James Gunn's Chocos Post: Martian Manhunter Reveal?! Fans Go Wild!
Gaming News 28 January 2026

Okay, folks, buckle up because James Gunn is at it again. The DC Universe mastermind has once again sent the internet into a frenzy with a seemingly innocent, yet undeniably loaded, tweet. This time, it's all about... Chocos. Yes, you read that right. Chocos, DC's version of Oreo cookies.

James Gunn's Chocos Post: Martian Manhunter Reveal...

For those not deeply embedded in DC lore, Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz, a founding member of the Justice League and an incredibly powerful alien hero, has a well-known fondness for these chocolatey treats. It's practically his Kryptonite, only instead of weakening him, it just makes him… well, happy. So, Gunn posting a picture of a pack of Chocos? It’s not exactly subtle.

The tweet, which included the picture of the Chocos, immediately ignited speculation. Is Martian Manhunter finally making his grand entrance into the new DCU? Is Gunn simply messing with us (again)? Knowing Gunn's penchant for playful teases, the answer is likely a bit of both. Remember all the rumors swirling last year? This feels very familiar.

Adding another layer of intrigue, some sharp-eyed fans pointed out that the background in the Chocos picture appears to be the office that Ultraman decimates in *Superman*. This could mean a few things. It *could* be just a random, stock photo, or a visual reminder that the world is already established, perhaps hinting at the chaos Superman is stepping into. Alternatively, maybe the office was rebuilt and is now being used for, say, Martian Manhunter-related purposes? The possibilities are endless, and Gunn is likely enjoying the chaos.

While Martian Manhunter’s potential arrival is exciting, Gunn has also dropped hints about *Superman: Man of Tomorrow*, suggesting it will be as much about Lex Luthor as it is about the Man of Steel. He revealed on Howard Stern's show that shooting is expected to begin in April 2026, with a release date set for July 9, 2027 – relatively quick turnaround after *Superman*. "That's the center of Lex for me," Gunn said, emphasizing Luthor's fall from grace after Superman's arrival. So, while we're dissecting Chocos, let’s not forget that Lex Luthor's story will be a central part of this new Superman saga.

Ultimately, whether this Chocos tweet is a genuine hint about Martian Manhunter's future or just another classic Gunn misdirect remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: he knows how to keep fans engaged and guessing. And honestly, I'm kind of enjoying the ride. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm suddenly craving an Oreo.
