Several reliable sources have also indicated that the filmmaker is planning to introduce Wonder Woman in his Superman sequel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a reboot of her franchise in the works, it makes sense for Diana Prince to make her presence felt in one of the DCU&#8217;s most high-profile projects (it certainly worked for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016). We don&#8217;t know what kind of movie Wonder Woman will be, but chances are it&#8217;ll take\u00a0inspiration\u00a0from\u00a0Tom King&#8217;s current run based on how his work is shaping the DCU.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, will the Amazon Warrior be joined by one of her closest allies, Steve Trevor?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to scooper <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DanielRPK\/status\/1994879480834527319\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Richtman<\/a>, <strong>&#8220;There is also a major new male character they are casting for Man of Tomorrow.&#8221;<\/strong> He doesn&#8217;t know who it is, and while Gunn may have plans to introduce yet another superhero, we&#8217;re leaning towards Steve.<\/p>\n<p>For what it&#8217;s worth, we&#8217;ve heard some unverified rumblings about the character showing up in Man of Tomorrow, even after Chris Pine&#8217;s lead role as the hero in Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, where things got&#8230;weird. The DCEU didn&#8217;t explore his relationship with Diana in the present day, so a new take\u2014with ties to Rick Flag Sr. and A.R.G.U.S.\u2014makes a ton of sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see, but all signs currently point to Man of Tomorrow being a much bigger movie than Superman. Hopefully, it avoids becoming overstuffed, but Gunn has never struggled with handling large ensemble casts well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gunn has previously said that\u00a0Superman\u00a0<strong>&#8220;is more comic booky in some ways&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0than Man of Tomorrow, explaining\u00a0that this sequel\u00a0<strong>&#8220;has to do with the dual characters of Lex and Superman at the centre.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m just more interested in getting into the heart of Lex and seeing how he fits into all of this,&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0he added.\u00a0<strong>&#8220;I think getting to know more of\u00a0Lex as a human being. We saw a lot about the evil part of Lex. He&#8217;s pretty evil. He, as a character,\u00a0is really interesting. There&#8217;s something, despite everything, that is incredibly heroic about Lex.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by James Gunn,\u00a0Man of Tomorrow\u00a0stars\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.<\/p>\n<p>Several actors and characters are rumoured to appear, including Aaron Pierre&#8217;s John Stewart\/Green Lantern and John Cena&#8217;s Peacemaker. As noted, recent reports point to Gunn possibly looking to cast the DCU&#8217;s Wonder Woman, while\u00a0Dracula\u00a0star\u00a0Claes Bang has been named as a possible contender for Brainiac.<\/p>\n<p>Man of Tomorrow\u00a0arrives in theaters on\u00a0July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is currently on the hunt for Man of Tomorrow&#8217;s Brainiac.
