Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Release Date & Cryptic Photo, DCU Batman Casting Wars, AI Actress INSANE Controversy — Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau go LIVE to break down the latest Marvel & DC news! The Russo Brothers just shared a mysterious “Look Hard…” photo from the Avengers: Doomsday (2026) set, teasing fans with hidden details while a major leak from SFX artist Gi Ponci revealed new suits for the X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit), Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm), Namor, Thor, Silver Surfer, and even Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. On top of that, reports say the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming this December, and Channing Tatum is hyping it up as the wildest Marvel movie yet — bigger than Blade's Deadpool & Wolverine cameo! Plus, Ryan Reynolds is reportedly developing his own mutants team-up movie for the MCU's next saga. Meanwhile in the DCU, everyone wants to be Batman — but who has actually gone on record? We'll run down the names fans are buzzing about, while James Gunn teased two unannounced movie scripts, one mystery TV project, and updates on Supergirl. In Marvel TV, Daredevil: Born Again writer Jesse Wigutow revealed a scrapped “bottle episode” pairing Punisher & Echo — would that have worked? Over on Max, Peacemaker Season 2 keeps building toward Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, while fans still debate the AI actress Tilly Norwood controversy. And for other wild news: Universal is developing The Mummy 4 with hopes for Brendan Fraser's return (but will audiences embrace it or reject another “old man sequel”?), and Lionsgate is scripting a Samurai Western spin-off in the John Wick Universe. Should Wick expand or bow out gracefully? We're covering it all tonight. Join the Reject Nation as we react, speculate, and debate across the MCU, DCU, and beyond — from Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Gunn's DC plans, The Mummy 4, John Wick, and the future of comic book movies!

In this episode of The Biollywood Podcast, the Executive Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense, Dr. Asha M. George, Research Principal, J.T. O'Brien, Policy Principal, Robert Bradley, and our new intern, Madi Kim, tackle James Gunn's Superman (2025), the first film in DC Studios' new shared universe. Premise: Gunn's film drops us into a world where Superman is already an established hero. After stopping Boravia from invading Jarhanpur, Clark faces backlash and is publicly outmatched by the “Hammer of Boravia,” later revealed as Ultraman, a clone orchestrated by Lex Luthor. Luthor unleashes a kaiju in Metropolis as a diversion, infiltrates the Fortress of Solitude with the Engineer, and broadcasts the restored second half of a genuine Kryptonian message from Jor-El and Lara, in which they urge their son to conquer Earth and “take many wives” to repopulate their species—sparking a rapid collapse in public trust.

We're back with our full Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 review—and this is the episode we've been waiting for! Titled “Ignorance Is Chris,” this chapter delivers big surprises, sharp pacing, and one of the most chilling alternate earth reveals in the entire DCU. Add in the perfectly executed Lex Luthor cameo, and we might finally be seeing Peacemaker Season 2 hit its stride. But before diving into the review, we kick things off with a cold open about superhero video games. We discuss the upcoming Insomniac Wolverine game (featuring villains like Omega Red and Sentinels), WB/DC's lack of strong video game titles, the cancellation of the Wonder Woman game, and our hopes for a truly great Superman game one day. Then it's on to Peacemaker 2x06! We break down the best scenes, action, and character moments while pointing out the season's ongoing flaws—like the overly short runtimes and pacing issues that could've been fixed by combining earlier episodes. Still, if Episodes 7 and 8 can match the quality of Episode 6, Peacemaker Season 2 could finish strong.

Lex Luthor, Earth-X Nazi World, Man Of Tomorrow (Superman 2), Avengers: Doomsday NEW SUITS Revealed, & Spider-Man Brand New Day Tombstone Announcement! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau go live to break down the biggest Marvel reveal yet—nearly 30 character designs from the Russo Brothers' massive MCU event film (2026). Makeup/SFX artist Gi Ponci's wrap gift promo art shows comic-accurate X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit), updated Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm), Thor's armored new look, Namor's green-scaled redesign, and Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in full Latverian armor. Plus: Sam Wilson's Captain America, Silver Surfer, Baby Franklin Richards, and more! We'll dive into what these suits mean for Marvel Phase 6 and Avengers: Secret Wars. We're also covering the HUGE casting news for Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) with Marvin Jones III as Tombstone, the brutal Harlem crime boss who has clashed with Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Cloak & Dagger. How will Tombstone compare to past villains like Green Goblin and Kingpin, and does this signal Black Cat or Mister Negative joining the MCU? Finally, we recap Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6, featuring John Cena's Peacemaker, the Earth-X Nazi world reveal, and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor cameo teasing Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2027). James Gunn is laying heavy groundwork for the DCU's future, tying directly into the upcoming Superman film starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. Expect hot takes, deep dives, theories, and live chat interaction across both Marvel and DC fandoms. Stick around for breakdowns, Easter eggs, and speculation on Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peacemaker Season 2, and the road to Man of Tomorrow.

Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 6, “Ignorance Is Chris,” and why the “better world” finally shows its cracks. From the diner photo that warps, to Harcourt and Chris opening up in an interrogation room, to Vigilante meeting his Earth X counterpart, this episode clicks into place. We also hit Rick Flag Sr.'s prison visit with Lex Luthor, the Sons of Liberty twist, and the hallway tells that confirm where we are. It is a tense, funny, uneasy chapter that sets up a high-stakes sprint to the finale. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and episode plan 00:23 Housekeeping, L.A. Comic Con updates, why last week skipped 00:44 Frank's knee update and getting back on mic 01:01 The big swing lands: “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags” 01:19 Diner scene breakdown and the melting-faces photo 02:01 The inevitability of the reveal and why the vibe felt off 02:28 At Adrian's place: mom cameo, “secret room,” evidence stash 03:33 The Beanie Baby closet and recreating the portal 04:06 Back in the portal room: the neighbor-alien and why it matters 04:44 Sneaking the Smith mansion and the rising tension 05:20 Harcourt's snow globe stall, the car ride with Keith 06:10 Music clues in this world, no rap, the whitewashed timeline 06:33 Eagly raid in the kitchen, the mess to clean up 06:55 Vigilante meets Vigilante, animal “facts,” and the glasses tell 08:12 Sons of Liberty inversion and why Alt Adrian hates Peacemaker 09:39 Rick Flag Sr. visits Lex Luthor at Belle Reve 10:38 The deal for portal tech and the DCU bridge it hints at 11:19 Harcourt and Chris finally say the quiet part out loud 12:40 Adebayo's walk, “one got out,” and the street chase 13:59 Auggie ambushes Economos at the mansion 14:47 Alt Harcourt flips the switch at A.R.G.U.S. 15:08 The flag with a swastika and the words that land like a punch 15:47 Wrap up, what 6 through 8 now promise, social plugs and sign-off Key Takeaways The episode earns its dread by letting small details stack until the Earth X truth can no longer be ignored. Vigilante meeting himself is both the funniest stretch and honest character work that reframes his bravado. The Harcourt and Chris scene gives the alt-world twist emotional weight and nudges their relationship into something healthier. Rick Flag Sr. and Lex Luthor open the door to wider DCU stakes without hijacking the episode. Adebayo's street sequence and the desk flag reveal are the gut checks that make the cut to black land. Quotes “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags.” “One got out! It's a black.” “This is your perfect world.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, leave a rating, and share the episode with a friend who is watching along.

Key narrative decision to depict Superman as a good but misguided character shaped by Russian upbringing and Soviet-era values was emphasized by Case and J. Mike, highlighting his susceptibility to manipulation by figures like Stalin and Brainiac. The movie diverges from the comic by portraying Lex Luthor as a morally positive U.S. leader, married to Lois Lane, who is fully integrated into his political life. This creative choice aimed to balance the story by making Lex a relatable protagonist, reinforcing a pro-American slant, likely influenced by current political climates. The film's thematic focus on Superman's idealism clashing with harsh realities underlines his internal conflict and the consequences of unchecked power. Market-wise, this adaptation seeks to draw in audiences interested in alternate superhero narratives with geopolitical undertones, broadening Superman's appeal beyond typical fans. The three-act structure reflecting phases of Superman's evolution (young idealist, political figure, and authoritarian leader) was retained, but with streamlined storytelling to fit the film's 90-minute format (19:17). Original elements like the character Svetlana were introduced to establish Superman's early influences and set the tone for his eventual manipulation. The film's use of Soviet-era iconography and Gregorian chants enhances immersion and aids audience understanding of the setting. This structure supports clear character arcs and audience engagement despite the complex political backdrop. Character and Relationship Dynamics The film notably improves on character relationships, particularly between Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, making them a committed and supportive couple, which contrasts sharply with the comic's estranged dynamic (21:52). Lois Lane's evolution from independent journalist to First Lady strengthens the political narrative and adds emotional depth to the story. Her conflict with Lex over the “Superior Man” experiment adds dramatic tension while humanizing both characters. Lois serves as a moral anchor, showing resistance to some of Lex's harsher decisions, preserving her agency within the political framework. This dynamic was designed to maintain audience sympathy and avoid alienating fans of classic Lois Lane. The characterization of Wonder Woman diverges from the comic by presenting her as a lesbian ambassador skeptical of men, which adds a feminist layer but also generated mixed reactions due to its repetitive messaging (13:11). Her breaking of the lasso of truth and subsequent power drain symbolize disillusionment with Superman's regime. The film portrays Wonder Woman as more powerful than Superman and as a conflicted figure torn between loyalty and opposition. These changes serve to enhance the narrative's emotional stakes and highlight ideological divides within the Soviet leadership. Batman's grimmer portrayal with willingness to accept collateral damage introduces a morally ambiguous antagonist motivated by personal loss, deepening the plot complexity (45:06). His vendetta against Superman is grounded in the death of his parents in a gulag, providing emotional weight to their conflict. The film reduces the supporting cast compared to the comic, focusing more tightly on core characters to enhance storytelling clarity. Political and Ideological Themes The film embeds a strong political subtext, portraying Superman as a tool of the Soviet state, subject to manipulation by Stalin and later Brainiac, exploring themes of authoritarianism and propaganda (59:14). The depiction of Stalin's regime and the gulags is stark, providing a critical lens on Soviet atrocities, which Superman initially ignores due to naivety (28:34). Superman's assassination of Stalin is a pivotal moment symbolizing a break from oppressive rule but also the beginning of his own moral decline. The film's anti-Russian bias reflects American perspectives prevalent at the time of production. This political framing underscores the dangers of absolute power and state control over individuals. The presence of Brainiac as a manipulative force amplifies the narrative of Superman's loss of agency, positioning Brainiac as the true power behind the Soviet regime in the latter acts (01:00:33). Brainiac's control enables technological advances but also enforces oppressive mind control, with Superman complicit but unaware of the extent. This adds a sci-fi layer illustrating how technology can be weaponized politically. Brainiac's role serves as both a plot device and a commentary on surveillance and control. The contrasting portrayal of Lex Luthor as a morally upright U.S. leader reinforces the ideological divide, positioning America as a counterbalance to Soviet authoritarianism (01:18:40). Lex's presidency and relationship with Lois symbolize American values of freedom and partnership. This ideological framing is strategic to appeal to Western audiences and to provide a clear antagonist-protagonist dynamic. It reflects the broader geopolitical tensions influencing superhero storytelling in the 21st century. Action and Superpower Depictions The film adapts classic superhero action with a focus on power limitations and ideological symbolism, notably through the use of red sun lamps to neutralize Superman's powers and the introduction of Superior Man as a Soviet weapon (47:48). The immediate loss and regain of Superman's powers under red sun exposure was acknowledged as a narrative expediency, despite known inconsistencies with canonical depictions (48:58). This mechanism facilitates key confrontations and heightens tension without complex exposition. The decision balances pacing needs of a 90-minute runtime against the need for recognizable superhero logic. The Superior Man character acts as a tragic figure whose destruction deepens Lois's conflict with Lex and underscores the moral costs of weaponizing superpowers (37:22). His portrayal as a lab creation rather than a fully human clone adds ethical ambiguity. This subplot strengthens the film's theme of sacrifice and unintended consequences in superhuman conflicts. The Green Lantern Corps assault was streamlined, with the film emphasizing the fight's intensity and Wonder Woman's intervention, contrasting with the comic's more fragmented depiction (01:11:00). The film's choice to present Wonder Woman as stronger than Superman visually reinforces her narrative significance. The fight sequences support the escalating stakes and demonstrate the combined forces opposing Soviet Superman. Production and Storytelling Choices The filmmakers made strategic decisions to adapt the comic's complex narrative into a cohesive, accessible screenplay that emphasizes character and political drama over spectacle (09:41). The introduction of original scenes such as the gulag encounter and Superman killing Stalin serve to heighten emotional impact and clarify political stakes early in the film (28:34). These scenes compensate for the comic's denser exposition by providing visual and emotional anchor points. The film balances storytelling clarity with maintaining the comic's core themes. The choice to omit or tone down certain comic elements, such as excessive narrative exposition and supervillain cameos, streamlines the plot for new audiences (01:14:44). This focus on fewer characters helps maintain narrative coherence and emotional resonance. The film aims to appeal both to comic fans and general audiences unfamiliar with the source material. The adaptation was influenced by modern political sensibilities and audience expectations, reflected in the more explicit feminist themes and clearer moral distinctions (13:11). These choices aim to update the story's relevance and broaden its appeal. The film's tone contrasts with the comic's edgier, more ambiguous style, favoring clarity and accessibility. Audience Reception and Legacy The podcast hosts unanimously recommend Superman Red Sun as a compelling and unique take on the Superman mythos, suitable even for non-fans due to its strong narrative and thematic depth (01:33:00). Nick and J. Mike highlight the film's ability to retain Superman's core ethics despite the alternate political setting, praising its nuanced portrayal of flawed heroism. The story's exploration of power, ideology, and morality offers rich material for discussion and reexamination of classic characters. Its accessibility makes it a useful entry point for audiences new to superhero stories or interested in political narratives. The film's balanced treatment of Lex Luthor and Lois Lane adds emotional investment and challenges traditional villain-hero dichotomies. This complexity enhances the film's value as a character-driven drama. The positive portrayal of Lex as a “good guy” is noted as a refreshing and deliberate creative decision. The upcoming interview with J. M. DeMatteis, writer of the animated movie, and the launch of the Trade School podcast series on comic trades indicate ongoing community engagement and content expansion around this material (01:39:10). These initiatives suggest sustained interest and potential for deeper exploration of comic adaptations. They offer platforms for fans and newcomers to connect over shared appreciation of graphic storytelling.

We're diving deep into The Long Walk—the chilling new Stephen King adaptation! In this episode, we deliver both a spoiler-free review and a spoiler-filled breakdown of the film.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesImages and video featuring promotional artwork, including a laser light show, of Marvel's Doctor Doom surfaced last week during Walt Disney Studios' Marketing Expo in Shanghai. While many fans and outlets of varying reputation and credibility were quick to assume and label the imagery as officially tied to Avengers: Doomsday and our first look of Robert Downey Jr in the role, there is nothing in the aforementioned marketing materials that brands the content as Marvel Studios'. Still, the concept art and accompanying light show are exciting as potential teases of what this highly anticipated version of the villain may look and feel like when he finally hits the big screen next December.In a completely unexpected turn of events during a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, James Gunn dished out more details surrounding his recently announced sequel to Superman, titled Man of Tomorrow, including an intended April 2026 slate to begin filming. The filmmaker shared, “It is a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” he said. “And it's more complicated than that. It's as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly.” On the other end of the DCU, during a red carpet appearance at the Emmys, Matt Reeves shared star Robert Pattinson's reaction to reading the long awaited script, saying “He's Batman, and if he doesn't like it, not good. I was super excited. I thought that he really would [like it] because the things that it does for his character, for Batman and for Bruce, have never been done before in this way. I had a feeling that he would respond in this way, but the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging.” It was a night of celebration for newcomer series at Sunday's 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, as HBO Max's rookie series The Pitt dominated the drama categories while Apple TV+'s The Studio swept comedy honors. Netflix's limited series Adolescence led the field with six trophies, including wins for writer-producer-star Stephen Graham, and HBO/HBO Max topped all networks with nine total Emmys, followed by Apple TV+ with seven. Notable firsts included Tramell Tillman becoming the first Black man to win Supporting Actor in a Drama for Severance, Seth Rogen claiming his first Emmy ever for The Studio, and The Penguin's Cristin Milioti bringing home the only award for the series for her portrayal of Sofia Falcone. The freshly merged Paramount/Skydance is exploring a potential bid to acquire all of Warner Brothers Discovery, according to the Wall Street Journal.Universal and Illumination have officially titled the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, taking its name from Nintendo's 2007 Wii game and setting an April 3, 2026 release date.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesRight after our episode last week, our pal James Gunn dropped big news on Wednesday - the next Superman film written by him will be called Man of Tomorrow. Gunn, David Corneswet, and others involved shared particular artwork by DC Comics President Jim Lee that showed Lex Luthor in a mech suit to make the announcement. In typical Gunn fashion, the DC Studios co-chair has teased this film isn't a direct sequel, but is the next installment in what he calls the “Superman saga.” The film's title is reminiscent of the Milly Alcock led Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which releases next year. In other DC movie news, Weapons director Zach Cregger addressed rumors that have been circulating about his involvement with a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Cregger called stories about him having written a treatment for the two iconic DC villains “blown out of proportion,” but did indicate that he has a couple of films he's interested in working on, though he hasn't spoken with James Gunn yet.At the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday, Ryan Reynolds finally admitted the internet's worst kept secret - that he was the one who leaked the original Deadpool test footage in 2014 to the world wide web. Reynolds went on to say that Fox simply didn't seem interested in releasing an R-rated superhero movie and his passion for the character led him to the extreme action, which he doesn't regret. Fans of Deadpool are likely forever grateful that Reynolds did what he did, which led to pressure on the studio to make the film a reality. In other questionable swings from stars both in front of and behind the camera, The Russos released a blurry image with the caption #Doomsday Is Coming via Instagram earlier today.No last rites are being read for horror at the box office this year, as the supposed final installment in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, raked in $84 million domestically this weekend for its opening. This massive box office marks the best for this franchise ever, and the third biggest opening for a horror film of all-time. Warner Brothers and New Line are laughing all the way to the bank, having projected a $35 million opening box office and the movie cost about $55 million to make. The film's global take as of today is $194 million. In other Conjuring news, a series in development at HBO Max set in the universe took a big step forward today, hiring Nancy Won as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, who will write the series alongside Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires. The Office spin off The Paper, which debuted its first season last week has been renewed for a second season on Peacock.Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nia DaCosta's “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the follow up to this year's 28 Years Later. The film is set to release on January 16.Prime Video has confirmed rumors that Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner will play Lara Croft in its Tomb Raider series from creator, writer and co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Production on the series will begin in January.John C. McGinley has joined the cast of ABC's Scrubs reboot and will reprise his role as Dr. Perry Cox from the original series. He joins fellow returnees Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and Judy Reyes in the cast.The White Lotus creator Mike White and HBO have zeroed in on France as the location for the upcoming fourth season of the hit murder mystery comedy-drama series, sources tell Deadline.Two time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou has joined the cast of Amazon MGM's reboot of Highlander, the Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The first trailer for Rian Johnson's upcoming Knives Out film Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man has been released. The film is set for release in select theaters Nov. 26 before its streaming debut December 12.

Today we talk about Lena Luthor, or, well... we talk about TWO Lena Luthors, because that's the name of both Lex Luthor's sister AND his daughter who he named after his sister. They both have... a complicated relationship with him, of course.

SupermanSuperman's Box Office Triumph & DCU UpdatesThe DC Universe is taking shape, and it all starts with Superman. The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie's success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn't worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.Superman Box Office UpdateDomestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360This breakdown shows how crucial U.S. audiences remain for superhero films, even as international numbers grow.Variety and Deadline Report on Superman Profit MarginSuperman has an 8-week profit margin of about $125 million.It is the seventh-highest grossing film of the year.By comparison Man of Steel's profit margin was $42.7 million.We explain why domestic is still more profitable to studios than international.Gunn Relieved by Superman SuccessJames Gunn admitted that Superman's success was critical for DC Studios:“If Superman didn't work, I'm the head of DC Studios! What am I gonna do now? We have Supergirl, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Clayface—they're all connected to this!”PeacemakerSuperman's Visit to the Peacemaker SetA behind-the-scenes photo dated July 23, 2024 sparked speculation. David Corenswet appeared on the Peacemaker set in full Superman costume while James Gunn was splitting directing duties between Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Fans believe this signals a direct connection between the two projects, with Superman potentially playing a meaningful role in Peacemaker Season 2. We disagree somewhat.How Would Fleury See Hawkgirl?Fans asked James Gunn online what Fleury might think of Hawkgirl. His playful response:“I think he'd wonder what's wrong with her head and wouldn't really know.”Yes the Grammar Fuck Up Was IntentionalJames Gunn confirmed that the infamous “Your the best” typo was intentional, sparking fan discussion. He also joked about Harcourt's “Thirstcourt” side in her texts, keeping his trademark banter alive.ClayfaceClayface – Gotham City Map Easter EggsA leaked Gotham City Transit Authority map revealed nods to Batman lore: Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemical, the Iceberg Lounge, Blackgate Penitentiary, Gotham Knights sporting complex, Wayne-owned buildings, Kane Estate, and Kane Memorial Bridge. Fans debated similarities to real-world Manhattan maps (like Hell's Kitchen).Man of Tomorrow – Superman Sequel AnnouncedJames Gunn confirmed Man of Tomorrow hits theaters July 9, 2027, almost exactly two years after Superman. Gunn clarified:It's not titled Superman 2, just Man of Tomorrow.The film will explore Superman and Lex Luthor's relationship, with Nicholas Hoult's Luthor donning the green-and-purple Warsuit.Speculation: Possible villains may be Bizarro, Brainiac, or Zod.Gunn emphasized his collaborative writing process and ongoing rewrites.People Responding to James GunnThe Man of Tomorrow announcement drew reactions from DC stars and creators:Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl): “See You Soooon”Aaron Pierre (John Stewart): “Yes, Indeed!”

Atom Man vs. Superman (1950) was the sequel to the 1948 Superman serial and used the original actors in their roles again.  This time, however, the villain is a good one- Lex Luthor! We take a look at Lex Luthor's first time appearing in a live action series and, in my opinion, this is the best Luthor to-date!  Atom Man... not so much.

James Gunn's Superman: Man of Tomorrow is starting to take shape, and we're breaking down what we DO and DON'T know about the highly anticipated DCU film. From the confirmed script and locked 2027 release date to the official lineup of Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, we cover all the facts straight from Gunn. We also explore the major rumors, including Superman teaming up with Lex to take on Brainiac, the possible connection to Peacemaker Season 2, and theories about what the title “Man of Tomorrow” really means — whether it points to Conner Kent, Lois's pregnancy, or something bigger.Will Gunn deliver Brainiac on the big screen? And just how important is Lois Lane to this new Superman saga?
