Man of Tomorrow might introduce a Justice League member to the DCU. The Superman sequel arrives in theaters next year and will see the Man of Steel battle Brainiac.
Which Justice League hero will reportedly appear in Man of Tomorrow?
According to scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Martian Manhunter could appear in Man of Tomorrow. This remains only a rumor, as DC Studios has not officially announced the character’s involvement in Man of Tomorrow.
If true, this wouldn’t be the first time that J’onn J’onzz has appeared in a live-action DC film. Harry Lennix’s Martian Manhunter previously featured in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, marking the character’s first live-action appearance in a feature film.
James Gunn, who is directing Man of Tomorrow, had previously hinted at Martian Manhunter in a social media post. He also debunked a popular theory about a character in Peacemaker secretly playing Martian Manhunter. Before the DCU or Zack Snyder’s DCEU films, the character was planned to appear in George Miller’s canceled film Justice League: Mortal.
Martian Manhunter/J’onn J’onzz debuted in DC Comics in 1955’s Detective Comics #225. As the name suggests, the alien hails from Mars and can shapeshift. He has been a founding member of the Justice League in the comics and other projects, including the DC Animated Universe.
Regardless of whether J’onzz appears in Man of Tomorrow, the film will bring together many other superheroes in the DC universe. This includes Milly Alcock’s Supergirl, Aaron Pierre’s Green Lantern, and Lex Luthor in a comic-accurate enhanced supersuit.
Man of Tomorrow releases in theaters on July 9, 2027.
