It’s crazy, but Matthew Lillard is having one of the busiest stretches of his career right now, and all after Quentin Tarantino verbally kicked him in the nuts a couple of months ago. Now he’s heading to the DCU and James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, joining the Superman sequel’s cast in a mystery role.
Lillard joins a cast led by David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, along with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Lars Eidinger as Brainiac, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathon Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Adria Arjona as Maxima and Aaron Pierre reprising his Lanterns role as Green Lantern John Stewart.
Man of Tomorrow is written and directed by Gunn, with the story finding Superman and Lex Luthor forced to team up against the alien threat of Brainiac.
Lillard has been everywhere lately, returning for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, reprising his role as Stu Macher in Scream 7, and appearing in the second seasons of Cross and Daredevil: Born Again.
Man of Tomorrow hits theaters on July 9th 2027. [Deadline]
