- Production is underway in Atlanta with Warner Bros. targeting a July 9, 2027 theatrical release.
- David Corenswet returns as Superman with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, joined by Rachel Brosnahan, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, and Maria Gabriella de Faria.
- The cast points to wider DC links as Aaron Pierre reprises Green Lantern John Stewart from HBO’s Lanterns and Isabela Merced returns as Hawkgirl.
