James Gunn has unveiled his next project in his Superman Saga. Man of Tomorrow will be in theaters July 9, 2027, the filmmaker revealed on Instagram, along with a photo of a suped-up Lex Luthor and Superman.
Gunn has been teasing the feature for weeks, saying that his next project won’t be a direct sequel to Superman, but will feature characters audiences already know from his summer hit.
“I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the ‘Superman Saga,’” Gunn told The Hollywood Reporter last month at the premiere for his TV show Peacemaker. “I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”
Coming up, DC Studios has filmmaker Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl due out June 26, 2026, with James Watkins’ horror title Clayface slated for Sept. 11, 2026.
Gunn is coming off of Superman, which earned strong reviews and introduced a slew of new characters to populate the DC Universe, not just Superman (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) but heroes such as Guy Gardner (Nathon Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced).
With $611.6 million globally, Superman stands as the top grossing comic book movie of the year, but the sum also reflects the more challenging theatrical landscape when it comes to superheroes, particularly internationally. (In 2013, Zack Snyder Superman feature Man of Steel topped $670 million globally.)
More to come.
