The brief footage features David Corenswet as Kal‑El and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, though the camera angle makes it hard to confirm if body doubles were used. Superman is seen thrashing Lex, knocking him to the ground while onlookers watch in shock.

Beyond the sheer spectacle, the set video hints at a strained partnership. The confrontation suggests that Lex’s new practical warsuit—recently detailed by Gunn on Instagram—doesn’t protect him from Superman’s fury. The suit, described as “100% practical,” allows Hoult to move freely, a point Gunn emphasized in recent social posts.
Implications for the story
According to the clip, the two heroes will eventually set aside their differences to battle a larger menace: Brainiac. While the exact plot remains under wraps, the visual of Superman possibly under Brainiac’s influence adds intrigue to the upcoming narrative.
Release details
Man of Tomorrow is slated for a theatrical release on July 9, 2027, as part of DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
