Martian Manhunter Teased in DCU's "Man of Tomorrow"?
28 Jan
Summary
- James Gunn shared a social media post featuring Chocos, a fictional DC cookie.
- Fans speculate this post teases Martian Manhunter's appearance in a future film.
- Martian Manhunter's involvement is rumored to be for the "Man of Tomorrow" movie.
The current DC Universe movie slate primarily focuses on Superman's mythology, with "Superman" released last year and "Supergirl" scheduled for June 2026. "Man of Tomorrow" is slated for a 2027 release, and recent social media activity by DC Studios co-head James Gunn has fueled speculation about Martian Manhunter's inclusion.
Gunn shared an Instagram post highlighting "Chocos," a fictional sandwich cookie within the DC Universe. This seemingly simple post quickly led fans to connect it with J'onn J'onzz, also known as Martian Manhunter, who has a known fondness for these cookies in the comic book series. Numerous comments on Gunn's post expressed excitement and anticipation for the character's potential casting and introduction.
This social media hint is particularly significant given its association with "Man of Tomorrow." The film is set to feature David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, uniting against the villainous Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger. The introduction of an alien character like Martian Manhunter would align thematically with the cosmic threat posed by Brainiac, whose origins or actions might be linked to the decimation of Martian civilization.
