James Gunn reveals Superman returns to the DCU with 'Man of Tomorrow' — and he's bringing an unlikely ally

David Corenswet as the new Superman.

"Superman" hasn't even left theaters yet — though you can now stream the DCU movie at home. But that hasn't stopped DC Studios co-CEO and "Superman" writer/director James Gunn from already moving onto the next phase in the "Super-Family" saga. Yes, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is coming early next year, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El. However, her cousin is officially returning to the silver screen in 2027.

In an Instagram post, Gunn announced that "Man of Tomorrow" will premiere in theaters on July 9, 2027. The announcement didn't reveal much more than the title and release date, though it seems likely that the movie will feature at least Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the titular Man of Tomorrow. The image by DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee shows Luthor and Superman side by side, with Superman seemingly already thwarting Lex's next nefarious plan.
