Insider Scoop: ‘Superman’ Villain Hammer of Boravia Will Have a Different Identity By The End of the Movie

Superman has fought many villains in past movies, like Lex Luthor, General Zod, and a mutant made from his own DNA. But many other comic book enemies, like Brainiac and Bizarro, haven’t shown up on screen yet.
Now, in the new DC Universe, Superman will face some fresh threats. In James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie, Lex Luthor (played by Nicholas Hoult) is back with new plans. The movie will also feature other villains, including Simon Stagg, the Engineer, a giant monster (kaiju), the powerful Hammer of Boravia, and a mysterious man in black. That mystery villain might be Ultraman, an evil version of Superman.
Two new kids’ books coming in June gave us new looks at the villain Hammer of Boravia and the rumored Ultraman. Ultraman seems to be confirmed because of the U-shaped symbol on his chest, like in the comics.
