Superman Sequel “Superman 2: Man of Tomorrow” Set to Film in Georgia: What You Need to Know
DC Studios is heading back to Georgia, and all eyes are on Exodus—the production code name for the highly anticipated Superman: Man of Tomorrow. Directed by James Gunn, the film is set to begin production in April 2026 at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, just outside Atlanta.
While the project continues the storyline introduced in 2025’s Superman, it is not being positioned as a traditional sequel. Instead, Exodus marks the next chapter in Gunn’s evolving DC Universe.
“Superman 2: Man of Tomorrow” Production Details and Filming Location
The film is operating under the code name Exodus, following Gunn’s previous Superman project, which used the code name Genesis. This naming signals a larger, interconnected vision for the DC Universe moving forward.
Production will once again be based at Trilith Studios, one of the most advanced production campuses in the world and a consistent home for major blockbuster productions.
