Superman has a capable bandit’s exhibition under his belt. You might just know this from comic book shows, where the Man of Steel alternates between Lex Luthor and General Zod, but aside from Batman, Spider-Man, and perhaps the X-Men, Kal-El has one of the top criminal schedules 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 Superman and Lex are seen side by side with the evil LuthorCorp CEO in some sort of mecha super-suit, and Superman leaning on his rival ‘ back while Jim Lee pencils a gathering of them. They appear to be working together, if we read the repercussions effectively. !

For the record, the picture appears to have been created by Lee especially for Gunn’s statement in 2025. If so, it heavily influenced by the suit Luthor wore in DCeased, a DC Comics event in which an alternate reality DC Universe is infected by a zombie-like virus created by the inhabitants of Apokolips ( remember them, Snyder fans? ). Luthor and Superman team up as a result of Metropolis being completely destroyed by the disease, which saddens him so much that it makes him work with him to keep what is left of the world.

We do not believe James Gunn will end up in Metropolis, which is his only other Superman film, and instead we focus on some calamitous doom and gloom plot. Ah, I guess the Adherence is no longer there, straight?

However, it seems as though he is transferring that scene and other stories where Superman and Luthor will remain in a relationship and detente despite their shared enmity and passion of Metropolis. Given how severe xenophobia and hatred Hoult’s Luthor expressed toward refugee Superman in this earlier summer’s movie, it is humorous. At the conclusion of Superman, one might believe that the Man of Tomorrow’s large conversation about being a good person addressed the selfish billionaire.

… More good, though, is that Clark don’t underestimate his, um, old companion like Charles Xavier in a 20th Century Fox X-Men film.

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

Ideas for Gunn’s DCU are changing quickly after the relatively warm reception Superman received, especially with the information that Man of Monday is being fast tracked only two decades after Superman and one year after Milly Alcock’s expected summer film Milly Alcock. The DC Universe’s visual debut did certainly surpass$ 600 million globe, which is a second for a DC film in a while. That’s a far cry from some of DC’s movies 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, therefore, 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 fire some Magnificent Crabjoys right away.
