Shortly after Superman came out, it was confirmed that David Corenswet will reprise his role as Clark Kent in a sequel. The director, who is also co-head of DC Studios, initially referred to the follow-up as Man of Tomorrow, but has since said he prefers to avoid overly descriptive titles like “Superhero Name: Another Name.” The film has also recently added new cast members.

Before the movie Man of Tomorrow hits cinemas, David Corenswet will reprise his role as Superman in Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock. Supergirl is scheduled for release on June 26th, and Corenswet will make a brief appearance, similar to his cameo in Superman.

The show will focus on the everyday lives of the staff at the Daily Planet, featuring a large cast with Skylar Gisondo playing Jimmy Olsen. David Corenswet, who plays Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, won’t be in many episodes, likely because their characters are dealing with larger storylines elsewhere.

Man of Tomorrow is expected to arrive in theaters on July 9, 2027.
