James Gunn Adds Sinqua Walls to the Cast of “Superman: Man of Tomorrow”
James Gunn’s Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, has added another cast member. Sinqua Walls has joined Gunn, the cast and crew in Atlanta, where filming is underway, in an undisclosed role. The Hollywood Reporter supplied the scoop.
Walls led Hulu’s remake of White Men Can’t Jump alongside Jack Harlow. He played a TSA Agent and Taron Egerton’s best friend in Netflix’s thriller Carry-On, and starred in the horror/comedy The Blackening. In 2022, he starred in the drama Mending the Line with Brian Cox.
On the TV side, Walls starred in the iconic TV series Friday Night Lights and recently appeared in Peacock’s limited series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist alongside Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, and Don Cheadle.
Walls joins recent newcomer to Gunn’s DC Universe, Adria Arjona, who recently joined the cast after screen-testing in Atlanta alongside Grace Van Patten, Sydney Chandler, and Eva De Dominici. The sequel will find David Corenswet’s Superman joining forces with his arch nemesis, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), to face down the supervillain Brainiac (Lars Eidinger). Brainiac is a threat so great that even the seething, thin-skinned billionaire Luthor accepts he’ll need the Kryptonian to save the world.
Man of Tomorrow will see the return of a slew of characters introduced in Gunn’s DC Universe table-setter in 2025—Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio’s Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner, and Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific. Aaron Pierre, who will play the Green Lantern John Stewart in the upcoming HBO series Lanterns, will also make an appearance.
Gunn once again directs from a script he wrote. The film is slated for release on July 9, 2027. Director Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl will fly out of DC Studios next, arriving on June 26, followed by James Watkins’ Clayface on October 23, and then The Batman: Part II in October 2027.
