No doubt Lex will still be a villain by the end of ‚Man of Tomorrow,‘ but you’ll leave the movie understanding where he comes from.
While the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow isn’t out until 2027, that hasn’t stopped director/writer James Gunn from vaguely teasing some plans, particulary as they relate to Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.
In a recent interview with The Ringer-Verse, Gunn was asked about his approach to Lex for Tomorrow and the DC universe overall. Gunn is aiming to “get into the heart of Lex” and explore more of his human side. By his own admission, Lex was a bastard in that first movie (even before he killed Superman support Malik), but still feels there’s something “incredibly heroic” about the bald baddie at his core.
