When Will 'Superman: Man of Tomorrow' Release?
Gunn's news also indicates a July 9, 2027, release date.
What's interesting is that Gunn also revealed that his slate of "Superman" films will aptly be titled the "Superman Saga," and points to the idea that there will be more than one sequel in the grand DCU.
"I've already finished the treatment for the next story in what I'll call the 'Superman Saga,'" Gunn told The Hollywood Reporter last month at the premiere for his TV show Peacemaker. "I'm working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today."
Gunn had previously stated that "The Batman: Part II" and the "Superman" sequel would be the "likely" next films in the DCU. However, "Supergirl" arrives in June 2026, and "Clayface" will debut Sep. 2026.
The latter of which has some mystery tied to its inclusion in the DCU. "Clayface" could end up being a villain that appears in the DC Elseworlds universe that contains Matt Reeves' led Batman films.
This is just speculation, as Gunn has not revealed whether or not the horror-inspired Clayface character has a place among the rest of the DCU plans.
For now, DC fans won't have that long to wait until the next "Superman" film flies onto screens.
