The upcoming DC movie ‘Superman’, helmed by James Gunn, has wrapped up its filming. The writer-director announced the completion of the shoot on his social media accounts.

He wrote: “And that’s a wrap. God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own,” reports Variety.

He continued: “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honour. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set – and for that I am forever grateful.”

As per Variety, his ‘Superman’ movie will kick off the rebooted DC Universe under the supervision of him and his DC Studios co-boss Peter Safran.

The superhero movie, originally titled ‘Superman: Legacy’, stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and ‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

Nicholas Hoult is taking on the role of Superman’s infamous villain Lex Luthor, while Gunn’s cast also includes Skyler Gisondo, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced.

Will Reeve, son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, will make a cameo playing a TV reporter in the film. ‘Superman’ is set to debut in theatres on July 11, 2025.

Will Reeve to Make Cameo in James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

Reeve’s father, Christopher, is indelibly linked to the Superman franchise, having become the definitive portrayal of the iconic superhero for an entire generation…reports Asian Lite News

Filmmaker and DC head honcho James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is set to feature Will Reeve, the son of the late Superman star Christopher Reeve, in a cameo role.

The production is currently in motion in Cleveland, reports ‘Deadline’.

While representatives for Warner Bros. and DC could not be reached for comment, the younger Reeve will reportedly be playing a TV reporter, which is fitting given his real-world work as a correspondent for ABC News.

Reeve’s father, Christopher, is indelibly linked to the Superman franchise, having become the definitive portrayal of the iconic superhero for an entire generation.

According to Deadline, his relationship with the franchise began in 1978, when he was cast as the titular character in Richard Donner’s ‘Superman: The Movie’. He went on to don the cape in three sequels between 1980 and 1987, ‘Superman II’, ‘Superman III’, and ‘Superman IV: The Quest for Peace’.

The elder Reeve’s story is at the heart of ‘Superman: The Christopher Reeve Story’, a documentary directed by Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui, which premiered to critical acclaim at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It will be released in select US theatres via DC Studios and Fathom Events on September 21, with an encore presentation on Christopher Reeve’s birthday on September 25.

The documentary chronicles Reeve’s astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, shows how his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today, and examines the near-fatal horse-riding accident that left him paralysed from the neck down in 1995, as well as his later work as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care.

Gunn is directing from his own script, which draws on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Peter Safran produces the movie, which is slated for release on July 11, 2025.
