plenty to chew on before Man of Tomorrow.

Man Of Tomorrow is set for July 9th, 2027. Superman is available to rent and download now.
