Superman is returning to theaters in 2027 with Man of Tomorrow. A sequel to James Gunn’s\u00a0Superman, the film will see the Man of Steel teaming up<\/a><\/strong> with his archnemesis, Lex Luthor, against a common threat. Aside from that\u00a0premise, there’s still very little we actually know about Clark Kent’s upcoming adventure. Fortunately, we might have gotten information on a crucial detail: Superman’s costume.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When James Gunn announced Man of Tomorrow, diferent\u00a0pieces<\/a><\/strong> of official art<\/strong><\/a> from the film drawn by different comic book artists, including Jim Lee. In the pieces, Superman was depicted wearing his costume from the eponymous 2025 feature. However, given that it was a drawing, it wasn’t clear whether Clark would indeed be wearing the same suit, or if he’d\u00a0get a new one. Now, we may\u00a0have an answer for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The costumes used in the\u00a0Superman movie have been on display at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood as part of the Superman Exhibit<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0since May.\u00a0Now, however, the Man of Steel’s super suit\u00a0appears to be\u00a0gone\u00a0from the display. Over on the r\/DCU subreddit, user r\/M00r3C posted a picture<\/a><\/strong> of the exhibit. In place of\u00a0the costume, there is\u00a0a notice that reads: “Superman costume currently being used by production.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before diving further into this, it’s important to note\u00a0there is a possibility the picture isn’t real. Having said that, it was shared, as mentioned, on the r\/DCU subreddit, which isn’t known for misleading posts. It’s also important to note that the production mentioned in the notice may not\u00a0necessarily be a DCU film or TV show. It could\u00a0have just as much\u00a0been borrowed for a commercial, or some sort of promotional tie-in.\u00a0With that said, let’s assume this is true, and focus on the (feasible) possibility that this development is\u00a0related to a major DC Studios production.<\/p>\n

Superman Could Be Keeping His Costume for Man of Tomorrow<\/p>\n

Given that the only DCU film gearing up for production in\u00a0the not-too-distant future is Man of Tomorrow, it makes sense to assume the “production” being referred to on the notice\u00a0is the upcoming sequel. One could argue Clayface\u00a0may also be an option. Yet,\u00a0given how it’s been filming for nearly two months<\/a><\/strong> and how Clayface isn’t a Superman\u00a0villain, it seems unlikely. If the production is, indeed, Man of Tomorrow, it points to the possibility of Kal-El donning the same costume that he wore in Superman\u00a0for Man of Tomorrow, at least for a portion\u00a0of it (assuming he doesn’t get a new outfit at some point\u00a0in the\u00a0film).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, it’s understandable to read\u00a0the notice and mistakenly believe that\u00a0Man of Tomorrow is already in production. It’s not. The film, however, is in pre-production, and is expected to begin filming summer 2026<\/strong><\/a>. With its release date being less than two years away, the costume department is likely already setting up the film’s wardrobe. As such, it would make sense for\u00a0the costume to be requested for the pre-production process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some may find it odd for a multi-million-dollar production to take\u00a0a\u00a0suit\u00a0that’s on display in an exhibit as opposed to simply making a new one. To explain why that might be the case, superhero costumes for major Hollywood productions can be incredibly expensive. As an example, Tobey Maguire’s suits for 2002’s Spider-Man were\u00a0said to have cost<\/a><\/strong> approximately $50,000 each (comic book movies\u00a0often require\u00a0multiples of the same costume).\u00a0With that, even if more than one Superman costume\u00a0was\u00a0made, their value is likely so high, that having them all back for a future production could\u00a0save up a considerable amount of money in wardrobe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Superman possibly\u00a0keeping the same costume for Man of Tomorrow\u00a0would make the film somewhat of an outlier in the superhero genre. Comic book\u00a0franchises tend to to avoid keeping the same costume from one installment to another. The MCU’s Spider-Man has gotten a new outfit\u00a0in every single one of his three (soon-to-be-four) films; Superman’s suit\u00a0changed in small ways from Man of Steel to Batman v Superman;\u00a0Iron Man\u00a0updated his armor at a rate most of us simply couldn’t keep up with. Even Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy did this, with\u00a0Batman receiving a major armor\u00a0upgrade from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If it is indeed the case that Man of Tomorrow will employ the same costume from\u00a0Superman, the DCU would break away from that trend. This would\u00a0make\u00a0sense, though, given the challenges that designing it presented in the first place. During a Superman set visit (via Gizmodo<\/a><\/strong>), James Gunn explained what it took to land on the final design, given how difficult it was to make Superman’s trunks work in live-action:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened-tested with trunks and no trunks. And one of the things David said is that, Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him. He’s an alien. He’s got these incredible powers. He shoots beams out of his eyes…\u00a0He’s this incredibly powerful\u2014could be considered scary\u2014individual, and he wants people to like him. He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler. He dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that hope,\u00a0that shows that positivity. And that really clicked in for me. And I think trying to pretend that Superman’s costume doesn’t have some frivolity to it at its base, trying to make it look serious\u00a0is silly, because he is a superhero. He’s the first one, brightly colored and that’s who he is.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man of Tomorrow is slated to fly into theaters on July 9, 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
