A full circle moment is unfolding James Gunn‘Superman’ Set — Go Reeveson of the iconic Christopher Reeveis flying into the DC Universe with a cameo in Gunn’s film.
As you know, Christopher donned the red cape in the “Superman” films of the ’70s and ’80s… and he would no doubt be thrilled to see these heartwarming photos on X of his youngest son hugging Gunn on set in Cleveland, Ohio, carrying on his legacy.

It’s unclear what Will’s role is exactly, but as you can see, he’s dressed to the nines in a dapper Clark Kent-style suit as he grooms Gunn and then hugs him — all while others on set applaud, so it looks like he’s just finished filming his scenes.
One thing is for sure: he is not playing the titular role, as that has been filled by David Corenswetwho is it has been rocking the classic blue and red suit in Cleveland.
However, Will won’t need to do much research on the film, as his father is basically synonymous with the character — he took on the role in 1978’s “Superman: The Movie” and continued to sport the “S” on his chest in three sequels through 1987.
20 years after Christopher’s death at the age of 52, Gunn is clearly hard at work on his new vision for the DC Cinematic Universe, set for release in July 2025.
