SUPERMAN: 6 Biggest New Reveals From Set As Shooting Continues In The DCU’s Metropolis – SPOILERS
As production continues on Superman in Cleveland, Ohio, we’ve rounded up yet another wave of big reveals from the movie’s set, including more characters we didn’t expect to see in the upcoming reboot…
Aside from a blurry shot of The Engineer from afar, cameras were rolling on Superman for a long time before filmmaker James Gunn’s DCU reboot finally reached Cleveland, the city which will double for Metropolis.
We’ve already brought you a couple of breakdowns which rounded up some of the biggest reveals from set. Now, we’re back with another, and there’s a lot to delve into here.
David Corenswet has once again been spotted suited up as the Man of Steel, as have a number of other cast members in their respective superhero roles. Then, there’s the addition of some unexpected animal characters, Superman in action, a charming “Clois” moment, and a big cameo with ties to Superman: The Movie.

6. Corporate Superheroes
Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) was the first superhero spotted on Superman’s set, though Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) have now also been photographed alongside the Man of Steel.
What’s surprising is that they’re all wearing costumes bearing the LordTech logo, essentially confirming Maxwell Lord is funding his own corporate superhero team. Whether this explains what are ultimately some pretty underwhelming superhero suits is hard to say.
We’d bet on Mister Terrific, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl being sent to recruit Superman, something he’s unlikely to have much interest in.
5. Superman in Action
A new video surfaced online that shows stuntmen practicing a brutal fight scene between Superman and an unidentified foe. The video doesn’t reveal much about the opponent’s identity, but it does provide a glimpse of the action-packed sequences we can expect to see in the film.
Given that this is a stunt rehearsal, we can expect to see some impressive choreography and special effects in the final film. The video also suggests that Superman will be facing some serious challenges in his new adventure.
4. A “Clois” Moment
Our latest glimpse at Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Clark Kent’s relationship shows them enjoying a casual moment together. It seems they’re taking a break from the craziness of Metropolis and enjoying a quiet night out.
The “Clois” moment suggests that the relationship between the two characters will be a key element of the movie. We can expect to see their love story unfold alongside Superman’s adventures.
3. The Return of a Familiar Face
While not explicitly confirmed, there’s speculation that Christopher Reeve, the original Superman from the 1978 film, will make a cameo appearance in the reboot. Some sources claim to have seen Reeve’s likeness used in a scene involving a holographic projection of the Man of Steel.
The inclusion of Reeve’s character would be a touching tribute to the legacy of the iconic superhero and a welcome surprise for longtime fans.
2. Krypto the Superdog
We’ve already seen photos of a dog actor dressed in a Krypto costume, but a new set photo confirms that the Superdog will be joined by a whole menagerie of animal companions.
The photo shows a squirrel wearing a costume similar to the one worn by the Green Lantern, as well as a cat and a dog. It seems that Superman’s animal friends will play a significant role in the movie, and they could even be involved in some of the action sequences.
1. A Curious Cameo
The most intriguing reveal from the set is the appearance of a character who seems to be a direct reference to “Superman: The Movie” – a young boy dressed as the Man of Steel.
The boy, who looks to be around 10 years old, is wearing a similar costume to the one worn by Christopher Reeve in the original film. This could be a subtle nod to the film’s legacy, or it could have a more significant role in the story.
What’s Next for Superman?
While these latest developments offer a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Superman, there are still many mysteries surrounding the film. We’re eager to see how the characters and storylines will unfold, and we can’t wait for more news from the set.
James Gunn’s Superman promises to be a fresh and exciting take on the iconic superhero, one that honors the past while embracing the future. We’re excited to see what he has in store for us and can’t wait for the film’s release.
