A recently leaked list of McFarlane toys for James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie has given fans a thrilling sneak peek into what they can expect, and it’s shaping up to be Superman’s biggest battle yet. According to the toy list, Superman will take on not only his iconic foe Lex Luthor but also Ultraman and a creature called “Baby Kaiju.” The reveal of Superman vs Ultraman and Lex Luthor has fans buzzing, especially as it aligns with some early rumors and teasers hinting at these villains.
Superman vs Ultraman and Lex Luthor: Rumors, Set Leaks, and Confirmation
The internet was set ablaze when the Twitter/X accounts “My Time to Shine” and “Daniel RPK” claimed that Ultraman would play a central role as a villain in Gunn’s Superman movie. As the rumor spread, James Gunn himself stepped in to address the speculation. Gunn clarified:
“The primary protagonist of Superman is, shockingly, Superman. The main villain of Superman is, shockingly, Lex Luthor. I don’t know where all the stuff is coming from that it’s something other than this. There are so many stories coming out every day it’s difficult to deal with and every time I strike something down I’m giving it attention. So, I’ll say again, don’t believe anything unless you see it HERE (& why would you want to know everything before the movie comes out anyway?)”
This response, however, left room for speculation. While Gunn did clarify that Lex Luthor is the main villain, he neither confirmed nor denied Ultraman’s involvement, leaving fans to interpret his comments in various ways.
Set Photos Hint at Ultraman’s Presence
Adding to the excitement, photos from a Cleveland filming set revealed a mysterious character in a suit with a prominent “U” symbol on the chest. Fans quickly debated whether this character could be Ultraman or Ulysses. While Gunn’s supporters argued it’s likely Ulysses due to Gunn’s downplaying of the Ultraman rumor, the director has not directly confirmed the character’s identity. As a result, fans remain curious about the possibility of Superman vs Ultraman in this film.
