Overview
- Fan-shot videos and photos from Atlanta this week show David Corenswet’s Superman physically attacking Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor while Hoult wears a fully practical green Warsuit.
- Leaked on-set audio attributed to a Brainiac stand-in demands that Metropolis hand over Lex Luthor or face destruction, a detail that has shaped early expectations of the film’s stakes.
- James Gunn and production have confirmed the Warsuit is 100% practical, highly mobile, and features a transparent ‘Lexiglas’ dome to protect Luthor’s head during clashes with Superman.
- Gunn has said Man of Tomorrow is set roughly two years after Superman, and official casting lists Lars Eidinger as Brainiac and keeps the film on track for a July 9, 2027 theatrical release.
- Reporters and outlets note the leaks are unverified production material that may include stand-ins or placeholder lines, so the footage should be treated as suggestive rather than definitive of the finished film.
