This is important because: Man of Tomorrow is a sequel to James Gunn’s hit comic book movie, Superman, and the next chapter in the DCU’s Superman Saga.

Superman received an 83% “Certified Fresh” rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and reportedly grossed nearly $612 million worldwide.
The image in Gunn’s announcement implies that Luthor will fight Superman directly with his Warsuit in Man of Tomorrow.
The image also implies that these two bitter rivals will team up against a new villain in Man of Tomorrow.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.
