DC's 'Superman' Sequel Officially Set for 2027 Release

Image via DC Studios Published Aug 26, 2026, 2:29 PM EDT A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation." An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.The fate of the DC Universe is seemingly in flux. After making its big-screen debut with last year's Superman, the new cinematic universe had a bump in the road with this summer's Supergirl, and will now venture into unfamiliar territory with this fall's R-rated horror film Clayface. So far, only one other film remains on the future release calendar, but it just took one flying leap towards its box office destiny. Man of Tomorrow will follow up on Superman, which ended with the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) defeating his arch-foe, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), and exposing his crimes, sending him to prison. However, the fiercest of enemies will need to become allies in Man of Tomorrow, which will pit them both against the alien menace of Brainiac (Lars Eidinger). James Gunn, the head honcho of the DCU and the creative force behind Superman, returns to write and direct the film. Today, Man of Tomorrow is finished. Gunn announced on the social media site Threads that the film has completed principal photography, and will now race, like a speeding bullet, towards its July 9, 2027 release date. He also shared photos of star Hoult, still sporting a shaved Lex Luthor pate, swimming in a lake following the final "cut!", plus a group shot of the film's crew at the shoot's "video village." Who Stars in 'Man of Tomorrow'? In addition to Corenswet, Hoult, and Eidinger, a veritable legion of superheroes (but not the Legion of Super Heroes, or at least as far as we know) will be joining the battle against Brainiac. Man of Tomorrow will be released on July 9, 2027. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
