Man of Tomorrow (2027) "Superman" follow-up
 

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...ie-1236350987/

Gunn has gone out of his way to point out this isn't Superman 2, yet it's a "follow-up" to this year's Superman. It doesn't look like this is even necessarily "Superman: Man of Tomorrow," and the title could apply to Lex as much or more to Superman.

Well, whatever this is, it sounds better than what I was fearing it would be. Like some kind of big ensemble "Super-Family" movie or "Superman vs. the Authority" or something.

Yeah but Superman will definitely be in it along with Lex Luthor in that suit

Boy they are not avoiding those 'chasing blueprint money' allegations are they?

Ah, if he said it's not a sequel then yeah I'd think it's a superman family assemble movie. Since apparently the Authority movie was cancelled, maybe this is his way of having the Authority, in it. I could see that. I also think it would likely have Supergirl in it in a bigger role.

DC only has ten years left to fully profit off of Superman / Batman before they're public domain. Unlike Mickey Mouse or Tarzan, people actually would try to make movies off these early incarnations of the characters.

Those what what allegations?

Glad we are getting some form of a follow up to Superman in 10 years that isn’t a Batman V movie or a Justice League movie.

Also this mean Jon Stewart and Hawkgirl are finally gonna meet?

There's a rumor that this will be "the big Brainiac movie." With "all hands on deck." So if that's true, anyone hoping that this will even be spiritually a Superman 2 will probably be disappointed.

Well... a big "Braniac" movie should by all rights be an incredible action/fight flick.

Honestly - we don't need to see "remnant Kryptonians" on film ever again. Superman II and Man of Steel pretty much has that down pat. It would be one thing if Superman had no rogues gallery but there are ten thousand other things they could do other than "Zod" again.

Only 2 years for a sequel is amazing, and technically only 1 year if you count Supergirl which comes out next year. So we're basically getting annual Superman/Supergirl movies, James Gunn works fast. And then when the DCU really gets expanded with all the other superhero movies, we'll be MCU level with probably 2-3 movies a year going forward.

Let's just hope James Gunn and the other directors don't burn out fast. DC really needs a solid 10 years of good superhero movies going forward.

Apparently people who saw early screenings of Superman all concur that they saw a Brainiac teaser in the after-credits that vanished in the final theatrical version. This might get moved over into the Supergirl after credits to setup this movie more closely.

I was making a satirical comment that making the title 'Man of Tomorrow' was an attempt at chasing Snyder money.

Yeah, see... Luthor and Superman are probably going to put aside their differences to fight Brainiac. And there'll be Green Lanterns in it and will be a big ensemble thing. The best Marvel equivalent would probably be Captain America "3": Civil War. Where yeah, Captain America is front and center, but it's a million cast members and it's basically Avengers 2.5. Except here it's Nothing 0.5, and rather than warring superheroes it's all superheroes vs. one thing. And Superman somewhere in there with a few memorable moments, at best. So Gunn doesn't really have to worry about writing serious Superman material without all of these crutches.

I still say too soon for that. We need at least one proper Superman sequel that's more focused before we start growing stuff like this.

Oh OK, I get it now.

Well his solo movie had the Justice Society, same thing.

No that was the Justice gang. Justice society is a different group of heroes

Whatever Guy.

So I really hope that Supergirl, Lobo and Peacemaker are in this movie like Nexus Point News reported that they might be in this movie and if Peacemaker is really in movie than this will be first time he is in PG-13 rated movie in DCU because Suicide Squad is rated R

He literally just appeared in Superman.

Oh, yeah, you are right I watched that movie but I meant that Man of Tomorrow movie might be first time that he will appear in PG-13 movie and have bigger role than in Superman that is what I meant here

Brosnan says Dr fate is in man of tomorrow

I hope it's true. His Dr. Fate was incredible in that otherwise pretty dismal Black Adam flick.

Agreed only reason I bought that movie.

I don't think think Brosnan will be coming back but I wouldn't mind at all him getting a parachute out of the rubble of Black Adam.

*edit: Gunn doesn't necessarily dispute the rumor:

Claes Bang as Brainiac... now that wouldn't be bad at all.

Lars Eidinger officially cast as Brainiac

https://bsky.app/profile/jamesgunn.b.../3magmuu7tuk24

Interesting casting, just two days ago, my wife went to see one of his readings. I‘m not a fan of German cinema at all but Eidinger‘s got an excellent reputation for playing psychopaths.

A sound choice.

You know him? I wasn‘t aware that he had a career outside of Germany.

He was pretty good in High Life, which is a pretty underrated movie. I'm just glad we're not getting someone with a propensity for wackiness. The casting kind of informs how the character of Brainiac is being approached.

Wonder Woman will show up in Man of Tomorrow, a non-Superman 2? Jeeze... just like WB forced Snyder to do in BvS, a non-Man of Steel 2?

Aaron Pierre joins the cast so John Stewart is in

Xolo is officially coming back as Blue Beetle in Man of Tomorrow:

https://variety.com/2026/film/news/b...ow-1236811013/

So the Blue Beetle movie is now canon? Or will this be a soft-reboot intro to the character?

I'm sure it'll be at least as much canon as the last Suicide Squad movie. It's not like the Blue Beetle movie really did any damage to the greater universe or anything beyond calling Batman a fascist.

All I remember from that movie is around the climax, where one of his spanish friends was free from being captured by Susan Sarandon (who was the racist white woman in the movie), and she called him by the wrong name all movie I believe.

Then the spanish guy gets free and "declares" his full name, and of course hispanics sometimes have 4 names (!?), so he says his first name, his middle name, his second middle name, and his last name like it was suppose to mean something. :lol:

Why do some hispanics have 4 names anyway? Do you really need two middle names or something? Man hispanics are really something.

First name, middle name, your last name and your mother's maiden name. Though it's not used too often, but that is where the fourth name comes from. I think it's mostly used for documentation/paperwork or when you piss off your SO bad enough they blurt out your full name.

Ah, so that's what it is. I always found it weird some hispanics have 4 names, I never understood why.

Yeah, you know you're in trouble when your parents (when you're a kid) or your SO (when you're older) calls you by all four names.

What makes some Hispanic named ridiculously long is that sometimes the last name is multiple words like De La Costa or De La Alta Gracia and whatnot, so now you have what is literally four names but looks like ten words.

A buddy of mine was in the Marine Corps and he was in boot camp with a guy named Rodriguez-Rodriguez. The drill instructor hated him lol

Man Hispanics are so weird and funny.

The clues were even there. Aaron Pierre joins the cast as John Stewart... but not Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan?
