The upcoming DCU movie Man of Tomorrow has sparked new rumors, with one suggesting that Jason Momoa and John Cena will be joining the cast in their DCU roles alongside Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. The film will continue the story introduced in Superman (2025) and bring back familiar faces alongside fresh challenges for the Man of Steel. Production begins next summer, with a planned 2027 release.
Jason Momoa and John Cena could return in Man of Tomorrow’s Cast
Nexus Point News reports that Jason Momoa may reprise his role as Lobo and John Cena may return as Peacemaker. Production will begin in June 2026, with James Gunn writing, directing, and producing alongside Peter Safran. The movie will release on July 9, 2027.
Gunn confirmed that David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult will return as Superman and Lex Luthor, serving as co-leads. Although Lex remains an antagonist, reports suggest he could team up with Superman to face a larger threat. Rumors point to Brainiac or the Authority as possible adversaries, requiring the heroes to form a team. This storyline could explain the inclusion of characters like Peacemaker, Supergirl, and Lobo.
Cena’s Peacemaker has stayed active in the DCU through his HBO Max series. The show is continuing storylines first introduced in Superman (2025). If he joins Man of Tomorrow, it will be his first feature film role in Gunn’s DC era since The Suicide Squad (2021). Momoa’s rumored return as Lobo follows speculation about his future in the DCU. Gunn has hinted at major roles for him after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
The first Superman film premiered on July 11, 2025, with a $225 million budget. It earned $611 million worldwide. The movie introduced Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). Story threads from Superman are expected to carry into Man of Tomorrow. They will also connect with HBO’s Lanterns and the upcoming Supergirl spinoff.
If confirmed, Cena and Momoa’s roles in Man of Tomorrow would expand their characters’ presence. It would also help establish future team-based projects in the growing DCU.
