He\u2019s hellbent on collecting all the knowledge in the universe. What we know about Man of Tomorrow is that David Corenswet\u2019s Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult\u2019s Luther have to team up against a new threat in the galaxy. Wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if it\u2019s Brainiac who can shrink cities and destroy planets. In the comics, the bad guy has a history of shrinking Superman\u2019s home planet of Krypton; and in some storylines even destructed the place. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe UTA repped, European award nominated Eidinger has starred in such movies as Olivier Assayas\u2019 Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper, in the Netflix Noah Baumbach directed movies Jay Kelly and White Noise, among several others. Eidinger was nominated last year for European Actor at the European Film Awards for the Matthias Glasner directed movie Dying. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tGunn wrote on Instagram, \u201cIn our worldwide search for Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow, Lars Eidinger rose to the top. Welcome to the DCU, Lars.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAn April production start is being eyed for Man of Tomorrow for a theatrical release on July 9, 2027. Superman was Gunn\u2019s first big tentpole in the new DC Studios, led by himself and Peter Safran; the pic grossing over $616M around the world. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tMore\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: German actor Lars Eidinger will be Brainiac in James Gunn\u2019s Superman and Lex Luther movie Man of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":460559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,210286,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-460558","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-lars-eidinger","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115753369256378772","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460558","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=460558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
