In the\u00a0Superman follow-up, Clark Kent will be forced to team up with Lex Luthor as they take on a much bigger threat (widely believed to be Brainiac).<\/p>\n<p>Gunn recently confirmed that he&#8217;s finished his fourth draft of the sequel. Now, he&#8217;s taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a> to share a first look at an epic pile of\u00a0storyboards progress, used as a basis for what will clearly be a huge sequence in Man of Tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A fan followed up by asking if every card is a shot from the movie, prompting Gunn to explain, &#8220;No. Some shots take up more than one card because of movement in the shot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, the DC Studios co-CEO teased his DCU plans by saying, &#8220;I like my movies to be different. Guardians 1 is not the same as Guardians 3. They&#8217;re different. And Man of Tomorrow will not be the same as Superman. And it is Lex&#8217;s story too, so it&#8217;s the two of them. That colours it in a totally different way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know what people have guessed, but Man of Tomorrow is really\u2014it\u2019s very, very connected to Peacemaker\u2014but it\u2019s also its own thing,&#8221;\u00a0Gunn continued. &#8220;I mean, it has its own story that\u2019s separate from this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Man of Tomorrow is expected to be a crucial chapter in his wider plans for the DCU, and Gunn confirmed that he has one eye on the future when he said, &#8220;Yes, [my plans] definitely go significantly further than Man of Tomorrow. So whether or not that&#8217;ll be me that&#8217;s able to fulfil that promise depends on a lot of things in life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Salvation is going to factor into Man of Tomorrow, though how crucial it will be to the story that&#8217;s being told isn&#8217;t clear. However, Rick Flag Sr.&#8217;s alliance with Lex is likely what leads to the villain being free to team up with the alien he holds so much disdain for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by James Gunn, Man of Tomorrow stars\u00a0David Corenswet as Clark Kent\/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders\/Hawkgirl, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr. Several actors are rumoured to appear, including Aaron Pierre&#8217;s John Stewart\/Green Lantern and John Cena&#8217;s Peacemaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Man of Tomorrow arrives in theaters on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superman will end 2025 as the year&#8217;s highest-grossing superhero movie, meaning James Gunn&#8217;s reboot handily beat\u00a0Captain America: Brave&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223225,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,55503,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-223224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-man-of-tomorrow","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
