Lars Eidinger To Star As Brainiac In James Gunn's SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW

German actor Lars Eidinger ("Jay Kelly", "Dead Language", "Dying") has signed on to star as the villainous Brainiac in the upcoming DC superhero movie "Superman: Man of Tomorrow" written and directed by James Gunn. The casting was confirmed by the filmmaker in an Instagram post: "In our worldwide search for Brainiac in 'Man of Tomorrow', Lars Eidinger rose to the top. Welcome to the DCU, Lars."

Created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino in 1958, Brainiac is a hyperintelligent alien android with a tyrannical thirst for absolute knowledge of the universe, who shrinks entire planets and either collects them in glass jars or exterminates them outright. This will be the character's first first appearance in a DC movie.

David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult will reprise their roles as Superman and Lex Luthor in "Man of Tomorrow". In September, Gunn announced that the "Superman" sequel will be released in theaters on July 9, 2027, and shared a photo of Lex Luthor and Superman that hinted at the two teaming up in the new installment.

Gunn's "Superman" was released on July 9, 2025 and grossed a total of $616.7 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing superhero film of 2025. With $354,1 million grossed in North America, it's currently the third film of 2025, behind "A Minecraft Movie" ($423.9 million) and "Lilo and Stitch" ($423.7 million).

SUPERMAN Sequel MAN OF TOMORROW Opens in Theaters July 2027

"Superman: Man of Tomorrow", the sequel to James Gunn' summer blockbuster "Superman", is set to hit theaters on July 9, 2027. The announcement was made by Gunn himself via X along with a comic book image of the red-caped superhero and Lex Luthor in his Warsuit:

"Superman" starring David Corenswet in the lead role proved to be a box office hit, grossing $352.5 million in North America and $260.5 million internationally. That's a total of $613 million worldwide against a production budget estimated at around $225 million. It's not really on par with what superhero movies used to gross in their heyday, but it's as close as it can get to a bonafide box office hit these days, and so far the highest-grossing superhero movie of 2025.

In August, Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav personally announced that Gunn would return to write and direct the new installment. In 2026 the studio will release "Supergirl" directed by Craig Gillespie ("I, Tonya", "Cruella") and starring Milly Alcock, as well as the horror film "Clayface", which will be directed by James Watkins ("Eden Lake", "Speak No Evil") from a script by Mike Flanagan ("The Haunting of Hill House", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "Midnight Mass") and Hossein Amini ("Drive", "The Four Feathers") and will star Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie. Meanwhile, "The Batman Part II" is slated to open on October 1, 2027.
