In the\u00a0Superman follow-up, Clark Kent will be forced to team up with Lex Luthor as they take on a much bigger threat (widely believed to be Brainiac).<\/p>\n<p>Gunn recently confirmed that he&#8217;s finished his fourth draft of the sequel. Now, he&#8217;s taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a> to share a first look at an epic pile of\u00a0storyboards progress, used as a basis for what will clearly be a huge sequence in Man of Tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A fan followed up by asking if every card is a shot from the movie, prompting Gunn to explain, <strong>&#8220;No. Some shots take up more than one card because of movement in the shot.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, the DC Studios co-CEO teased his DCU plans by saying,<strong> &#8220;I like my movies to be different. Guardians 1 is not the same as Guardians 3. They&#8217;re different. And Man of Tomorrow will not be the same as Superman. And it is Lex&#8217;s story too, so it&#8217;s the two of them. That colours it in a totally different way.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I don\u2019t know what people have guessed, but Man of Tomorrow is really\u2014it\u2019s very, very connected to Peacemaker\u2014but it\u2019s also its own thing,&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>Gunn continued. <strong>&#8220;I mean, it has its own story that\u2019s separate from this.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Man of Tomorrow is expected to be a crucial chapter in his wider plans for the DCU, and Gunn confirmed that he has one eye on the future when he said, &#8220;<strong>Yes, [my plans] definitely go significantly further than Man of Tomorrow. So whether or not that&#8217;ll be me that&#8217;s able to fulfil that promise depends on a lot of things in life.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Salvation is going to factor into Man of Tomorrow, though how crucial it will be to the story that&#8217;s being told isn&#8217;t clear. However, Rick Flag Sr.&#8217;s alliance with Lex is likely what leads to the villain being free to team up with the alien he holds so much disdain for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by James Gunn, Man of Tomorrow stars\u00a0David Corenswet as Clark Kent\/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders\/Hawkgirl, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr. Several actors are rumoured to appear, including Aaron Pierre&#8217;s John Stewart\/Green Lantern and John Cena&#8217;s Peacemaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Man of Tomorrow arrives in theaters on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"text-post-media\" data-text-post-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\/post\/DQMl85Pkfh9\" data-text-post-version=\"0\" id=\"ig-tp-DQMl85Pkfh9\" style=\" background:#FFF; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #00000026; border-radius: 16px; max-width:540px; margin: 1px; min-width:270px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superman will end 2025 as the year&#8217;s highest-grossing superhero movie, meaning James Gunn&#8217;s reboot handily beat\u00a0Captain America: Brave&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":329773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,119104,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-329772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-man-of-tomorrow","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115430609861596856","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329772","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=329772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
