The excitement is real! Will Reeve, son of the legendary Christopher Reeve, is making a cameo appearance in James Gunn’s new ‘Superman’ film.
- Christopher Reeve’s legacy continues as his son steps into a new role within the DC Universe.
- Heartwarming on-set photos show Will and James Gunn sharing a special moment.
- The role Will is playing remains a mystery, but his outfit suggests a nod to Clark Kent.
- David Corenswet, however, is the new Superman, donning the iconic red and blue suit.
A full-circle moment is unfolding on James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ set. Will Reeve, son of the iconic Christopher Reeve, is flying into the DC Universe with a cameo in Gunn’s film. Christopher Reeve donned the red cape for the ’70s and ’80s ‘Superman’ movies. Undoubtedly, he would’ve been thrilled to see these heartwarming pictures shared on X, featuring his youngest son hugging Gunn on set in Cleveland, Ohio. What an incredible moment for DC fans.
While it is unclear what Will’s role is exactly, the pictures show him dressed to the nines in a slick Clark Kent-style suit. Will is seen dapping up Gunn and then giving him a hug, all while others on set clap. This indicates that he just wrapped filming his scenes. One thing’s for sure — he’s not playing the titular role, as that’s been filled by David Corenswet. However, Will’s sharp suit suggests he might be playing a character with a nod to Clark Kent.
David Corenswet, the new Superman, has been rocking the classic blue and red suit around Cleveland. There’s no doubt that Will won’t need to do much homework on the film given his dad’s iconic portrayal of Superman. Christopher Reeve dove into the role in 1978’s ‘Superman: The Movie’ and continued flying the ‘S’ on his chest for three sequels until 1987.
Twenty years after Christopher’s death at the age of 52, it’s touching to see his son stepping into the world that his father so famously brought to life. Gunn is hard at work on his new vision for the DC Cinematic Universe, set for release in July ’25.
As fans eagerly await the film’s release, the legacy of Superman continues to soar through the next generation.
