As seems usual in his career, it is James Gunn who is usually personally responsible for revealing big news about his projects. Looking forward to this sequel superman who writes and directs (and supports the film that ushered in the new DC Universe in style this summer), Gunn has been responsible for teaching us more about her. Communicate the title first (The man of tomorrow), then revealing that Superman and Lex Luthor (David Corenswet and Nicolas Hoult) would join forces and later identify the villain.
It will be Brainiac, a classic cartoon character who has already appeared in other series of supermanbut he never threatened the Man of Steel in a film as such. He’s someone so powerful and fearsome that he forced Superman and Luthor to establish an alliance, and apparently, he motivated an intense casting call that would have already ended. Gunn, also on social media, proclaimed that they already have an actor for Brainiac. And he’s not someone very well known.
“In our search for Brainiac to The man of tomorrow, Lars Eidinger shone Welcome to the DC Universe, Lars,” he wrote. Lars Eidinger is a German actor used to working in Europe, in the series Babylon Berlin. Although Superman: The Man of Tomorrow It wouldn’t be the first time he stops by Hollywood, since we saw him in the series The light you can’t see of Netflixand became a recurring contributor to Noah Baumbach.
Eidinger played supporting roles in both background noise as in Jay KellyBaumbach’s latest films (also produced by Netflix, and with Jay Kelly having been published very recently). Eidinger will be the big bad guy, we imagine him with heavy doses of makeup, in a film scheduled for release on July 9, 2027. Before, as we know, it will be the turn of Superman’s cousin, and Supergirl would happen June 26 of next year.
