Superman Officially Gets a New Look for ‘Man of Tomorrow’

Man of Tomorrow is less than a year away from its theatrical release, and David Corenswet has shared an interesting update about his character, Superman. Corenswet made his DC debut in James Gunn's Superman in 2025 before making a brief appearance in 2026's Supergirl. Now, he's set to team up with Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor in the upcoming 2027 sequel.

So far, a full plot synopsis for Man of Tomorrow has not been revealed, and no trailer has been released. However, it has been confirmed that the superhero movie will feature an unlikely team-up between Superman and Lex Luthor as they face Brainiac (Lars Eidinger).

The movie is also expected to feature the return of the Justice Gang, including Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). Additionally, Aaron Pierre will make his theatrical DC debut as John Stewart following his appearance in Lanterns, while Xolo Maridueña will reprise his role as Blue Beetle. Recently, in an interview with People, Corenswet discussed his return as the Man of Steel and revealed that Superman's costume will undergo a few minor changes in the upcoming feature. This is what he had to say:

"The suit itself is a little bit different. They re-engineered it to be slightly more functional and ready for a fight."

This isn't the first time Superman's costume has changed within a cinematic franchise. During Zack Snyder's tenure in the DC Extended Universe, Henry Cavill's Superman costume underwent several modifications. In a 2022 interview on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, the former Superman actor revealed that he chose to wear the Man of Steel costume when he reprised his role in Black Adam because of "the nostalgia attached to the suit."

'Man of Tomorrow' Will Explore the Relationship Between Superman and Lex Luthor

2025's Superman takes place roughly 30 years after Superman first arrived on Earth and explores Lex Luthor's hatred of the Man of Steel. Determined to prove that Superman is a threat to humanity, Lex uses his wealth, influence, and resources to turn the world against him. The movie established their rivalry, making their upcoming alliance in Man of Tomorrow even more intriguing. Now forced to work together against a common enemy, it remains to be seen how their complicated relationship will evolve. Corenswet teased this unlikely alliance in an interview with People, saying he enjoyed working with Hoult and that the upcoming movie will "delve into that relationship between Superman and Lex a little deeper." However, details about how their relationship will develop have yet to be revealed.
