Superman’s Equal: The Hammer of Boravia Revealed in DCU Film

BBG News

In James Gunn’s new DC Universe, one particularly powerful villain is set to appear, matching Superman’s strength. This character will be introduced for the first time in the upcoming film titled “Superman.” Gunn’s initial live-action production within the DCU franchise boasts a total of eight principal antagonists, with Nicholas Hoult portraying Lex Luthor as the main leader.

In the upcoming movie “Superman,” it’s officially revealed that the antagonist known as The Hammer of Boravia possesses strength equivalent to Superman. Previous promotional materials hinted at this power disparity, but a recent publication unequivocally confirms that they will be evenly matched in terms of raw physical power.

A new book called “SUPERMAN: Friends and Foes!” was released in collaboration between DC Studios and Random House Children’s Books. This book offers insights into various characters from Superman, featuring both heroes and villains who will appear in the upcoming DC Universe movie. The book provides official details about these characters.

In the portion about the Hammer of Boravia (as mentioned by @DCPRIMETV through X), it’s clear that this character is a formidable villain, comparable in strength to Superman. Yet, the details provided don’t disclose where his powers originate from, leaving their source shrouded in mystery.

The origin of his strength is unknown, yet the villain known as the Hammer of Boravia boasts power equal to that of Superman!

In the teaser for the movie Superman, it’s revealed that the Hammer of Boravia will clash with Superman at some stage in the film. The footage shows us that the Hammer of Boravia is equipped with flying capabilities and the ability to use heat vision, similar to Superman.

In the preview, the might of the Hammer of Boravia was vividly shown, with Superman appearing to struggle during their confrontation.

It’s yet to be announced who will play the role of Hammer of Boravia in the upcoming Superman film. However, David Corenswet is set to play Superman (Clark Kent), Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen. The movie is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.

The Hammer of Boravia’s Description Adds Fuel to One Superman Theory and Disproves Another

The formal explanation of the Hammer of Boravia offers a glimpse to fans of the hero’s abilities, yet subtly hints at one prevalent theory potentially being accurate, whereas another widely-held speculation may not transpire.

The merchandise associated with Superman hinted that the Hammer of Boravia might be portrayed as another antagonist disguised within a costume in the upcoming movie. More specifically, when a Funko Pop! figure for the Hammer of Boravia was unveiled, it shared the same serial number (583) with Ultraman’s Funko Pop!, suggesting that the Hammer of Boravia and Ultraman could be one and the same character.

To support this hypothesis, the Ultraman Funko Pop! features a Chase label too. This marking is exclusively given to Funko figurines that represent alternative versions of existing Funko figures.

The fact that the Hammer of Boravia, as depicted in the Superman Step into Reading book, shares the same strength as Superman lends credence to the idea that the Hammer could be Ultraman. Since Ultraman serves as a counterpart to Superman in the source material, this would account for their matching power levels.

The depiction of the Hammer of Boravia in the book lends credence to the idea that it could be Ultraman, but it simultaneously contradicts a widely held belief regarding the character’s identity.

Some spectators are suggesting that the Hammer of Boravia might represent Milly Alcock as Supergirl. This hammer shares several traits with Supergirl, and it’s been announced that Alcock is set to appear in ‘Superman’.

Contrarily, the description of the Hammer of Boravia appears to suggest that the character won’t be Supergirl, given it’s referred to as masculine.

There’s a possibility that the Hammer of Boravia might represent a different character instead of Ultraman or Supergirl in the upcoming movie. Yet, based on current speculations, it appears increasingly probable that we may find out that Ultraman is indeed the Hammer of Boravia once the film is unveiled.
