Today, Gunn revealed that not only is Superman getting a sequel, but that it’s pretty high on the priority list, as it now has a release date. The sequel is titled Man of Tomorrow, and it will be released on July 9th, 2027, though as you can see in the image below, that’s not the only noteworthy detail.
Gunn shared an image from superstar artist Jim Lee to go with the announcement, and it features David Corenswet’s Superman (in full movie costume) standing alongside Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, which is a huge reveal in itself after the events of the first film. On top of that, Lex is sporting his iconic green and purple armor, so this would suggest that Superman and Luthor are teaming up to take on an even bigger threat in the film.
Now, while it feels like they will be teaming up during the film, that doesn’t mean we won’t see Superman and Luthor throw hands at some point. Both Corenswet and Hoult shared new art pieces featuring their characters, starting with Corenswet sharing artwork by Jorge Jimenez. The artwork shows Superman and Luthor standing side by side like the piece shared by James Gunn, though that changes in the next piece.
