Superman’s Man of Tomorrow continues to expand its cast, and now, a surprising DC cyborg is reportedly joining the sequel. A new rumor strongly suggests that a major Peacemaker character will return with an upgraded role, further strengthening the film’s ties to the wider DCU.
Man of Tomorrow Adds Sasha Bordeaux to the DCU’s Growing Ensemble
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineHello on X, actress Sol Rodríguez will reprise her role as Sasha Bordeaux in Man of Tomorrow. Her comeback not only surprises fans but also signals a deeper narrative connection to Peacemaker Season 2.
In the series, Sasha Bordeaux served as an A.R.G.U.S. agent before joining the newly formed agency Checkmate. Furthermore, the Season 2 finale briefly showcased her cybernetic enhancements, hinting at a significant evolution for her character. Because of these developments, her return in Man of Tomorrow appears to be more than just a cameo.
Returning Cast Strengthens Man of Tomorrow’s DCU Connections
The sequel is shaping up to be a major ensemble piece, especially with several established DCU characters returning. Confirmed cast members include:
Confirmed Returning Actors
- David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman
- Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor
- Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane
- Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl
- Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
Other Expected DCU Characters
- Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern/John Stewart (rumored)
- John Cena as Peacemaker (rumored)
Additionally, reports indicate that Superman and Lex Luthor will be forced into an unlikely alliance when confronted by a massive cosmic threat. Although many fans believe this villain to be Brainiac, DC Studios has not yet made anything official.
James Gunn Teases How Man of Tomorrow Connects to the DCU
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has emphasized how deeply connected Man of Tomorrow is to the wider DCU and Peacemaker. He explained,
“Everything’s connected, so there is a story here that we’re telling throughout the DCU.”
Gunn further described the film by saying it is,
“As much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie,”
Highlighting Lex Luthor’s expanded role in the story.
Gunn Addresses Villain Speculation
Gunn also acknowledged the widespread speculation surrounding the film’s villain. Speaking about fan theories, he said:
“Listen, of course I wasn’t unaware that when I posted the cover of the script there was going to be discussion around that particular topic… but I think we’ll hold off from what exactly is happening.”
His comments only increase the anticipation surrounding the film’s main antagonist.
Fans can expect answers soon, as Superman: Man of Tomorrow is officially scheduled for release on July 9, 2027. This highly anticipated sequel promises to deliver not just epic superhero action but also deeper storytelling that connects multiple DCU projects.
With returning favorites like Superman, Lex Luthor, and the newly confirmed cyborg Sasha Bordeaux, the film is shaping up to be a pivotal chapter in the DC Universe. Industry insiders suggest that the movie will explore unexpected alliances, intense conflicts, and the larger threats that challenge both heroes and villains alike.
