Superman will be returning to theater screens in 2027.
DC Studios head honcho and director of this summer’s Superman has announced that the follow-up to that film is currently being fast-tracked for release on July 9, 2027 in a social media post which included a piece of artwork of Superman and his nemesis Lex Luther drawn by DC Comics chief creative officer Jim Lee. Titled Man Of Tomorrow, it will see the return of David Corenswet as Superman, aka Clark Kent and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Presumably, Rachel Brosnahan will be back as Clark’s co-worker/girlfriend Lois Lane as well as a number of the other supporting characters seen in the first film.

Gunn has been stating for the last month or so that he had completed a sixty-page outline for his Superman follow-up, without giving any further details as to when it could possibly fall in the studio’s production pipeline.
Currently, Warner and DC Studios’ DC Universe franchise has Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl set for June 26, 2026 and James Watkins’ body horror title Clayface scheduled for September 11, 2026. Additionally, it has the second season of Peacemaker on HBO with the series Lanterns set for debut early next year.
Superman, which rebooted Warner Brothers DC Comics-based cinematic universe, managed to pull $611 million at the box office, marking it as the highest-grossing comic-book movie of 2025.
