Sign in to your Polygon.com account Man of Tomorrow's post-production process still appears on track despite all the behind-the-scenes changes at Warner Bros. caused by the merger with Paramount. In fact, director James Gunn recently shared that Man of Tomorrow had passed an important post-production editing milestone. The assembly cut of Man of Tomorrow is complete On Threads, James Gunn was recently asked by user matthagen69 if the assembly cut for Man of Tomorrow was complete. Gunn quickly replied with a resounding "Yep!" giving a hint as to where the Superman sequel is currently in post-production. An assembly cut is the first draft of a film edit in which shots are laid out in order and the overall structure begins to take shape In a visual effects-heavy film like Man of Tomorrow, there's still a lot of work to do after the assembly cut stage beyond trimming unneeded footage. While this confirmation is a fairly minor update in the grand scheme of things, it's still good to know that the movie's post-production process remains on track amid all the major shake-ups at Warner Bros. Its merger with Paramount to create Skydance is imminent, and some major leadership changes are happening as a result. Notably, Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, the co-CEOs of Warner Bros. Pictures who helped convince James Gunn and Peter Safran to spearhead DC Studios, are exiting the company. Thankfully for DC fans, Gunn and Safran will remain at the company after the merger. As such, it appears Gunn will see Man of Tomorrow's production through to the end and is actively working on the movie. Man of Tomorrow is still slated for release in theaters on July 9, 2027. The only other DC Studios movies with firm release dates are Clayface (out on Oct. 23), The Batman Part 2 (out Feb. 18, 2028), and Dynamic Duo (out Sept. 22, 2028).
