Superhero fatigue is something that every big franchise will eventually have to contend with, but that threat has not yet reached the shores of the new DC Universe. It’s not only because the new superhero saga is still in its infancy, with only one major film and a few shows to make up its continuity. James Gunn and Peter Safran are also giving the fans what they’ve wanted to see in a DC picture for a long time — and at a clip that would even make Marvel Studios blush.
Last year, the DCU began with a bang with Superman; his saga continues (in a way) with this year’s Supergirl, the first of three DC projects slated to premiere in 2026. Then, in 2027, Gunn delivers a truer sequel to Superman with Man of Tomorrow. With the new Green Lantern, John Stewart, scheduled to appear, and rumors of a Wonder Woman cameo, the upcoming film could lay the foundation for a super-team that fans are desperate to see done right in live-action: the Justice League. Gunn is staying mum on the future of that group in the DCU — but with production for Man of Tomorrow finally underway in Atlanta, the director has given us our first look at another exciting aspect of the film.
