Brainiac Cast Reveal: Lars Eidinger Joins James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow

James Gunn has announced the actor playing Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow, the sequel to Superman, and the role is going to Lars Eidinger. In this quick update, we break down who Eidinger is, why his background as a major German stage actor stands out, and what that might mean for the way Brainiac is portrayed.

We also talk through the classic Brainiac vibe, the “smarter than Lex” angle, and why this casting choice could lean into a colder, more philosophical version of the character.
