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.

  • 00:00 New Brainiac casting announced for Man of Tomorrow

  • 00:20 Who Lars Eidinger is and what he’s known for

  • 00:37 Why a stage actor could shape Brainiac’s voice and presence

  • 00:43 What you think about this casting

  • James Gunn revealed Lars Eidinger as the new Brainiac for Man of Tomorrow.

  • Eidinger’s résumé includes major stage work, including roles like Hamlet and Richard III.

  • The casting could point to a Brainiac that feels calculated, philosophical, and genuinely intimidating.

  • A strong “presence” villain is exactly what you want opposite Superman and Lex.

  • “We have our new Brainiac. It’s Lars Eidinger.”

  • “Brainiac is usually the super smart supercomputer, right?”

  • “I wonder if he’s going to have, like, a philosopher speaking voice.”

  • “Somebody who can seem smarter than even Lex Luthor.”

  • “What do you guys think about Lars joining the cast for Man of Tomorrow in this version of Brainiac?”

JAME GUNN ON TWITTER“Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.” The news may be surprising to fans who expected Cavill to return as the hero, but insiders say that Cavill’s recent Instagram announcement was approved by Warner Bros brass before Gunn and Safran were hired, leading to a change in plans.
