New artwork for the DC Universe features David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult, reprising their roles as Superman and Lex Luthor from the 2025 film *Superman*, as we anticipate their return in James Gunn’s *Man of Tomorrow*. Although Gunn has stated that *Man of Tomorrow* won’t be a direct sequel, it will bring back the two actors who played the leading roles. The movie is expected to show Superman and Lex Luthor both battling and eventually teaming up to face a greater danger, and a new concept poster vividly imagines this unlikely partnership.
The release date for *Man of Tomorrow* – July 9, 2027 – was revealed with striking comic book art by Jim Lee, showcasing David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The artwork included a live-action-style concept of Lex Luthor’s powerful warsuit, shared on *Instagram* by @spdrmnkyxxiii. This gives fans a glimpse of how Nicholas Hoult might look in the armored suit and builds anticipation for the film.
What Will Happen in Superman: Man of Tomorrow?
In DC Comics, Lex Luthor often uses a green and purple battlesuit to try and gain an equal footing against Superman’s immense power. Initial images released by James Gunn, along with the actors David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult, hinted at a showdown between the two in the 2027 film, *Man of Tomorrow*. However, James Gunn recently clarified on *The Howard Stern Show* that the movie will actually focus on Lex Luthor and Superman teaming up to face a far greater threat.
James Gunn has revealed that the upcoming film, *Man of Tomorrow*, will focus equally on Lex Luthor and Clark Kent, leading to speculation that Luthor might be the ‘Man of Tomorrow’ the title refers to. Following his defeat and humiliation in *Superman*, Luthor may undergo a transformation in this new film, potentially leading him to join forces with Superman. Theories suggest they could team up to fight villains like Brainiac – who was previously considered for the 2025 *Superman* movie – or even Bizarro, possibly bringing the Superman clone back from the universe he was sent to after falling into the black hole.
Rumors suggest the upcoming film, *Man of Tomorrow*, will feature Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern, Milly Alcock as Supergirl, and Jason Momoa as Lobo. Following the releases of *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*, the *Lanterns* series, and *Clayface*, *Man of Tomorrow* is set to significantly expand the new DC Universe created by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Fans are excited to see David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult reprise their roles, particularly with Hoult’s character expected to wear a powerful battlesuit.
