As filming continues on the Atlanta set of Man of Tomorrow, these latest photos spotlight Lex Luthor in his Warsuit getting thrown (or blasted?) through a wall.
Spoilers ahead.
Although Nicholas Hoult can be seen in a practical suit in some shots, most of the videos feature his stunt double being pulled backwards through a hole in the side of a building.
It was assumed that the villain must be facing off against a powerful foe in the scene, and there was speculation that it might be Brainiac, since we know Luthor will join forces with Supes to battle the alien cyborg at some point. However, a couple of blurry photos show the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) standing over his downed nemesis.
Another video shows a crowd of people swarming over a mysterious character before being flung into the air.
The plot of Gunn's Superman follow-up will focus on the Man of Steel (Corenswet) and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) putting their differences aside and joining forces to defend the planet against Brainiac (Lars Eidinger).
Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), and Maria Gabriella de Faria (The Engineer) have all been confirmed to return, and we recently learned that Aaron Pierre will reprise his Lanterns role as John Stewart.
Adria Arjona is also set to appear as Maxima (though there's a lot of speculation that she's actually been cast as Wonder Woman). It might be worth noting that Deadline lists the Andor star as Maxima in their casting reports, but THR only mentions that she has joined the cast.
"At its core, it’s about Clark and Lex," Gunn said in a recent interview. "I relate to both of them. I relate to Lex’s ambition and obsession — minus the murder. And I relate to Superman’s belief in people, his Midwestern values. They’re two sides of me."
Man of Tomorrow will hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
