A touching moment has occurred on the set of James Gunn’s upcoming ‘Superman’ film as Will Reeve, the son of the legendary Christopher Reeve, made a cameo appearance. Christopher Reeve, who famously portrayed Superman in the films of the 1970s and 1980s, would no doubt have been moved to see his son on set in Cleveland, Ohio, continuing his remarkable legacy.
A photo capturing an emotional embrace between Will Reeve and James Gunn on the movie set has sparked excitement among fans and DC enthusiasts. Will, dressed sharply in a suit reminiscent of Clark Kent’s, was seen sharing a hug with Gunn, receiving applause from others present, indicating he might have just completed filming his scenes.
Will Reepe’s exact role in the film has yet to be revealed. However, he’s not stepping into the iconic superhero’s boots, as actor David Corenswet has been seen donning the traditional Superman colors around Cleveland.
Will, whose father iconically took on the role starting with 1978’s “Superman: The Movie” and spanning three sequels until 1987, comes to the set with a deeply personal connection to the character. This year marks 20 years since Christopher Reeve’s passing at the age of 52. With the new Superman film slated for release in July 2025, James Gunn is at the helm, crafting a fresh vision for the DC Cinematic Universe.
