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.

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. |

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.
https://www.darkhorizons.com/new-man...rumors-emerge/ 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.

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

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

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