James Gunn has denied that Skydance demanded major changes to Man of Tomorrow, the next Superman film. In a Threads post on Friday (13), the director said the company’s executives had not even seen the film, undercutting the premise of rumors surrounding the project.

“No one at Skydance has even seen the film”

According to Gunn, only Peter Safran and a small group of trusted friends and family members have seen the film so far. The director dismissed as false reports that changes had been requested following a supposed screening for management.

The speculation centered on reshoots, the removal of cameos and changes to the edit. The new management had allegedly requested those changes after being unhappy with the footage shown. Gunn’s response disputes whether that screening—the purported basis for the demands—ever took place.

His response also followed the announcement that Gunn would step down as head of DC Studios. That does not, however, mean he is leaving Man of Tomorrow: Skydance’s own statement keeps Gunn on board as writer and director, with Safran also producing.

Filming has wrapped, and the project is in post-production.

David Corenswet returns as Superman, while Nicholas Hoult reprises his role as Lex Luthor. The two adversaries will have to work together to face Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger.

Man of Tomorrow is scheduled to open in theaters in July 2027, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
