Lex Luthor is just a man. A brilliant man, but a man nevertheless. If he\u2019s going to team up with his arch-nemesis, Superman, to fight the deadly Brainiac<\/a>, he\u2019s going to need some help<\/a>. He\u2019s going to need a super suit. And holy crap, that super suit looks awesome.<\/p>\n

Last year, DC Studios co-president and filmmaker James Gunn revealed that his next film<\/a> would be Man of Tomorrow starring David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor<\/a>. The news broke with original art of Superman and Lex side-by-side<\/a>, with Lex in an elaborate green suit that brought to mind the Hammer of Boravia character Lex created in the first film. But that was months ago and Gunn and team are now actually filming, so the director decided to drop this.<\/p>\n

And here it is so you can blow it up.<\/p>\n

\"Lex\u00a9 Warner Bros. <\/p>\n

A few things come to mind here. First, it\u2019s very cool that it\u2019s actually Nicholas Hoult in the suit. Clearly, there will be different suits for different scenes, and some will be recreated in CGI. But that there is a suit he can wear, and it looks that good, is very exciting.<\/p>\n

Second, is this a set that\u2019s being used in the film? It could just be an area where Gunn thought he\u2019d get some cool lighting, but look at the shadows. Why are there lines there? Are those bars? Is Lex\u2019s jail like a beach? And, if he is in a cell, why is he allowed to have the suit on? We don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

With filming now underway on Man of Tomorrow, expect many more images to get out, especially if Gunn and crew choose to film outside as they did on the previous film. And, we think it\u2019s safe to start getting excited for next summer when Man of Tomorrow hits theaters.<\/p>\n

The DC Universe continues later this month when Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26. Lanterns follows in August and Man of Tomorrow is scheduled for release on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n
