A single on-set photo can change the rumor mill overnight. That’s exactly what happened when a new behind-the-scenes image from Man of Tomorrow surfaced, showing David Corenswet suited up as Superman — and possibly mid-flight.
The snapshot was shared on X and quickly circulated among fans hungry for any sign of DC’s next big chapter. Corenswet appears to be wearing the same costume first glimpsed in the 2025 Superman rollout. Something is clutched in his hand. What it is remains a mystery, likely to be finished in post-production with VFX, but the pose suggests he’s lifting upward while carrying an object — a small detail that sparks big questions.
James Gunn has already given us a cinematic jolt by unveiling a first look at Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor wearing an armored battle suit crafted for this story. Gunn has hinted that this won’t be a straight hero-villain face-off. Instead, an uneasy alliance forms when Superman and Luthor confront a shared, apocalyptic-level threat.
That threat is Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger. It will mark the cybernetic nemesis’s first full-scale appearance in a live-action Superman movie, and the stakes look sky-high. Expect city-sized danger, cold intellect, and a villain whose scale forces rivals to cooperate.
Man of Tomorrow’s ensemble reads like a checklist of contemporary DC talent returning to the screen: Millie Alcock again as Supergirl; Rachel Brosnahan stepping in as Lois Lane; Frank Grillo in the role of Rick Flag; Nathan Fillion portraying Guy Gardner; Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; and Aaron Pierre taking on John Stewart, the Green Lantern. The cast list suggests this will be a franchise-spanning event with room for character-driven beats amid blockbuster set pieces.
The image is small. The implications are not. Fans will dissect every seam of that suit, every prop, and every shadow in hopes of clues about tone, timeline, and how Gunn plans to weave classic DC threads into something new. Will Superman and Lex form a lasting truce? Will Brainiac push the world past the point of no return? Only time — and the next set photo — will tell.
The film is slated to hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
