Fans got an unexpected treat this week as director James Gunn offered a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for Man of Tomorrow. The filmmaker posted photos from a familiar Metropolis landmark, hinting that the next Superman film is picking up momentum.

James Gunn shares photos for the base for Daily Planet in Man of Tomorrow

The DC Studios co-head took to his Instagram Stories to give followers a peek inside the Daily Planet newsroom. He captioned the images with two simple messages: “Back home at the Daily Planet for a tech scout” and “It will look like itself soon enough!”

These posts suggest Man of Tomorrow pre-production is in full swing as the project heads toward production. Industry insiders have pointed to an April 17 start date, which would place the first day of filming right before Superman Day on April 18.

For the first film, the production team transformed Terminal Station in Macon, Georgia, into the bustling newsroom where Clark Kent works alongside Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. Gunn’s latest update confirms he’s revisiting that same creative territory as Man of Tomorrow moves forward.

Gunn also posted about being in Atlanta about a week ago, writing about friends visiting during the pre-production phase. He mentioned having company, including Michael Rooker, known to fans as Yondu from Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy films. The combination of these updates points to production gearing up quickly for what comes next.

For those curious, a tech scout involves the director and key crew members walking through locations to figure out camera placements, lighting setups, and how scenes will flow through the space. It’s a crucial step before cameras start rolling.

The follow-up to 2025’s Superman will hit theaters on July 9, 2027. DC Studios has described it as the next installment in what they’re calling a “Super Family Saga.” Plot details indicate Superman will face a threat big enough that he needs to form an uneasy alliance with Lex Luthor.
