So 2025 has seen one of those most rare of things in superhero films….a DC film out grossing the Marvel films because James Gunn’s Superman film has been the biggest comic book earner of the year earning $614m at the global box office and marking a great start for Warners reboot of its DC films. Inevitably a sequel has been quickly greenlit and James Gunn has made it known what the Superman sequel story is.
Appearing Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio he told the DJ that he begins shooting the sequel in April 2026 meaning that Warner Bros has already dated the comic book tentpole for release on 9th July 9 2027, which is almost two years after the release of “Superman” on 11th July 2025.
He then went on to tell Stern, ‘“It’s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” Gunn teased about his sequel for the first time. “It’s more complicated than that but that’s a big part of it. It’s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I loved working with Nicholas Hoult. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly. I really wanted to create something extraordinary with the two of them. I Just love the script so much.”
Both David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor are are all but confirmed to return for the sequel which is titled, “Man of Tomorrow.
On 3rd September Gunn posted a comic book image of Superman standing next to Lex Luthor in his Warsuit. In the DC comics, Lex creates the suit in order match Superman’s strength and abilities. While the teaser image suggested Lex and Superman would be at odds again, it now appears Lex will be using his Warsuit so that he can be on the same level as Superman for whatever big threat comes their way.
