James Gunn Will Officially Replace Lex Luthor as the DCU’s Most Powerful Villain In 2027

Deadline reported that Michael Eidinger’s Brainiac will be the main villain in the upcoming Superman sequel, battling David Corenswet’s Superman. However, Lex Luthor (played by Nicholas Hoult) won’t be completely sidelined. Lex has always been powerful due to his wealth, intelligence, and connections, but Brainiac is different – he possesses immense cosmic power that doesn’t rely on manipulation or strategy. Brainiac’s power is likely to be far beyond anything Lex Luthor is used to dealing with.
