Since James Gunn announced that Man of Tomorrow<\/a> would feature Superman and Lex Luthor teaming up against a much bigger threat, many fans have speculated that Brainiac would be the bigger threat, and according to The Wrap<\/a>, that\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

The outlet claims that Superman and Luthor will be forced into a temporary alliance to deal with Brainiac, a hyper-intelligent supervillain obsessed with collecting all knowledge in the known universe. If true, this would mark the villain\u2019s first appearance in a live-action Superman movie, and it\u2019s certainly been a long time coming. Since the release of the very first Superman movie in 1978, we\u2019ve had four Luthors, two Zods, and even a Doomsday, but no Brainiac. It\u2019s time. Of course, there could easily be other villains in the movie as well.<\/p>\n

Production on Man of Tomorrow will begin in Atlanta in April, and Warner Bros. have already scheduled the sequel for a July 9, 2027 release.<\/p>\n

While speaking on the Howard Stern Show earlier this year<\/a>, Gunn dropped a few story details. \u201cIt\u2019s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s more complicated than that but. It\u2019s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly. I really wanted to create something extraordinary with the two of them. I just love the script so much.\u201d Gunn may have even hinted at Brainiac\u2019s involvement with the reveal of the script\u2019s title page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next DCU project to be released in theaters will be Supergirl<\/a>, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, alongside Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) as Ruthye<\/a>, Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone) as Krem of the Yellow Hill<\/a>, David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) as Zor-El<\/a>, Emily Beecham (1899) as Alura<\/a>, and Jason Momoa as Lobo<\/a>, a role he has longed to play for years. The film will hit theaters on June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
