THR reports that Sinqua Walls has joined the cast of James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, which is currently shooting in Atlanta. As is tradition, details on who Walls might be playing are “being kept in a lead-lined safe.” Any ideas?
Walls is best known for Friday Night Lights, The Blackening, White Men Can’t Jump, Carry-On, Power, and American Soul.
While speaking on the Howard Stern Show last year, Gunn dropped a few story details. “It’s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” he said. “It’s more complicated than that but. It’s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie. I relate to the character of Lex, sadly. I really wanted to create something extraordinary with the two of them. I just love the script so much.”
David Corenswet will be back as Superman alongside Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Lars Eidinger is set to play Brainiac, which I’m pretty excited about, and Lanterns star Aaron Pierre will make an appearance as John Stewart. Also expected to return are Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher.
Matthew Lillard recently joined the cast in an undisclosed role, and Adria Arjona has also signed up. She’s believed to be playing Maxima, but that hasn’t been confirmed, leaving many fans hoping she will be playing Wonder Woman.
The film is set to be released on July 9, 2027.
Before we get to Man of Tomorrow, the next DCU project to be released in theaters will be Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, alongside Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) as Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone) as Krem of the Yellow Hill, David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) as Zor-El, Emily Beecham (1899) as Alura, and Jason Momoa as Lobo, a role he has longed to play for years. The film will hit theaters on June 26.
And there’s also Lanterns on HBO on August 16, followed by the Clayface movie on October 23.
