SUPERMAN: Rumored Post-Credits Scenes Details Leak... But Can They Be Trusted? - Possible SPOILERS

Following the most recent test-screenings for James Gunn's Superman, supposed details of the movie's post-credits scenes have been doing the rounds online.

Just in case this is legit, here's your spoiler warning.

According to Film Threat, the DCU reboot will include two stingers. The first is said to introduce the villainous Brainiac, while the second features an appearance from Lanterns star Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan.

There's (understandably) been quite a bit of scepticism about this info, and Daniel Richtman has heard that "none of the Superman test screenings so far have featured the post-credits scene."

As exciting as the prospect of Brainiac being set up as the next threat the Man of Steel will face may be, we wouldn't put too much stock in this. Superman will most likely feature at least one post-credits scene, but be wary of anyone claiming to know what it will entail until much closer to the movie's release.

Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted earlier this year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out an updated synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

Really I'm just waiting for Josh to let us know if Superman dies or not a week before the movie is out.

@TheFinestSmack - to be fair, you'd yell at him if he didn't spoiler tag "Superman confirmed to be Kryptonian!"

I go to political sites, and I don't see anyone promote the liberals more than that guy. He says the words "Liberal", "Liberals" or "woke" every other post. Kalama Harris wasn't even this Liberal lol

Honestly , I could see a Brainiac tease for the post credits scene in this…

My pick would be Sean Harris.

@MisterBones -
" like it’s life depends on it "

It kinda does in a way, CBM.com isn't a news site in the typical sense, they VERY rarely get news of their own, they just repost everyone else's stories and scoops, if they stopped doing that the site would be dead.

They don't have the credibility, or skill, to be their own standalone news source.

These things are the kiss of death for DC movies. Still waiting for Ryan Reynolds to take on Sinestro or Superman to fight Black Adam. Was the Bruce Wayne Amanda Waller confrontation post credits as well?

@GarthRanzz - Shazam got a sequel and they forgot about the Mr Mind post credit from the first one.

It should be called “We’ll Post Any News and Won’t Vet Anything”. Literally the scoops are from randos.

Okay.

But will they make really untowards jokes about children?

I'm not feeling this DC reality.

Maybe we should boycott Superman, HBO Max, and Supergirl.

Ans get a better third DCCU going.

One without liberal hackfraud nasty kid jokes making James Gunn.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Why is Gunn a hack fraud? The guy has had an uphill battle his whole career.

Cancel culture even canceled him for making edgy jokes about 9/11 and the holocaust 10 years ago, like everyone else who had Twitter in the early 2010s.

He has been very professional though generally speaking and doesn't make posts about politics.

Gunn is the best we are going to get at this point, why not let him alone?

Yeah that makes total sense this film is basically what Ironman was to the MCU.

@AllsNotGood - Funnily enough I agree. I’m certain this will fail. It won’t live up to expectations. It will make money though.

I would love to see a tease of Brainiac. They could adapt Justice League story where Lex merges with Brainiac in a later movie. Seeing Hal would be great too.

I tend to believe Film Threat. Chris Gore is pretty reliable when it comes to things like this.

You may or may not agree with his opinions, but if he says something happens in a movie you can usually take it to the bank. And if he isnt sure then he usually doesn't mention it, ir he prefaces it by saying its not set in stone.
mountainman
mountainman - 5/20/2025, 2:08 PM
@CorndogBurglar - Gore has been around forever and knows a lot of people on the inside. His scoops tend to have a pretty high accuracy rate.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 5/20/2025, 2:17 PM
@mountainman - Yep, exactly my point. I would take what he says over any of these scooters. Mostly because he's not even a scooper. He mostly just gives his critiques/reviews about movies and the industry on general.

But when he DOES say something like this, its usually very reliable.

I remember watching this guy 20 years ago on G4 when he would do his movie reviews. I really like his content.

Makes sense as Superman has a limited rogue gallery, especially when you are trying to hook audiences on a sequel that probably won't happen, you'd need a villain like Braniac.

The Hal Jordan tease is just to tease the Green Lanterns TV series.

The Brainiac post credit stuff has been something rumored to be in every Superman movie going back to Superman Returns. I will be surprised if it happens lol.

for depth of plot and themes, a Metallo or Parasite on the other side of Superman would bring a less high stakes, more personal conflict for Superman, and more so to the citizens of Metropolis.

If you include some Intergang, Stagg, Lex, and Maxwell Lord, a conspiracy to uncover behind the scenes regarding both of these characters; this will give something the supporting cast to do.
Not to mention both bring Superman's powers down to a less event, world ending scenario. Parasite leeching Superman's powers, and memories, and maybe even his...honour...could be mined deeply for some nice Superman drama.

A smaller, more personal Superman film, focused on Metropolis and it's problems, would be welcome after the last 3,4 event sized Superman conflicts.

Braniac has never really interested me, other than his ties to Krypton's demise, and viewing Superman as a specimen.
