A recently released set video from the filming of Man of Tomorrow offers fans a glimpse into a tense and violent encounter between Superman and Lex Luthor, sparking a flurry of reactions online.

The footage, shared by James Nobbe on Facebook, features David Corenswet’s Superman engaged in a fierce physical altercation with Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. In the clip, Lex is shown on the ground in his comic-accurate Warsuit, while Superman appears to be delivering multiple strikes.

Man of Tomorrow is an upcoming DC Universe film written and directed by James Gunn. It acts as a sequel to Superman (2025) and is the fourth major installment in the new DCU lineup. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane. The cast also features Skyler Gisondo, Isabela Merced, Frank Grillo, María Gabriela de Faría, Sara Sampaio, Milly Alcock, and others.

The film follows Superman and Lex Luthor as they are compelled into an uneasy alliance when a greater threat emerges in the form of Brainiac, a superintelligent alien android from the planet Colu. Despite their history as adversaries, the two are expected to collaborate to confront this new menace.

James Gunn first announced his plans for a continuation of Superman (2025) in June 2025. The official title and initial story details were revealed later that year. Filming for Man of Tomorrow commenced in April at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional production occurring in the United Kingdom and Cincinnati, Ohio. The shoot is projected to continue through mid-2026.

The film is currently slated for release on July 9, 2027, by Warner Bros. Pictures and will be part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

This newly surfaced video adds another layer of excitement around the project, showcasing a more intense and physical aspect of Superman and Lex Luthor’s rivalry. As fans await official plot details, moments like this only amplify speculation about how their uneasy partnership will be portrayed on screen.
