DC's latest plans have been revealed, as it appears that James Gunn is gearing up to pit Superman against a formidable foe in 'Man of Tomorrow'. According to The Wrap, Brainiac will be the primary antagonist in the highly anticipated film, forcing an unlikely alliance between the iconic superhero and his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor.
The twist comes after Lex's imprisonment in the previous installment, where he finds himself teaming up with Rick Flag. In this new movie, it seems that even their animosity will take a backseat as they join forces to take down Brainiac - a character who has been a staple of Superman comics for decades.
Brainiac, a Coluan alien with incredible intelligence and technological prowess, has undergone significant changes since his introduction in the 1958 comic book 'Action Comics' #242. Despite his reworked character design over the years, he remains one of the most recognizable villains in the DC universe.
Gunn's decision to feature Brainiac as the main villain is not surprising, given his previous comments on Darkseid. The director has stated that he's looking to introduce new threats to the DC cinematic universe, leaving room for Brainiac to shine in 'Man of Tomorrow'.
Fans have been speculating about Brainiac's role in the film since Gunn shared a screenshot from the movie's script featuring an image of a brain on social media last year. While it was unclear at the time what this meant, fans quickly jumped to conclusions, and now it seems that those theories may have been correct.
The movie itself is currently set for release in 2027 and is expected to enter production in the spring next year. With Gunn at the helm, expectations are high for 'Man of Tomorrow', and the addition of Brainiac as the primary villain has many fans excited to see how this unlikely alliance will play out on screen.

, I'm loving the direction they're taking with Superman! Brainiac is such an iconic villain, it's about time he got some attention on the big screen. The idea of Lex and Rick teaming up is a game changer, it adds this whole new layer of complexity to their characters. Interesting 
how Gunn is shaking things up by introducing new threats to the universe, can't wait to see Brainiac in action!
. This just goes to show that sometimes even the most unlikely of alliances can be formed in the name of justice or whatever. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Superman and Lex Luthor teaming up? It's like the ultimate anti-hero move! 
But on a more serious note, this just shows how flexible and adaptable the DC universe is when it comes to its characters and storylines. I mean, we've seen Superman switch from being an ally of Superman himself, Lois Lane, to becoming an enemy... what's next? 
Maybe we'll see a team-up with some other old foes... or maybe this is just another clever move by James Gunn to shake things up in the DC cinematic universe. 
One thing's for sure, fans are gonna be on the edge of their seats waiting for this movie to drop! 
Can't wait to see Brainiac as the main villain in Man of Tomorrow! Interesting that Lex and Superman are teaming up against their own animosity for the sake of taking down a common enemy. Brainiac's character design has changed so much over the years, it'll be cool to see how they update his look for the big screen 
I mean Brainiac is like one of the most iconic villains in the DC universe, he's been around since the 50s! It's cool that Gunn is shaking things up and putting him front and center. I love how Lex and Superman are going to put aside their differences too, it's like they're finally going to be allies or something 
anyway, i'm hyped for man of tomorrow can't wait to see how they pull off this unlikely duo 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Superman take on this Coluan alien genius 
. One thing that's got me curious is how they're going to make Lex and Rick Flag's team-up believable 
. Still can't wait to see it all come together on screen! 
, another DC movie and we're stuck with a brainiac 
as the main bad guy? Like, come on James Gunn, can't you introduce us to some fresh villains instead of reusing old ones from comics? Brainiac's just so... tech-y 
. And what's up with the Lex Luthor thing? Can't they just leave that plot thread alone? It feels like a leftover from the previous Superman movie 
I loved how they changed him up from the comics but still kept the core of who he is as a character. it's so cool to see lex luthor teaming up with Rick Flag, I never saw that coming 
that's over 60 yrs ago! he's come a long way since then & his design changes have kept him lookin fresh
I think it's great he's shakin things up w/ this character choice
