Halloween Horror Nights: What to Expect at Universal After Epic Universe

The time of bothers has begun in Central Florida with next year’s grand entry of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida, despite the high temperatures of around 90 degrees Celsius. I attended the media day function, where I saw all 10 haunted houses, half of which were based on well-known franchises like Terrifier and Fallout.

What to Expect at Universal After Epic Universe: What to Expect from Halloween Horror Nights initially appeared on Den of Geek.

Superman has a capable sorcerer’s gallery to his credit. Although the Man of Steel faces alternating rounds between Lex Luthor and General Zod, you might not realize this until you just view comic book movies, but aside from Batman, Spider-Man, and perhaps the X-Men, Kal-El has one of the best villain rosters in comic book history.

So it’s interesting that writer-director James Gunn revealed in his wonder Wednesday statement about Superman 2 that the film is then entitled Man of Tomorrow and is on the verge of a July 9, 2027 release date, as well as that it looks like it might feature Nicholas Hoult‘s Lex Luthor and David Corenswet’s Clark Kent, although not as you might have expected to see the shaven evil genius.

In the following social media post, where the name and date are displayed, we see a Jim Lee penciled drawing of Superman and Lex standing next to the terrible LuthorCorp CEO in some sort of mecha super-suit, and Superman leaning on his rival ‘ back while Superman is holding a hammer. If we interpret the implications effectively, it appears as though they’re working together. !

For the record, the picture appears to have been created by Lee especially for Gunn’s statement in 2025. If so, it &#8217 is heavily influenced by the suit Luthor wore in the 2019 DC Comics event, DCeased, where an alternate reality DC Universe is infected by a zombie-like virus created by the Apokolips ( remember them, Snyder fans? ). Metropolis is thus completely destroyed by the influenza, which depresses Luthor so much that he teams up with Superman to save what is left of the rest of the world.

For the record, we do not believe James Gunn will kill Metropolis and instead embark on some calamitous doom and gloom story in his second Superman film. Ah, this is no longer the Adherence, isn’t it?

However, it does seem as though he is ripping off that story and others where Superman and Luthor will come into a position of detente and collaboration despite their public animosity and a love of Metropolis. Given how severe xenophobia and prejudice Hoult’s Luthor expressed toward refugee Superman in this earlier summer’s movie, it is humorous. At the conclusion of Superman, one might assume that the Man of Tomorrow’s large conversation about being a good person addressed the selfish billionaire.

However, it’s more likely that Clark don’t trust his, um, ancient friend too much like Charles Xavier in a 20th Century Fox X-Men video.

What danger may get bad enough to cause them to subscribe troops, according to the statement? Perhaps even more arrogant and naught than the CEO of LuthorCorp?

Programs for Gunn’s DCU are changing quickly after Superman‘s relatively warm welcome, as evidenced by the news that Guy of Tomorrow is being fast tracked only two years after Superman and one month after Milly Alcock’s expected summer film Milly Alcock. The film’s visual debut for DC Universe exceeded$ 600 million worldwide, marking a second for a DC film in a while. That’s a far cry from some of DC’s pictures from the decade, but the negative impression those movies left on viewers appeared to indicate significant declines in the success of their sequels and follow-ups.

In two decades, we might be able to determine whether Superman and the greater DC Universe are on a different direction, as Batman Begins to The Dark Knight. If you’ll pardon us, it’s time to unleash some Magnificent Crabjoys.
