\n\tJames Gunn<\/a> is hoping Man of Tomorrow<\/a><\/a> is going to get its feet off the ground by April 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe writer-director appeared on The Howard Stern Show<\/a> where he offered an update on the recently announced Superman<\/a><\/a> followup. He explained that instead of merely spotlighting David Corenswet\u2019s Clark Kent, the movie will also focus on Nicholas Hoult\u2019s Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s more complicated than that. It\u2019s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen later discussing the ever-growing DCU slate and the writing process he went through for Peacemaker<\/a>, Gunn offered a teaser of when the sequel will begin filming, stating, \u201cThat was at the beginning when I took on DC and I promised myself I\u2019m slowing down at least a tiny bit. Although I am creating the Superman sequel that we\u2019re starting to shoot in April or so. \u2026 I\u2019m done writing that for the most part.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGunn teased the future of his self-titled Superman Saga<\/a> in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter at the season two premiere of Peacemaker, where he revealed, \u201cI\u2019ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I\u2019ll call the \u2018Superman Saga.\u2019 The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I\u2019m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMan of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters on July 9, 2027. It\u2019s safe to say Gunn\u2019s slate is jam-packed, as DC Studios<\/a> will next see the release of Craig Gillespie\u2019s Supergirl<\/a> on June 26, 2026, while James Watkins\u2019 Clayface<\/a> will arrive on Sept. 11, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Gunn is hoping Man of Tomorrow is going to get its feet off the ground by April…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":218005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[954,171,956,119104,9180,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-218004","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dc-studios","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-james-gunn","11":"tag-man-of-tomorrow","12":"tag-superman","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115185364913927940","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
