James Gunn has pushed back on rumors that Skydance has viewed and is reworking "Man of Tomorrow," the Superman sequel, following his departure as co-head of DC Studios.
Gunn and his partner Peter Safran announced they would not lead DC Studios as Skydance reshapes the business amid the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros.
Since the announcement, a number of stories have circulated about the studio’s future. One popular claim was that Skydance executives had screened the film and were planning sweeping edits.
"There are a lot of untrue rumors going around, but one of them is that Skydance has seen 'Man of Tomorrow' and that all sorts of sweeping changes are being made," Gunn wrote on Threads.
He added, "No one from Skydance has even seen the movie. The only people who have are Peter Safran and a very small trusted group of friends and family. So any stories around this narrative are false."
Production on "Man of Tomorrow" wrapped in August. Gunn marked the occasion with an upbeat social media post thanking everyone involved.
The film is scheduled for release July 9, 2027.
David Corenswet returns as Clark Kent/Superman, alongside Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Lars Eidinger plays Brainiac, Skyler Gisondo is Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio is Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced is Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion is Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi is Mister Terrific, and Adria Arjona is Maxima.
Aaron Pierre, who stars as John Stewart in HBO’s "Lanterns," will also make the jump to the big screen in the sequel. Xolo Mariduena is set to return as Blue Beetle, the role he first played in the 2023 film directed by Angel Manuel Soto.
