The Next DCU Movie After Man of Tomorrow Is Already in the Works

James Gunn is already working on what comes after Man of Tomorrow, even though the next Superman film is still in post-production. The DC Studios co-CEO has started writing another film, suggesting that the new DC Universe is already moving beyond its first Superman story.

Gunn confirmed the update on October 4, 2026, during an exchange with a fan on Threads. When asked if he was ready to write his next film, Gunn replied, “Already in it,” adding that he “had to do something” while waiting for the assembly cut of Man of Tomorrow. The Superman sequel is scheduled to arrive in cinemas, but Gunn has not revealed the title, story or characters of the film he is currently writing.

What is James Gunn Working on?

Gunn has not revealed what the new film is about, leaving the project largely a mystery for now. He has also not confirmed whether it connects to Superman or another part of the DC Universe.

The only other detail is that the assembly cut of Man of Tomorrow is complete. This is the first rough version of the film, created by putting the filmed scenes together before further editing and post-production work.
