James Gunn has officially unveiled the first look at Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor from the set of Man of Tomorrow, giving DC fans their clearest glimpse yet of one of Superman’s greatest enemies in the new DC Universe.
The image, shared by Gunn on Instagram, features Hoult wearing Lex Luthor’s iconic green warsuit while standing beneath a dramatic spotlight. The armor appears heavily inspired by the classic comic book design, complete with bulky green plating and the signature transparent dome helmet that has become synonymous with the character.
For years, fans have wondered whether the DCU would embrace the more comic accurate version of Lex’s battlesuit. Based on this first official image, Gunn appears to be leaning fully into the character’s comic book roots.

Hoult made his DCU debut as Lex Luthor in Superman, quickly establishing himself as one of the franchise’s most dangerous and intelligent villains. While details surrounding Man of Tomorrow remain under wraps, the reveal suggests Lex will play a major role in the film’s story and may be gearing up for a more direct confrontation with the Man of Steel.
The image immediately generated excitement across social media, with many fans praising the suit’s faithful comic book appearance and Gunn’s willingness to bring some of DC’s more iconic visuals to the big screen without watering them down.
Man of Tomorrow is currently in production and is expected to continue expanding the new DC Universe following the events of Superman. Alongside David Corenswet’s Superman and Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, the film is expected to introduce new threats and further shape the future of the franchise.
One thing is clear after Gunn’s latest reveal: Lex Luthor is suiting up, and the battle between Metropolis’ greatest hero and greatest villain is only just beginning.
