the SUPER: James Gunn Teases MAN OF TOMORROW Screenplay With A Potential Villain Tease

James Gunn has once again stirred excitement among DC fans with a new tease for Superman: Man of Tomorrow. The director shared the cover of the film’s second draft script, dated September 22, and what caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just the progress update but the striking imagery on the cover. The illustration features the outline of a human head with a detailed brain inside, sparking immediate speculation that this is a clever nod to Brainiac, one of Superman’s most iconic and formidable villains. While Gunn hasn’t confirmed anything outright, the visual choice feels far too specific to ignore, giving everyone a reason to believe Brainiac could finally make his big-screen debut.

Adding to the intrigue, Gunn captioned the post with “😈🤝😇 #MoT 7.9.27,” a mix of emojis and shorthand pointing to the film’s release date of July 9, 2027. The devil and angel emojis likely represent the moral clash at the heart of the story between Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and Superman (David Corenswet), with the handshake emoji representing them joining forces. With Gunn known for blending deep-cut references and bold storytelling, this little reveal has already set social media buzzing. If Brainiac is indeed the antagonist, fans may finally see a live-action showdown between Lex, Superman and the hyper-intelligent alien android that could push them to their absolute limits!
