Superman hits Lex Luthor with a 1A in new Man of Tomorrow set video
Lex Luthor is soundly defeated in latest Man of Tomorrow leak
More Man of Tomorrow leaks are here, and this team Superman is laying the superpowered smackdown on Lex Luthor.
The clip, which you can see below, comes from James Nobbe on Facebook and features David Corenswet's Kryptonian pummelling Nicholas Hoult's bald supervillain. Ironically, it looks like the '1A' move from Superman's evil clone in the 2025 original. Not even Lex's warsuit is saving him here.

James Gunn, though, will likely be none too pleased at how someone has managed to sneak a video from set – especially as this appears to come at a climactic moment in the Superman sequel.
Previously, there had been a glimpse of Brainiac's lines in the movie, with the intergalactic collector demanding Lex Luthor and, failing that, promising to raze Metropolis to the ground.
The director and DC Studios boss, though, has revealed a sprinkling of more official looks at Man of Tomorrow.
Already, we have a brief taste of Brainiac's logo and an image showing off Lex Luthor's warsuit – which is completely practical.
"[Nicholas Hoult] can move incredibly well. It's unbelievably mobile," Gunn revealed in a post on his favorite social media platform Threads.
