Filmmaker James Gunn's upcoming DC movie Man of Tomorrow is filming at a rapid pace, and a few behind-the-scenes images and videos have surfaced online, offering fans an early look at David Corenswet as Superman.
The leaked photos show him battered and bruised, suggesting he's just been through a violent clash with Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor.
The shots hint at a darker, more physical showdown between the hero and his longtime nemesis.
New footage reveals what sparks the fight: Lex Luthor, wearing a functional version of his Warsuit, fires a green energy blast in Metropolis, scattering people and raising the stakes just before the two confront each other.
Fans think this moment may be connected to Brainiac's larger scheme, with several theories suggesting that Brainiac has issued a dire ultimatum to Earth: hand over Lex Luthor within 12 hours, or Metropolis will be destroyed.
Man of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 9, 2027.
