Here Are 8 Superheroes Confirmed (Or Rumored) to Appear in James Gunn’s ‘Man of Tomorrow’

James Gunn’s DCU has been steadily expanding since ‘Superman’ hit theaters, and its next chapter is shaping up to be the most crowded team-up the studio has attempted yet. ‘Man of Tomorrow‘ isn’t just a sequel, it’s quickly becoming a full-blown ensemble event.

Between returning favorites and brand-new additions, the roster keeps growing as casting details trickle out. Here’s a breakdown of the heroes confirmed and rumored to appear.

1. Superman (David Corenswet)

Corenswet returns as the Man of Steel, picking up directly where ‘Superman’ left off. His version of Clark Kent has been described as embodying truth, justice, and kindness in a world that often treats kindness as old-fashioned, and ‘Man of Tomorrow’ looks to push that ideal to its breaking point as he faces off against Brainiac.

2. Supergirl (Milly Alcock)

Alcock makes her DCU debut as Kara Zor-El, joining the franchise ahead of her own already-confirmed standalone ‘Supergirl’ film. Her inclusion here suggests the sequel will help lay groundwork for that solo story while finally giving Superman a Kryptonian ally on screen.

3. Green Lantern, Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion)

Fillion returns as the brash, bowl-cut-sporting Green Lantern, reprising the role he originated in ‘Superman.’ Gunn has said giving Fillion that signature haircut was practically a deciding factor in casting him, and Gardner’s abrasive confidence has already made him a fan-favorite supporting player.

4. Green Lantern, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre)

Pierre makes his feature film debut as John Stewart after already playing the character in HBO’s ongoing ‘Lanterns’ series. His arrival alongside Gardner puts two Green Lanterns in the same film, echoing the classic pairing longtime fans of the DC Animated Universe will recognize.

5. Blue Beetle (Xolo Maridueña)

Maridueña returns as Jaime Reyes, bringing the character back after headlining his own standalone ‘Blue Beetle’ film. His casting confirms that movie remains connected to the wider DCU timeline, folding an earlier hero directly into Gunn’s flagship sequel.

6. Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced)

Merced reprises Kendra Saunders, making her so far the only confirmed member of the Justice Gang from ‘Superman’ to return for the sequel. Her comic-book history includes a romance with John Stewart’s Green Lantern, and with both characters now sharing the screen, fans have started speculating whether that dynamic could resurface.

7. Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi)

Gathegi returns as Michael Holt, continuing his role from ‘Superman’ as one of the DCU’s sharpest tacticians. Holt’s analytical presence made him a standout addition to the Justice Gang, and his return suggests he’ll keep playing a key strategic role as the team faces a much bigger threat.

8. Maxima (Adria Arjona) / Wonder Woman (Rumored)

Arjona is confirmed to make her DCU debut as the world-conquering alien Maxima, a character who in the comics has a history of setting her sights on Superman as a potential mate. Her exact role in the story, along with persistent fan speculation tying her presence to a possible Wonder Woman connection, remains unconfirmed as Gunn keeps further plot details under wraps.
