James Gunn is teasing the return of a beloved Superman character in Man of Tomorrow.

DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Man of Tomorrow is scheduled to be released in United States theaters and IMAX next year. Written and directed by Gunn, the DCU movie serves as a follow-up to Superman. It will see David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult reprise their respective roles as Superman/Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.

The cast of Man of Tomorrow also includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart/Green Lantern, and Adria Arjona.

Which Superman character is James Gunn teasing for Man of Tomorrow?

On Threads, Gunn shared a photo of a sign that reads “Mr. Handsome Fan Club.” Gunn’s caption for the post reads, “We’re live.”

This seemingly confirms that Mr. Handsome will be part of Man of Tomorrow, which is now in production, following the character’s appearance in Superman. Played by Trevor Newlin, Mr. Handsome is a humanoid creature who was created and works for Lex Luthor.

Gunn previously said about the character, “When people ask me my favorite character from [Superman], it just might be Mr. Handsome. Lex created Mr. Handsome in a Petri dish when he was 12 – he was trying to make a human. He didn’t come out so well, but he just might be the only one in the world Lex has any true sentiment for, as evidenced by the photo on his desk. Our Mr. Handsome was portrayed by the wonderful [Trevor Newlin].”

Man of Tomorrow arrives on July 9, 2027.
