James Gunn isn’t wasting any time getting David Corenswet’s Clark Kent back on the big screen. This week he announced his Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, will arrive in theaters in the summer of 2027. That’s a much faster turnaround than we expected. Now the DCU’s creative head has revealed we will get a big clue for what to expect from his follow-up very soon. He said Man of Tomorrow‘s “prequel,” Peacemaker season 2, leads “directly” into the film.
DCU co-CEO and prolific poster James Gunn took to social media to promote this week’s episode of Peacemaker. His message included what appeared to be a playful reference to his announcement earlier in the week. He wrote, “Watch the Man of Tomorrow Prequel AKA #Peacemaker Season 2, airing a new episode tonight on @HBOMax at 9 pm EST/6 pm PST.”
On it’s own that sounds like a fun little joke. But when (as IGN noted) a commenter suggested he was just kidding, Gunn confirmed he wasn’t. He said Peacemaker‘s latest story will “directly” lead into his Superman sequel.
What exactly could that mean? Considering Peacemaker season two is partly taking place in a parallel dimension—after Gunn’s Superman featured a pocket dimension—the possibilities are quite literally infinite. It could involve anyone or anything. However, this also might reveal something about other DCU projects coming out between Peacemaker season 2 and Man of Tomorrow.
They could all be much more of a standalone story than we expected. That includes major releases like the Supergirl and Clayface movies and the HBO Lanterns series.
If Peacemaker leads directly-directly into Man of Tomorrow there won’t be space for other stories in-between. Maybe. Forget the multiverse. When the DCU has already featured Christopher Smith killing Christopher Smith, anything is possible.
