Superman director/DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has confirmed that Man of Tomorrow, his sequel to the summer blockbuster, will begin filming soon. And what's more, he's confirmed that the movie will indeed feature Superman and Lex Luthor teaming up against a villain that threatens them both.
"It's gonna be out in two years, July 9, 2027, which is a relatively a short time between sequels, because we knew immediately where we were going," Gunn tells Howard Stern on his Sirius XM talk show. "And it is a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together, to a certain degree, against a much, much bigger threat. 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 Luthor, sadly."
