Recently, James Gunn announced David Corenswet is returning as Superman in Man of Tomorrow, which will be out on July 9, 2027.
Many have announced that the next movie is a sequel; however, the DC co-head has now clarified that this is not the case.
The clarification comes in a response to a question a fan asked the director on social media.
The fan’s question read, “I’m a little confused right now. Is this the same movie you’ve talked about in the past, the one where you said Superman had a major role but wasn’t exactly a sequel? Or is this a different movie, and this one is actually ‘SUPERMAN 2’?”
“Yes, yes, sorry,” he responded. “This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It’s not ‘Superman 2.’”
James’ reply, which he posted last month, is in line with what he previously said that the forthcoming is not a straight sequel.
“What I’m working on is in some way…I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes,” the filmmaker told EW. “But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.”
Superman, meanwhile, became a hit for the new DC, as the Man of Steel bagged over $600 million worldwide at the box office.
