NEW YORK (AP) — Up, up and away! A “Superman” sequel is in the works.

Writer-director James Gunn, who now presides over DC Studios with producer Peter Safran, shared on Instagram Wednesday that a new film, called “Man of Tomorrow,” will arrive in theaters July 9, 2027.

His post included an image of Superman and Lex Luthor standing together, with Luthor in a purple-and-green power suit with his fists clenched. The 2015 artwork, drawn by Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics Jim Lee, shows Superman holding a screwdriver, smiling and leaning on Luthor.

“Superman” was released in July and took a unique approach to the mainstream superhero — though it differed from the idiosyncratic, misfit approach of Gunn’s other superhero films like “Suicide Squad” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.” While still irreverent, Gunn’s “Superman” is an immigrant story. His Man of Steel, portrayed by the charming David Corenswet, avoided cliches.

Corenswet and his Luther, the English actor Nicholas Hoult, also shared the news on Instagram with similar images; Corenswet’s drawn by DC Comics’ artist Jorge Jiménez and Hoult’s by Mitch Gerads.

“Superman” was also a commercial success. After eight weeks in theaters, “Superman” has earned approximately $352 million at the domestic box office, according to ComScore. It opened with $122 million in U.S. and Canada ticket sales in its first weekend, according to studio estimates. And it became the first DC title to surpass $100 million in its opening weekend since “Wonder Woman” in 2017.

“Superman” is Gunn and Safran’s first release since they were handed the keys to DC’s superhero cinematic universe.

Jets new backup Stevenson ‘stoked’ to be in tandem with Skinner

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Yesterday at 4:23 PM CDT

It didn’t take long to get the dirt on the newest member of the Winnipeg Jets.

Meet Clay Stevenson, who has no problem if you prefer to refer to him by his long-standing nickname of “Mud.”

“You know, Clay is in the mud, and there you go. That’s it, right there,” Stevenson said Wednesday with a laugh. “I got it in juniors when I was playing in Coquitlam, and kind of stuck ever since.”

Stevenson is now hoping to make a name for himself in a city that, quite fittingly, translates to “muddy water” in Cree. The 27-year-old from Alberta was placed on waivers by the Washington Capitals and claimed by the Jets, who were looking to clarify a goaltending situation which was as murky as the Red River.

Woman took ‘meaningful’ responsibility after disposing of body: lawyer

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

A woman who was threatened with death if she didn’t help dispose the body of a Mexican man murdered in the basement of a North End home should serve no more jail time, a judge has been told.

Devlin Langlois, 25, has pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder in the March 2025 killing of 28-year-old Diego Moscoza.

“By pleading guilty, Ms. Langlois has already taken meaningful accountability for her actions,” defence lawyer Joshua Rogala told King’s Bench Justice Candace Grammond at a sentencing hearing Monday.

He urged the judge to sentence Langlois to the equivalent of 14 months already served, plus two years supervised probation.
