James Gunn has given an update about the upcoming Superman movie. After news sources caught the filming process at Cleveland Public Square in June, the director confirmed on X that scenes were recorded there, adding that the Superman film crew was in the area for six weeks. He also applauded the background actors who helped him regain his passion.
“The wonderful background actors on the film were always so fun and funny, and they clapped after takes, something that reminded us Hollywood cynics why we make movies in the first place,” James Gunn tweeted alongside a series of photos on the set of Superman.
“The pride you feel in being where Jerry and Joe first created Superman was invigorating. You exemplify his spirit. But just as much, it’s the pride you have in your community, hometown, radio stations, restaurants, and gathering places that touched me.”
While responding to fan’s inquiries on the social media site, Gunn also revealed that the movie wasn’t complete. “We are not done shooting,” said Gunn. “Still a couple weeks left. Just done shooting in Cleveland. And yeah, it’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!”
“Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas,” the logline states. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
The movie stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Skyler Gisondo, María Gabriela De Faría, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, and more.
