James Gunn Shuts Down Wonder Woman Rumors for “Man of Tomorrow”
Director James Gunn took to Threads today to address mounting speculation about his upcoming “Superman” sequel “Man of Tomorrow,” definitively confirming that Wonder Woman will not appear in the movie.
When asked directly about Wonder Woman audition leaks, Gunn was clear: “No. We are currently casting a female character in MoT. My only guess is scoopers are taking a stab at guessing that’s WW.” He similarly dismissed rumors about Batman auditions, stating that “all these rumors of Batman and Wonder Woman auditions are false.”
The director revealed that following the recent announcement of Brainiac, “most other sizable roles are characters we’ve already met,” with only smaller roles currently being cast. This suggests the film will focus primarily on previously introduced characters from the DC universe.
In other production news, Gunn confirmed that cinematographer Sam McCurdy, known for his work on “Shogun,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Dog Soldiers,” will be replacing Henry Braham as director of photography on the project.
As anticipation builds for “Man of Tomorrow,” Gunn’s direct engagement with fans on social media continues to clarify what audiences can—and cannot—expect from the highly anticipated film.
“Man of Tomorrow” is scheduled to hit theaters on July 9, 2027, with David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult returning as Superman and Lex Luthor. Brainiac has been confirmed as the film’s antagonist, with filming scheduled to begin this April in Atlanta.
