Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s major Superman news. Someone tell the Daily Planet! DC Studios boss James Gunn has taken to the platform formerly known as Twitter to confirm what seems to be a Superman sequel – revealing a title Man Of Tomorrow, with a piece of art (from Jim Lee, no less!) featuring Superman, Lex Luthor in a green mech suit, alongside a release date: 9 July 2027. Mark your calendars.
At the time of writing, there’s no additional information to draw from – but it’s probably safe to assume that this will be the next outing for David Corenswet’s Supes, and Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, in a live-action sequel to this summer’s Superman movie. If the title Man Of Tomorrow sounds familiar, it draws from the comics, with a mid-‘90s DC run titled Superman: The Man Of Tomorrow. The name was also used for a 2020 animated movie, Superman: Man Of Tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates on whether the title for this new film – which, again, it’s not yet confirmed but likely will be written and directed by Gunn himself – goes by the full title 'Superman: Man Of Tomorrow', or if it lops off its hero’s name.

Whatever comes next, the prospect of a rematch between Corenswet and Hoult is a tantalising one – and we’ll next see a member of the Super-family in 2026, when Supergirl (formerly know as Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow – they’re a very tomorrow-centric family) hits the big screen on 26 June.
