Taking to social media on Wednesday, Gunn — who also serves as co-head of DC Studios — revealed the sequel’s title alongside a powerful comic image of Superman standing beside arch-nemesis Lex Luthor in his infamous Warsuit. The post hints strongly at what fans can expect from the upcoming installment: a deeper dive into Luthor’s personal vendetta against the Man of Steel.
Lex Luthor Levels Up
Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of Lex Luthor in Gunn’s first Superman film received praise for adding layers of intelligence and malice to the classic villain. In Man of Tomorrow, Luthor appears to be done with proxies — after his failed attempt to destroy Superman using a clone, he’s now stepping into the ring himself. His advanced Warsuit, borrowed from comic book lore, is engineered to rival Superman’s powers, setting the stage for a direct showdown between the two titans.
