James Gunn’s next Superman film officially has a name and a release date. Superman: Man of Tomorrow will arrive in theaters on July 9, 2027, with David Corenswet returning as the iconic hero.
Following the global success of Gunn’s 2025 Superman, which earned over $600 million at the box office and relaunched the DC Universe, the director revealed the new title.
Gunn announced the title and release date on social media, sharing artwork featuring Superman alongside Lex Luthor in his iconic Warsuit, a strong hint that the sequel will continue exploring the rivalry between the two.
Production for Superman: Man of Tomorrow is set to begin in the coming months. Alongside Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, and other cast members from the first film will also return.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow joins DC Studios’ expanding slate, following Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl and Mike Flanagan and James Watkins’ Clayface in 2026, and preceding Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, scheduled for October 1, 2027.
Meanwhile, Gunn continues to enjoy success with season two of Peacemaker on Max, as he gears up to bring Superman back to theaters in 2027.
