Now, Gunn has confirmed audiences will find out what happened to him in his Superman sequel. Commenting on Gunn’s Holiday post, a fan asked Gunn what happened to Handsome following Luthor’s capture. The director replied: “You’ll find out in [Man of Tomorrow].”<\/p>\n
There are two possible meanings behind\u00a0Gunn’s tease. The first one is that Man of Tomorrow will reference Mr. Handsome, revealing his whereabouts, but\u00a0not physically show him. The second is that the creature will be\u00a0featured in the sequel. The latter is likelier, given how important he is to Lex, who will be the co-star of the film, and Gunn’s aforementioned Holiday card:<\/p>\n
The director captioned his post with:\u00a0“Mr. Handsome holiday card to the Man of Tomorrow crew from our art department. Art by Sam Avila, Art Director.\u00a0 You may be wondering why there is so much focus on Mr. Handsome. Well, the guy isn’t just a freaky creature. As mentioned, he’s actually an important part of Lex Luthor’s life. As teased by Luthor having a picture of Handsome on his desk, he\u00a0is the villain’s only friend. As Gunn explained in an\u00a0X post<\/a> following Superman’s release:\u00a0<\/p>\n “When people ask me my favorite character from\u00a0Superman,\u00a0it just might be Mr. Handsome. Lex created Mr. Handsome in a Petri dish when he was 12\u2014he was trying to make a human. He didn’t come out so well, but he just might be the only one in the world Lex has any true sentiment for, as evidenced by the photo on his desk. Our Mr. Handsome was portrayed by the wonderful Trevor Newlin.”<\/p>\n Man of Tomorrow will arrive in theaters on July 9, 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n Are you looking forward to possibly seeing more of Mr. Handsome in Man of Tomorrow?

\nHappy Holidays (and Hanlidays!)”\u00a0Given that the image was\u00a0specifically made for the\u00a0Man of Tomorrow\u00a0crew, it looks like odds are in Mr. Handsome’s favor to show up in the Superman follow.<\/p>\n
