Gunn Confirms ‘Man of Tomorrow’ Won’t Film in UK, Teases New Draft

Lead: DC Studios co-head James Gunn announced on September 18 that the upcoming Man of Tomorrow sequel will not be shot in the United Kingdom and revealed he’s just completed a new script draft while traveling.

Nut Graf: In a flurry of social media posts, Gunn’s confirmations underscore his hands-on leadership of the DC Universe slate and offer fans rare insights into the sequel’s production status and his creative process.

Production Location Clarified Gunn took to X (formerly Twitter) to dispel recent location rumors, stating unequivocally that Man of Tomorrow-the sequel to July’s Superman-“is not set to shoot in the UK,” despite ongoing speculation about international filming sites. The clarification follows Warner Bros.’ strong box-office showing earlier this year.

Script Draft Completed Later in the day, Gunn addressed followers on Threads, apologizing for skipping a planned celebratory livestream (“way party”) as he was “crushed finishing a new draft and then traveling.” He emphasized that the draft marks a major milestone in advancing the sequel toward pre-production.

Peacemaker Teaser Earlier in the afternoon, Gunn thanked fans for their questions and encouraged them to “enjoy the show tonight,” referencing the Season 2 premiere of Peacemaker on HBO Max. His posts reflect a tightly woven promotional strategy tying together DC’s film and television offerings.

Looking Ahead With Man of Tomorrow slated for a summer 2027 release, Gunn’s updates signal that the sequel’s creative groundwork is well underway. Fans now await further casting news, story details, and an official production start date.
