James Gunn has denied rumors that Skydance has screened his upcoming DC film Man of Tomorrow and ordered major changes, saying no one at the company has seen the movie.
In a post on Threads, Gunn addressed claims circulating online about the film’s development. He said several false rumors have emerged, including suggestions that Skydance executives have watched Man of Tomorrow and are demanding extensive changes to the project.
According to Gunn, the only people who have seen the film are DC Studios co-chairman Peter Safran and a small group of trusted friends and family. He dismissed reports suggesting otherwise as false.
The Man of Tomorrow Skydance rumors come shortly after a major leadership change at DC Studios. Following Skydance’s acquisition and merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, Gunn and Safran announced on November 9 that they would step down as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios, effective December 1.
Both executives are expected to return to more direct filmmaking roles while remaining creatively involved in their existing projects. That includes Gunn’s continued work on Man of Tomorrow, which is currently in post-production.
Skydance CEO David Ellison has appointed former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham as the new president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. Latcham will officially take over on December 1, replacing the leadership structure previously headed by Gunn and Safran.
It remains unclear whether Latcham intends to make changes to the DC film and television slate developed under Gunn.
Man of Tomorrow is written and directed by Gunn and serves as a direct sequel to 2025’s Superman. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 9, 2027, with principal photography having wrapped in August 2026.
David Corenswet returns as Clark Kent, while Nicholas Hoult reprises his role as Lex Luthor. The story will see the two rivals form an uneasy alliance against Brainiac, with Luthor also appearing in his Warsuit.
The cast includes Rachel Brosnahan, Milly Alcock, Aaron Pierre, and Xolo Maridueña. The film will also introduce Wonder Woman to the DC Universe.
