God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own."

James Gunn could not express enough gratitude to everyone involved in making the film. He continued, "It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

In the film’s cast list, Will Reeve will have a cameo role in which he plays a TV reporter. Reeve is the son of Christopher Reeve who famously played Superman until his passing away. As such, his role in the upcoming movie bridges with nostalgia between the previous Superman films and this 2025 version.
