Frenemy alert: Lex Luthor and Superman may have a different dynamic in ‘Man of Tomorrow’

After becoming one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters and inspiring all of us to be a little bit more punk rock, the story of DC Studios’ Superman movie is nowhere near slowing down. The second season of Peacemaker is currently being touted as a direct follow-up to the events of the film, and we still have the Milly Alcock-led Supergirl movie on the horizon for the summer of 2026.

For months, Superman writer, director, and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn had teased the next follow-up… not quite a proper sequel, but a movie featuring David Corenswet’s take on Clark Kent / Superman. And last week, we got the first official confirmation of what that will entail: a new film titled Man of Tomorrow, accompanied by a trio of art pieces from comic legends Jim Lee, Mitch Gerads, and Jorge Jimenez. The art showed Superman and Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor (now decked out in his comic-accurate warsuit) in poses ranging from adversarial to a bit more friendly… and apparently, that dynamic will carry over to the movie itself.
