SUPERMAN Sets Up To Film At Cincinnati Union Terminal; James Gunn Updates On Possible SDCC Teaser

Production on Superman has moved to Cincinnati, and the crew is now hard at work setting up to film at the Union Terminal building, which will surely double as the Hall of Justice...

James Gunn's Superman reboot wrapped filming in Cleveland yesterday, and crews are now setting up to begin shooting in Cincinnati at the historic Union Terminal building.

When we first heard that the movie would be shooting in Cincinnati, fans immediately speculated this building would factor into the plot in some capacity, as it was the inspiration for the Justice League's headquarters in the comics.

Will the Union Terminal actually double for the Hall of Justice in the film? We don't know for certain, but with the Man of Steel joining forces with several other heroes, there's always a chance that an early incarnation of the Justice League (or the JLI) will be formed.

So far, the only actor to be spotted on set is Edi Gathegi (Mr. Terrific), but we should get to see some more revealing photos when filming officially gets underway tomorrow.

In related news, Gunn has confirmed that we will not get a first look at some footage from Superman at SDCC next week. DC Studios is not expected to have much of a presence at the event, so this isn't too surprising - although we have seen sizzle reels of movies that were still shooting at Comic-Con in the past.

Superman also stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl is also rumored to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie, but that's yet to be confirmed.

We're still not sure exactly how these other superheroes will factor into the story, but Gunn has previously revealed that Superman's dual-life as both Clark Kent and the Man of Steel will be explored in the film, suggesting that these characters will be his "super friends." Whether they'll be part of an actual team or not remains to be seen.

“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn captioned the first official photo earlier this year. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film ‘Superman: Legacy.’ By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN,” he added. “Making our way to you July 2025.”

@OriginalGusto1 - Daredevil Season 2. When the Hand realizes that Barrett’s leg monitor is giving out a signal, they started to cut his ankle off. Luckily for him, DD showed up then and freed the hostages.

Daredevil doesn't need body armor. He dodges [frick]ing bullets.

@OriginalGusto1 - be careful with your ankle monitor. they're a b1tch to find a way to get off, "the man" gets suspicious when you don't move an inch for a week, and then getting caught they send you back to the slammer and it cost over a thousand bucks to fix it .... on your dime.

I mean, I heard about it. ya know, a friend I ran into at a bar in Okinawa....

@OriginalGusto1 - turns him into a version of The Guardian from DC. Too similar.

If Guy , Hawkgirl , Terrific and perhaps Metamorpho are part of this corporate sponsored superhero team by Maxwell Lord then i could just see this being their headquarters honestly rather then something Superman and the others form at the end…

Also might be too late now but i hope we get a DC FanDome-esque event later this year in order to get more details and even see possible footage on these upcoming projects.

@JobinJ - Superman could use a little "corny". Superman deconstruction and moody edginess needs to take a break.

Let's see how it looks like compared to the Arrowverse's.

@NinnesMBC - that’s pretty good

I do hope it has the Hall of Justice on it though haha.

@NinnesMBC - They actually cooked with the design here, it was odd how well they did considered it was arrowverse

If it looked less grimy, and had a actual justice league be perfect

@TheVisionary25 - If you're theory is correct and the building it's also owned by Maxwell Lord then I'd tone down expectations. Unless it's added at the end to show that the world is starting to change thanks to Supermans' influence with the rest of the other heroes that are starting to de-brand themselves from Maxwell.

I appreciate the Arrowverse's for also having that fountain in the middle. If this movie's got that one then it'll be on par.

NinnesMBC - 7/17/2024, 9:13 PM
@TheRogue - Same here, nothing prepared any of us to see it at the end of Crisis.

They did the best with what they were allowed to thanks to that annoying DC embargo. Most of the founding members were there, with seats and all.

COVID was however what no one could anticipate for more adventures.

@NinnesMBC - it could also be that Max has it on there because they are superheroes and thus can be marketed more as such but at the end , due to Superman’s inspiration they reclaim and try to repurpose it to actually mean something if that makes sense.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 7/17/2024, 9:53 PM
@NinnesMBC - Its actually shocking they managed to get superman in. If it had wonder woman and batman be a good team.

@NinnesMBC - Im sad it never got a show, could have been entertaining at least.

@NinnesMBC - Hall of Justice is really cool to have but I can't wait until we get enough heroes to get the Watchtower.

@TheRogue - They got Batwoman instead of Batman.

Superman, Batwoman, Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. Just missing Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

And I guess you could say that Supergirl is filling in for Wonder Woman, depending on what footwear she's sporting.

Curious... does anyone know if they'll be returning to Georgia to wrap up at all? I know they were there prior to Cincy.
