‘Superman’ is currently the hottest upcoming DCU project, despite the Creature Commandos being released first. Now after months of speculation and planning, Gunn was overjoyed to announce that ‘Superman’ had begun principal photography on February 29th which was, coincidentally, Superman’s birthday, in Svalbard, Norway’s Adventdalen Valley. The location was chosen for its resemblance to the Arctic and natural beauty.

As far as the cast goes, 90 % of names have already been revealed. So far, the main cast consists of David Corenswet, who will portray Clark Kent/Superman with Michael Holt as Lex Luthor on the opposite side. Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of Lois Lane, while Isabela Merced is set to play Hawkgirl. Edi Gathegi will depict Mister Terrific, and Nathan Fillion will bring to life Guy Gardner/Green Lantern. Anthony Carrigan is cast as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/Engineer. Sara Sampaio is set to portray Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Sean Gunn will appear as Maxwell Lord.

James Gunn also took to Threads to let the fans know that all the speaking roles in the movie have been filled.
