First Look at Man of Tomorrow Reveals Lex Luthor's Armor Suit

James Gunn shared a set image from Man of Tomorrow showing Nicholas Hoult in Lex Luthor's dark-green warsuit. The armored battle suit features the A.R.G.U.S. logo on the chest and a clear, Buzz Lightyear-style helmet; Hoult stands in sand beneath a bright light, looking up at the sky.

In the sequel, Lex will leave Belle Reve prison and be forced to team up with Superman when Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger, threatens to add Earth to his collection of planets. As a mortal, Lex relies on next-level intelligence to build technology that levels the playing field, and the suit should make him exponentially stronger from a physical perspective.

Seeing the costume made practically rather than entirely through CGI offers an early sign of how the sequel might look. The armored suit's arrival is positioned as a turning point in the story, though questions remain about how and why Lex constructs it.
