"Superman: Man of Tomorrow" is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 9, 2027. In this installment, the Man of Steel, portrayed again by David Corenswet, must join forces with his rival Lex Luthor.

Rachel Brosnahan is set to reprise her role as Lois Lane. Supporting cast members returning include Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific. Milly Alcock will also return as Kara Zor-El, following her role in "Supergirl."

Additionally, Aaron Pierre will be introduced as John Stewart, who is also set to debut in the HBO Max series "Lanterns." Gunn, who co-runs DC Studios with Peter Safran, expressed his deep appreciation for the characters and the responsibility of shaping their on-screen presence.
