James Gunn’s Superman follow-up, Man of Tomorrow, starts filming next week, as confirmed by DC Studios co-head Peter Safran on Tuesday night at CinemaCon.
“Cameras roll next week on Man of Tomorrow,” Safran said at the end of the DCU presentation, which also included Supergirl footage and the Clayface trailer.
CinemaCon also featured a video message from James Gunn, David Corenswet, and Nicholas Hoult teasing the villain and what’s ahead in the movie.

David Corenswet teased, “Try saving the world with your sworn enemy.”
Nicholas Hoult added, “a new villain and an unlikely alliance.”

Taken together, the comments point to the story where Superman and Lex Luthor are forced into some kind of uneasy team-up while facing a larger threat, known to be Brainiac.
