Will Reeve, son of the late actor Christopher Reeve, has opened up to TMZ about his experience filming a small role in James Gunn's “Superman.” It was a watershed moment as Will's father played the Man of Steel in four comic book movies, including Richard Donner's 1978 blockbuster “Superman.” diverse It was reported earlier this month that Will would appear in Jan's new film.
“I know the people who make the film, and they were very kind to me and my family, and I had a free day, so we made it. [happen]”Reeve told TMZ:
“I don’t know what I’m allowed to say,” he added. “It was a really great experience; they were so friendly; it was quick and easy… I was actually more nervous doing it than I would be when I’m on TV in my normal job because there were so many people around and I had to memorize one line, but still!”
Will worked as a correspondent for ABC News, and rumor has it that his appearance in “Superman” was a television reporter’s appearance. Gunn recently wrapped a six-week shoot in Cleveland, where Will made his appearance. The screenwriter and director confirmed that “we’re not done yet” and that “there’s two weeks left,” adding, “It’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!”
Christopher Reeve’s children, Will and his older siblings Matthew and Alexandra, have been celebrating their father’s legacy this year with the documentary “Superman,” which had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and was sold to Warner Bros. in a deal worth an estimated $15 million. The siblings appear in the film and were on the Park City lot to promote it. They’re expected to be a big part of the promotion when the film hits theaters Sept. 21.
Alexandra said diverse The documentary is a “beautiful gift” because it’s rare to “see your parents’ lives told in full detail… to see a good life on screen in all its complexity. We wanted people to see the ups and downs, the public face and what’s going on at home.”
“It’s a gift. We’re so lucky,” Matthew added. “Not only do we have his films to watch, we also have a collection of home movies to look through and interviews of his on YouTube to look through. Seeing things I’ve never seen before has not changed my perception of him, it’s enhanced it… like some rare Australian interviews from 1977 that were uploaded that I didn’t know existed. It was so cool to see that and discover so much more material than we ever knew.”
Superman is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025, produced by Warner Bros.
