He enjoys discovering hidden gems and sharing them with Polygon's audience. Previously, he was the gaming editor for AIPT Comics and has written for other outlets like XDA, How-To Geek, and The List.

He enjoys soulslikes, character-driven RPGs, and third-person shooters plucked straight out of the Xbox 360 era. He also likes to flex his non-video game nerdy knowledge sometimes, whether that's explaining who's who in the new Wolverine game or recommending a comic book series about a sentient sword.

Man of Tomorrow is reportedly bringing in another Justice League hero

On Monday, James Gunn and Peter Safran stepped down from their leadership roles at DC Studios. Skydance — which recently finalized its acquisition of DC parent company Warner Bros. Discovery — tapped Jeremy Latcham to lead DC. He used to work at Marvel Studios, and coincidentally was a producer on Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.

When sharing his story about the news, The Wall Street Journal's Ben Fritz seemingly confirmed details about Gunn's next movie, 2027's Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. In a post on X, he wrote that Gunn and Safran will debut Wonder Woman in next summer's blockbuster.

Fans have long speculated that Princess Diana of Themyscira would appear in Man of Tomorrow. Adria Arjona (Andor) was cast in the Superman sequel in April, with some reports pegging her as playing the relatively unknown character Maxima while Gunn remained tight-lipped about her role. Arjona hasn't confirmed who her character is either, but her training regimen for this fall's Onslaught and Man of Tomorrow has led fans to think she's Wonder Woman. Some outlets, like Cosmic News, have definitively stated that she will be Wonder Woman, which seems more plausible after Fritz's post. He doesn't specifically say Arjona will be Wonder Woman, but no one else in the cast fits the bill.

James Gunn's Justice League plans revealed

Wonder Woman's alleged appearance in Man of Tomorrow isn't the only notable part of Fritz's post. He also wrote that The Brave and the Bold is slated to come out in 2028. This film would introduce the DCU's Batman in live action. While we've known DC Studios has been planning The Brave and the Bold, the film has been without a release window.

Fritz also said that Gunn and Safran were "aiming for Gunn-directed Superman sequels" in 2029 and 2031. Apparently, those sequels "low-key evolved into Justice League" movies at some point. While Gunn recently confirmed he was working on his next movie after Man of Tomorrow, he hasn't officially announced what that film will be.

For now, it's unclear what the future of the DC Universe will look like with Latcham stepping in to lead the charge.

Man of Tomorrow will see David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult reprise their roles as Superman and Lex Luthor, respectively. Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart/Green Lantern will all appear as well. It will hit theaters July 9, 2027.
