Filmmaker James Gunn said no changes have been proposed for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, despite reports that Skydance had proposed modifications.

Gunn shared his statement on Threads and said untrue rumors have been circulating online. "There are a lot of untrue rumors going around, but one of them is that Skydance has seen ‘Man of Tomorrow’ and that all sorts of sweeping changes are being made," he wrote.

He said no one from Skydance has seen the film. "No one from Skydance has even seen the movie — the only people that have are Peter Safran and a very small trusted group of friends and family. So any stories around this narrative are false," he said.

The film is a sequel to Superman, which was released in 2025. It is set to release on July 9, 2027, and will bring back David Corenswet to reprise his role as Clark Kent/Superman.

The film follows Superman and Lex Luthor (played by Nicholas Hoult) as they form a reluctant alliance to stop the alien threat of Brainiac. The film is produced by Gunn, alongside Peter Safran, Chantal Nong Vo, and Lars P. Winther.
