Man of Tomorrow, a follow-up but not a direct sequel to Superman, will release July 9, 2027. Gunn has stated that he has completed the script, and is now in the lengthy rewriting phase. Gunn’s announcement includes art from Jim Lee. It seems to suggest that Superman (David Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) will return in Man of Tomorrow. In addition, Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) reposted Gunn’s announcement onto her Instagram story, implying that she too will appear in the film. If she is in the film, it is likely that Guy Gardner (Nathon Fillion) and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) will appear as well.
Superman is doing very well at the box office right now, as it currently is the highest-grossing solo Superman film domestically and the second-highest grossing solo Superman film worlwide of all-time.

With Supergirl and Clayface set to be the 2026 DCU film releases, he is looking to fill the 2027 slate with an instant heavy-hitter. Fans will flock to the theaters for the release, to see what comes next in the Superman saga, as well as the larger DCU.
