Bit of news and surrounding Buzz as Brainiac seemingly confirmed as Man of Tomorrow villain, plus the actor rumored for the role. TheWrap yesterday claimed that they’ve had confirmation the villain of Man of Tomorrow is in fact Brainiac. There was a lot of speculation around that name prior, but no actual rumors. TheWrap don’t post baseless rumors, at least not intentionally. Therefore, this is a pretty strong clue that speculation was right for once. I would not quite call it confirmed, but surely we are as good as now.
Following on from this report, some leakers have come out the woodwork to claim several actors are in for the role. The post below… If it was just Grace, I wouldn’t cover it at all, but Apoc is actually very good. Therefore, if they are hearing the name Claes Bang (bottom left) then there’s a good chance DC Studios are looking at him.
Since it’s pretty obvious I can confirm I heard Claes Bang too. But there’s a handful of others who are going to be tested so it’s undecided https://t.co/MBAjzKsmg9

The others I have no idea and won’t make any comment on either way. Still, there are likely a number of actors as Apoc says, so let’s wait and see.

How Brainiac will connect to Salvation? That remains to be seen. It seems unlikely Brainiac is on Salvation, but I’m not a big enough DC comic book reader (outside Batman) to put any pieces together.
Either way, it looks like what we know so far about Man of Tomorrow is:
A: It will deal with the Salvation prison planet introduced in Peacemaker Season 2.
B: It will feature Lex and Superman having to work together.
C: Brainiac seems to be the primary antagonist.
Maybe a little more that that in terms of cast coming back, but those are the three big points we know of plot wise.
What do you think of Brainiac as the villain of Man of Tomorrow? Could you see any of actors shown above in the part? Thoughts below.
