James Gunn is on an absolute roll and just dropped a massive announcement. Just as we’re gearing up for his first Superman film, he’s already confirmed that Superman 2 is officially on the way! And we’ve got a title AND a release date, which is honestly wild. Let’s break down everything Gunn just revealed about the Man of Steel’s next adventure, because things are about to get very interesting.
Superman 2 Man of Tomorrow: What We Know So Far

You heard that right, Gunn isn’t waiting around. He hit up his social media to announce that the next Superman movie will fly into theaters in July 2027. That’s honestly not that far away when you think about it! And it’s not just a date; we have an official title: Man of Tomorrow. How classic is that?
To get the hype train rolling, he even shared a first look… well, kind of. It’s an image taken from a comic book that sets a serious tone, showing Superman facing off against Lex Luthor in a massive suit of armor. This pretty much locks in Lex Luthor’s return, which, let’s be real, isn’t a huge surprise. But seeing him in a potential battle suit? Now that’s something to get excited about!
But wait, it gets even more interesting. The announcement triggered a wave of reactions from some very familiar faces, and we have to wonder… are these just comments, or are they clues? First up, the actress playing Hawkgirl reacted to the news. Could this mean we’ll see her again in the sequel? It’s definitely a possibility! Then we have Aaron Pierre, who’s set to play a Green Lantern in the Lanterns series coming in 2026. He also chimed in. If he’s reacting, there’s a solid chance we might see him crossover into Superman 2.
Okay, now for the wildest one. Grant Gustin, who famously played The Flash in the TV series, also reacted. Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves—this could totally just be an actor showing support on Instagram. We’re in full-on speculation mode here, but you can’t blame us for getting hyped! We’ll be watching this one very closely.
Superman 2
So there you have it! Superman 2 is officially titled Man of Tomorrow, it’s hitting theaters in July 2027, and we’re already getting teases of an armored Lex Luthor and potential character crossovers. James Gunn is not playing games, and as a huge fan of his first Superman film, I am beyond hyped for this.
But now I want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on the title Man of Tomorrow? Are you excited to see Lex in an armored suit, and who do you hope to see show up in the sequel? Let me know everything down in the comments below!
