Man of Tomorrow Cast Finds DCU Brainiac Actor
The search for the DC Universe’s Brainiac is over.
Who is Man of Tomorrow’s DCU Brainiac actor?
Unlike what rumors had said, the DCU’s Brainiac is not an actor that director James Gunn worked with in the past, nor is it one of the actors in the reported shortlist. Instead, German actor Lars Eidinger will play Brainiac. It’s the biggest role in the career of Eidinger, who has starred in miniseries like All the Light We Cannot See and appeared in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly and White Noise. Other notable movie roles for the actor include 2024’s Dying, 2022’s About Joan, and 2020’s My Little Sister.
Currently, very little is known about the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, outside of the fact that it will release on July 9, 2027, and that David Corenswet’s Superman, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane are all set to return for the movie.
The Man of Tomorrow is one of Superman’s many nicknames; however, there have also been a handful of DC comic runs that have incorporated the “Man of Tomorrow” name into their official title. There was also a 2020 animated movie titled Superman: Man of Tomorrow, but whether or not the DCU movie will be pulling from any of this source material remains unclear at this time.
Superman is now available to rent or purchase on digital outlets such as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and more.
