Superman: Man of Tomorrow, the new DCU changes course

The change at the top of DC Studios could also have consequences for Superman: Man of Tomorrow. After James Gunn and Peter Safran left their respective executive positions, David Ellison and the new management led by Jeremy Latcham will have to decide which direction to give the DC cinematic universe. And the film starring David Corenswet could become one of the first battlegrounds.

According to some rumors reported by Variety, Skydance is not particularly satisfied with the project's setup and would like to downsize some references and secondary appearances attributable to the previous management. At the moment, no order to modify the cut has been confirmed.

Adria Arjona is Wonder Woman: debut at risk?

The most delicate issue concerns the potential introduction of Wonder Woman, which, according to journalist Ben Fritz, was planned by Gunn and Safran. Adria Arjona's name has been circulating persistently for the role of Diana Prince, but DC has never officially confirmed this casting.

In his newsletter, Jeff Sneider hypothesized that Ellison might ask to eliminate the hero's potential appearance, leaving room for a future casting choice. The same journalist, however, believes that Gunn has the final say on the film's definitive cut, making intervention by the new management less straightforward.

The transition could therefore primarily affect the narrative continuity of the DCU. Man of Tomorrow, scheduled for release on July 9, 2027, is in fact one of the last cinematic projects directly attributable to the Gunn-Safran management.
