James Gunn appeared on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio and said “we’re starting to shoot” the “ Superman ” sequel “ Man of Tomorrow ” in April 2026 or so. Warner Bros has already dated the comic book tentpole for July 9, 2027, which is essentially two years after the release of “Superman” on July 11 this summer.
“It’s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” Gunn teased about his sequel for the first time. “It’s more complicated than that but that’s a big part of it. It’s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I loved working with Nicholas Hoult. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly. I really wanted to create something extraordinary with the two of them. I Just love the script so much.”
