James Gunn has announced on Instagram that the next film in his Superman saga will be titled “Man of Tomorrow” and is planned for a July 9, 2027, release.

Gunn confirmed in a Hollywood Reporter interview that he has completed a treatment for the story and is now working on a screenplay.
“I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the ‘Superman Saga. I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”
Although Superman will play a major role, this film isn’t considered a direct sequel—Gunn instead sees it as the next chapter in his broader Superman Saga within the new DC Universe. It follows Supergirl and Clayface in the studio’s roadmap, leading directly into this highly anticipated chapter.
