Man of Tomorrow is scheduled for July 9, 2027. Jim Lee's rendering shows Superman and Lex Luthor standing side by side, with Luthor wearing a green and purple Warsuit identified as 'Lexorian armor.' The armor levels the playing field against a powerful Kryptonian and implies either a renewed Lex-Superman showdown or a joint fight against an existential threat such as Brainiac. The 2027 release comes two years after a successful Superman film. Multiple DCU projects now have release dates, including a Batman follow-up on October 1, 2027, plus Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, and Deathstroke films. A scripts-first approach aims to minimize costly reshoots.
James Gunn's Superman was a great comic-book movie unburdened by much of the multi-billion-dollar franchise machine powering it, and a sequel isn't far away. Because even though this summer's DC blockbuster didn't feel like just another marketing beat on a pitch deck, it very much is that, too. Gunn's announcement on Wednesday that Man of Tomorrow will hit theaters in 2027 shows his rebooted DCU is about to be in full swing.
"Man of Tomorrow. In theatres July 9, 2027," the director posted on social media today alongside comic book artist Jim Lee's rendering of Superman and Lex Luthor standing next to each other, the latter appearing in his green and purple Warsuit. This "Lexorian armor" is what the billionaire genius uses to even the playing field with his himbo Kryptonian rival, and suggests at the very least the next movie will give us another showdown between the two.
