James Gunn confirms real-time jump for Man of Tomorrow as he clarifies the DCU timeline

David Corenswet as Superman in James Gunn's Superman.

James Gunn has confirmed when the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow is set, giving us some much-needed clarity on the DCU timeline.

When a fan asked the DC Studio head, "How long after Superman (2025) will Man of Tomorrow take place?" Gunn replied on Instagram Threads, "Basically real time." He later clarified, "Real time like summer 2027," meaning the time between the two movies hitting the big screen in Summer 2025 and Summer 2027 is more or less the same amount of time that has passed in Metropolis.
