Man of Tomorrow Cast Update Reveals Frontrunner Details for DCU’s Brainiac

A new online rumor suggests a possible leading candidate to play Brainiac in the upcoming film, Man of Tomorrow.

The upcoming movie ‘Man of Tomorrow’ is a sequel to the 2025 Superman film. Directed by James Gunn and scheduled for release in US theaters in 2027, it will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, both returning to their roles.

Recent reports from TheWrap confirm Brainiac will be the primary villain in the upcoming “Man of Tomorrow” movie. While fans have been speculating about who will play the role – with Matt Smith often mentioned – no official casting decisions have been made yet.

What is the rumored Man of Tomorrow cast update?

According to entertainment reporter Grace Randolph, James Gunn’s top choice for the role of Superman is an actor he’s collaborated with extensively in the past. Fans are heavily speculating it could be Dave Bautista, though Chris Pratt and Chukwudi Iwuji are also popular guesses.

Currently, this information is just a rumor and shouldn’t be taken as fact. While James Gunn hasn’t confirmed anything about who will play Brainiac, he’s publicly criticized Randolph’s reporting before, so it’s important to be cautious about this news.

The film Man of Tomorrow is currently set to premiere in US cinemas on July 9, 2027. It’s planned as the fourth movie in the new DC Universe created by James Gunn and Peter Safran, following films centered on Superman, Supergirl, and Clayface. However, its release order could change, as several other DC projects have been announced but don’t have confirmed dates yet.

Superman, meanwhile, is currently available to stream on HBO Max.
