James Gunn is known for being open about his projects, and fans appreciate his honesty. With the recent *Superman* movie, he delivered exactly what was advertised – no hidden surprises or unnecessary cameos. So it’s not shocking that Gunn has all but confirmed Brainiac as the villain for the *Superman* sequel, *Man of Tomorrow*. He recently shared a photo of the script with a brain drawn on it, signaling that we’ll soon see a live-action version of the iconic villain.
There were early suggestions that Brainiac might have appeared in the first *Superman* movie, but it seems James Gunn chose to hold off on the villain to give him a proper introduction. We already know the *Superman* sequel, *Man of Tomorrow*, will feature Lex Luthor and Superman teaming up against a major threat. Now, it appears that threat will be Brainiac, which makes sense considering their history in DC Comics and *Superman: The Animated Series* – they’ve often been rivals themselves.
The idea of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent teaming up against Brainiac in *Man of Tomorrow*-because they both oppose him-is a compelling one, and fans are excited by it.
Want to know everything about the new villain in *Man of Tomorrow* and Superman’s history with him? Check out our detailed explanation of Brainiac below. Simply put, Brainiac is one of Superman’s biggest enemies. While his form has changed over time – sometimes he’s an alien, sometimes an AI – he’s always been incredibly intelligent. Recently, Brainiac has been reimagined as a creation of Krypton, even built by Superman’s father, Jor-El, making him almost like an evil twin. It’s unclear where James Gunn will take the character, but he seems likely to focus on this Kryptonian connection, potentially turning *Superman: Man of Tomorrow* into a family story. Gunn might even use this opportunity to introduce Superboy/Conner Kent.
Brainiac is finally coming to the big screen in the DC Universe’s *Superman: Man of Tomorrow*, marking his first live-action appearance. We’re excited to learn more about how he’ll be portrayed, and given James Gunn’s tendency to share details, we likely won’t have to wait long for updates.
