James Gunn announces principal photography is done on Man Of Tomorrow

James Gunn has announced that the principal photography for his upcoming Superman sequel, Man Of Tomorrow, is now complete. The director, who also serves as a key executive at the studio behind the film, shared the news on social media, showcasing his "brain trust" during the shoot and a picture of star Nicholas Hoult, seemingly enjoying a moment of relief after facing backlash for his casting choices.

Hoult's character, Lex Luthor, has been a source of controversy for the project, with fans debating the appropriateness of his portrayal. The film, which also features David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Edi Gathegi, and Lars Eidinger, is scheduled for a July 9, 2027 release, providing ample time for the cast and crew to finalize all details before its premiere.

While the completion of principal photography marks a significant milestone, the movie is far from finished, as the production team will spend the next year debating various aspects of the film, including whether it's acceptable to portray Superman in a certain manner. Gunn's dual role as both filmmaker and executive means he will likely transition back into the latter position, continuing his advocacy for the ongoing DC Universe series while simultaneously promoting his new Superman film.
