Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow has officially begun filming, with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn sharing a first-look image from the set on social media.
The image, posted by Gunn on April 20, 2026, features a metallic logo combining the Superman symbol with design elements associated with the villain Brainiac, a mid-game chessboard, an inmate identification badge bearing the name “A. Luthor” for Alexander Luthor, and a bag of Ruffles chips.
Gunn’s post confirms that production is underway on the sequel to Superman, which launched the new DC Universe under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, with Aaron Pierre set to appear as John Stewart / Green Lantern.
The logo in the image has drawn significant attention online for its fusion of the Superman shield with node-like patterns seen in various depictions of Brainiac. Eidinger was cast in the role of Brainiac in December 2025, making the visual a narrative confirmation of his character’s involvement.
