The announcement was accompanied by an image taken from the comics showing Superman facing Lex Luthor In combat armor, leaving little doubt about the direction of the film.
After the failure of his plan involving a clone in the first film released this summer, Luthor (embodied by Nicholas Hoult) seems determined to directly confront the steel man with an equivalent power, in a bionic armor at the Iron Man.
This second chapter will be part of a calendar responsible for DC: it will be preceded in 2026 of Supergirl (directed by Craig Gillespie with Milly Alcock) and body horror film Clayface (Signed James Watkins, written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, with Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie).
Note that Man of Tomorrow will come out before The Batman Part II de Matt Reeves, expected for October 2027.
In any case, this fast green light from Warner Bros. confirms the total confidence of the studio towards James Gunn.
With more than $ 611 million harvested at the world box office this summer, Superman has established itself as the biggest superheroic success of the year.
We will recall that a decade ago, the Man of Steel De Zack Snyder had not been entitled to a direct suite. Man of Steel 2 had been abandoned in favor of an intrigue with Batman as a antagonist, giving Batman V Superman: dawn of justice (2016).
