Man of Tomorrow still set for July 2027 as Gunn and Safran leave DC Studios
DC has not announced any change to the release date...
Man of Tomorrow remains dated for July 9th, 2027, even as James Gunn and Peter Safran step down as heads of DC Studios.
The Superman sequel is already shot. Filming wrapped in August, and Gunn confirmed in early October that he had finished an assembly cut.
Gunn wrote and directed the film, and reports say he stays attached to it after leaving his executive role.
What could change
Jeremy Latcham, the former Marvel Studios producer, takes over as president and chief creative officer, with Gunn and Safran reportedly leaving on December 1st. That puts the film’s marketing in new hands.
Safran said in an earlier IGN interview that the promotion plan would be decided in the coming month, so Latcham’s team now owns that call. DC has not announced any change to the release date.
Bloomberg reported in early October that Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison backed Gunn and Safran’s 10-year DCU plan after visiting the Man of Tomorrow set. Weeks later, the pair are out. TheWrap noted before the shakeup that the film’s performance would shape DC’s long-term direction, and that now sits with a leadership team that did not greenlight it.
For now, the film’s future looks secure. The slate that follows it is the open question. The Naija Nerds will update this piece as DC confirms release plans or marketing changes.
