The much-anticipated follow up to James Gunn’s blockbuster Superman has just locked in its spot on the calendar, landing a prime summer slot that’s sure to draw crowds. Titled Superman: Man of Tomorrow, this sequel is gearing up for a worldwide release on July 9, 2027, building on the massive success of the first film which pulled in over $600 million at the global box office. Warner Bros. Discovery’s top boss, David Zaslav, dropped the news himself back in August, confirming Gunn is back on board to pen the script for this fresh chapter in the DC Universe reboot. However, James Gunn dropped the title and release date on X today.
- Classic Hero Vibes: David Corenswet steps back into the cape as Superman, complete with those signature red trunks that fans have been clamoring for, keeping the character’s timeless look alive and kicking.
- Creative Powerhouse Returns: With James Gunn handling the writing duties once again, expect the same mix of heart, humor, and super action that made the original a standout.
- DC’s Bold New Era: As part of the revamped DC lineup, this film promises to expand the universe in exciting ways, though plot details are still under wraps for now. However, with this tease, we will see this Lex suit come into play with the next installment of Superman.
Final Thoughts
Kicking off right after the original’s triumphant run, Superman: Man of Tomorrow is poised to climb even higher in the superhero ranks. Superman has beaten the highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps film at the box office so no one can deny that Gunn came swinging with his new DCU. Now fans await to see more to come, but especially in 2027 with the next Superman.
