James Gunn's new DC universe might be done, but the follow-up to 2025's Superman is still on the way.

It feels like yesterday when we were discussing Superman, the first big-screen entry in James Gunn's rebooted DCU. Now Gunn is out, and Skydance (the company formed by the merger of Warner and Paramount) is already dismantling his grand plans for the DCU.
That means that Man of Tomorrow, which arrives next summer, will be the final entry in Gunn's ambitious, and occasionally divisive, DC experiment. The DCU's first chapter — officially titled 'Gods and Monsters' — gave us Supergirl and Clayface (as well as TV shows like Peacemaker S2 and Lanterns) in the run-up to Clark Kent and Lex Luthor's return.
Man of Tomorrow looks to be upping the stakes from Earthly villains to intergalactic baddies with the introduction of Brainiac, and it may well have been the herald of the first Justice League movie in the rebooted DCU.
Gunn has yet to prove audiences actually care about more than Batman and Supes, which might explain why this follow-up is also an ensemble of sorts. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe prepares to unleash Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and even a fresh X-Men reboot, their DC counterparts have always struggled to get their dream team off the ground.
We'll never know what might have been, but we can still enjoy Gunn's DC swansong when it lands in 2027. Here's everything we know about James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow.
Man of Tomorrow will be released theatrically in the United States on July 9, 2027. Most international territories are expected to get it around the same time.
Only a few months after Superman's release and successful box office run, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed the sequel would be coming two years after Clark Kent's return to the big screen.
Man of Tomorrow isn't out yet, but you can watch the rest of the DCU so far (it's pretty good for the most part) in preparation first.
