James Gunn Says No One at Skydance Has Seen Man of Tomorrow

James Gunn says no one at Skydance has seen Man of Tomorrow, and he has denied reports that the film is being overhauled. He made the comments as he and Peter Safran step away from running DC Studios, the studio behind the DC superhero films, according to Deadline.

Gunn said there are a lot of untrue rumours going around since his exit as co-head of the studio. Deadline reports that he and Safran announced they would not head DC Studios, amid changes at Skydance that are tied to the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. The rumours have focused on the film itself.

Gunn said stories that sweeping changes are being made to Man of Tomorrow are false. He also said the only people who have seen the film are Safran and a very small, trusted group of friends and family. Nobody else at Skydance, he said, has watched it.

The film has a firm place on the calendar. Filming wrapped in August 2026, and it is set for release on 9 July 2027. David Corenswet returns as Clark Kent, the character better known as Superman, according to Deadline.

Who runs the studio next is also now clear, at least in part. Former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham is set to run DC Studios following the departures of Gunn and Safran, Deadline reports. Nothing announced so far alters the 2027 date.

For a general reader, the story shows how a single film depends on people in many offices. A movie is shot over months, then passes to a new set of executives who decide how it is marketed and when it opens. In this case, a studio chief change and a summer release date now sit side by side, and the film's makers say the picture itself has not been changed.

Further announcements from Skydance, Warner Bros. or DC Studios would be needed to confirm any change to the film or its release.
