Superman saw the big screen debut of The Engineer with actress Maria Gabriela de Faria playing her. James Gunn and Co. crafted one of the best and most hopeful superhero movies of the year with the 2025 film. Luckily for all of us, The Engineer and other characters from Superman are making their returns in future DC projects. Maria sat down with our friend Brandon Davis on an episode of his podcast, The Brandon Davis Show. She had a lot to say about the movie and her future in the role. She also talked about how she almost got hypothermia on set in Norway!

Here’s what she had to say about the future plans for The Engineer.

“Not really, they don’t really discuss exactly what’s coming next for. They just tell you, ‘Hello, welcome, you’ll be here for multiple years’ and I’m like, ‘Yes, that sounds amazing.’ But I think James is incredibly mindful and he knows that he won’t ever greenlight a project without an amazing script.

So, he doesn’t tell you, ‘Oh, we’re going to do The Authority,’ or ‘We’re going to do this…’ He does the work, and then he tells you to just know that you’re part of this and that you will continue and that he’ll find a way, whether it be an Authority project of sorts or we keep telling the stories of these characters in different movies.

The great thing about the DCU is that, you know, you can end up in Peacemaker and Lanterns or whatever and that’s that’s even better because you just the possibilities are endless.”

So while it’s not a confirmation of The Authority coming to the DC Universe right now, it shows that she’s part of their plans going forward.

About Superman And The Upcoming Sequel Man Of Tomorrow

Maria Gabriela de Faria is making her return as The Engineer in Superman: Man Of Tomorrow alongside David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.  The film also stars Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. They’ve also announced that Lars Eidinger is playing the film’s villain, Brainiac. The film reportedly sees the Man of Steel and Luthor forced into an uneasy alliance against the cosmic-level threat. Brainiac immediately raises the stakes beyond anything DC has attempted theatrically to date.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow is set for release on July 9th, 2027.
