Filming is underway on the new Superman film from James Gunn in Cleveland, Ohio — if you’ve been following @KryptonSite on Twitter/X, you’ve likely seen a lot of photos from the shooting — and today, news broke that someone quite super has apparently visited the set and filmed a cameo.
Will Reeve is a correspondent for Good Morning America but his biggest relevance to Superman fans is that he is the 32-year-old son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve. Christopher Reeve, of course, is the iconic actor who starred as Clark Kent and Superman in four films. From set photos, it appears that he filmed a cameo as a reporter in the movie.. a reporter in a Superman project… just like his Super dad.
Christopher Reeve died in October 2004. In 1995, he had a tragic horseback riding accident that resulted in paralysis. Despite these challenges, Reeve powered ahead and had hope — a lesson we could all learn from Superman. You can see some photo evidence of Will’s visit below. And of course, now we are going to wonder what other cameos we have to look forward to in the film. The Reeve franchise’s Jimmy Olsen, Marc McClure, is still with us, after all, as is Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) though he is retired from acting. James Gunn also happens to be friends with history’s most beloved Lex Luthor actor (Michael Rosenbaum) so really, anything is possible!
