James Gunn is a man who does not like to hide things. In fact, he loves to talk about his upcoming productions with a candor we enjoy. In the recent DCU hit Superman, there were actually no surprise cameos or Easter eggs that were thrown in just for shock ...

As of April 2026, three new characters and cast members have been added to Superman: Man of Tomorrow. In December 2025, Gunn announced that German actor Eidinger was chosen to play the villain Brainiac, who is a "hyper intelligent alien android with a tyrannical thirst for absolute knowledge of the universe," per Variety.

The upcoming Superman sequel, 'Man of Tomorrow,' will see David Corenswet’s Superman and Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor form an uneasy alliance to face Brainiac, portrayed by Lars Eidinger. The film expands the DC Universe with new heroes like Green ...

Following a round of auditions last week, Adria Arjona has landed the role of Maxima in the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow from DC Studios. James Gunn is directing, producing and penned the script, with David Corenswet back as the Man of Steel.

DC Universe architect James Gunn revealed that filming has begun on the SUPERMAN sequel, SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW, as it eyes a Summer 2027 release. “From the set of #ManofTomorrow. Shooting now,” Gunn wrote on an Instagram post featuring a picture of a chessboard and a prison badge for Lex Luthor.
