Superman Sequel: Do This, Not That (Man of Tomorrow)

Quick Note: This was recorded before Man of Tomorrow was announced, but most of what I said stands!

Welcome to my deep dive into the potential sequel to James Gunn's 2025 Superman — where I break down exactly what I want the creative team to get right, and what they should absolutely avoid. Whether you're a longtime fan of Superman comics, hyped for Superman 2 movie (that we now know is called Man of Tomorrow), or just curious about the future of the Man of Steel in the DC Universe, this video is for you!

In this video, I cover:

Why introducing Jon Kent and building the Superman family is essential for future storytelling

The importance of exploring Kryptonian lore and bringing in more cosmic elements like Brainiac as a main villain

Why the sequel should avoid overused villains like General Zod and Lex Luthor as primary antagonists

The need to keep the tone comic-book fun, with characters like Mr. Mxyzptlk (of course, Krypto should be there too)

How the movie should focus more on Clark Kent’s journalism and his relationship with Lois Lane

What to skip: evil Superman arcs, Justice League overload, and story retcons

If you're searching for Superman sequel theories, Superman 2025 spoilers, or a thoughtful Superman sequel wishlist, this video breaks down what fans truly want (and don’t want) from the next big chapter in the DC Universe. I also discuss how the sequel can build trust with humanity and expand Superman’s world without rehashing old ground.

Let me know in the comments what you want to see in the Superman (2025) sequel — and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more DC movie breakdowns and superhero deep dives!

Of course, we'll have to wait until July of 2027 to see what Man of Tomorrow is really like!
