Sequel to "Superman," titled "Man of Tomorrow," slated for summer 2027 release
In the world of DC, a new film is on the horizon. "Superman: Man of Tomorrow," a sequel to this summer's hit "Superman," is set to be released in July 2027. The director and producer of this upcoming production is James Gunn, who is known for his ability to balance the fun factor with real-world issues.
The film is said to mirror the real world, featuring xenophobia laced with cancel culture and contentious geopolitical disputes. However, the review does not confirm if Krypto the Dog will return in "Superman: Man of Tomorrow."
The artwork for the film's announcement was drawn by Jim Lee in 2015 and shows Superman and Lex Luthor together, with Luthor in his Warsuit. An intriguing image indeed, as Superman is shown holding a screwdriver.
The review for "Superman," released this July, commends the film for ditching the doom and gloom of the Snyderverse and embracing a campy comic book feel. It praises the fast-paced adventure and the unapologetic strangeness of the film. "Superman" earned over $611 million at the worldwide box office this summer, making it the highest-grossing superhero film of the year.
"Superman: Man of Tomorrow" is set to be released after the 2026 films "Supergirl" and "Clayface." The review also mentions the inclusion of social media bots/monkeys in the film, adding a touch of modern relevance to the storyline.
James Gunn and Peter Safran preside over DC Studios, and it's clear they're aiming to keep the momentum going with "Superman: Man of Tomorrow." The release date for the film is confirmed to be 9 July 2027. The film looks and feels like a comic book transposed onto the big screen, promising an exciting continuation of the Superman saga.
