Man of Tomorrow’s major changes are reportedly taking shape as James Gunn prepares a new chapter that could make the DCU film even more ambitious.
According to scooper Mundos da DC, Gunn is making several adjustments to the film following criticism of Superman (2025). The report also claims that the movie will become the DCU’s first major event film. It could connect the stories of Superman, Supergirl, and Lanterns.
Man of Tomorrow’s Major Changes Could Bring a New Tone
The reported Man of Tomorrow’s Major Changes could give the movie a more mature and epic direction. According to the report, the film will be “much more mature, dense, and epic” than Superman.
It is also reportedly closer in tone to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 than Gunn’s 2025 Superman movie. This could mark a notable shift for the franchise. The sequel may explore a larger story while keeping Superman at its center.
Man of Tomorrow’s Major Changes Include New Cinematography
The film’s visual style is reportedly another area receiving attention. According to the report, Gunn has changed the cinematographer during the production process. The change could give the movie a stronger visual identity.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor reportedly gets involved in a prison fight. Hoult is also said to appear shirtless during the sequence. Brainiac could receive an even bigger visual transformation. His reported design is described as “terrifying,” with the goal of making the villain frightening to general audiences.
John Stewart Could Have a Major Role
Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart reportedly has a major role in the film. The Green Lantern is also expected to wear a “comic-accurate” suit. His involvement could connect Man of Tomorrow with the events of Lanterns. It would also make John Stewart an important part of the DCU’s expanding crossover story.
Adria Arjona is reportedly set to play Wonder Woman. However, DC Studios has not officially announced her role. Captain Atom is also expected to appear. According to the report, the character could receive some form of medal or military decoration.
Superman’s Story Remains Personal
The reported crossover will not be the only focus of the movie. According to the report, Man of Tomorrow includes a scene involving Clark Kent and his father, Jonathan Kent.
Clark reportedly helps Jonathan, who is in a wheelchair. The scene could add an emotional element to the larger DCU story. It may also allow Gunn to explore Clark’s relationship with his family.
Man of Tomorrow’s Major Changes Could Expand the DCU
The reported lineup makes the movie one of the DCU’s biggest projects yet. The film brings together characters from different corners of the developing universe. Superman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Lex Luthor, and other DC characters are reportedly involved.
That would make the project much larger than a traditional Superman sequel. However, several details remain unconfirmed. DC Studios has not officially announced every reported character, casting detail, or story element.
Man of Tomorrow’s Cast
Man of Tomorrow stars David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Xolo Maridueña as Blue Beetle, and other DCU characters joining the crossover.
