Superman: Christopher Reeve’s Son Will Appear in DCU Movie

Christopher Reeve‘s son Will Reeve will appear in James Gunn‘s upcoming DCU superhero movie Superman.

Christopher Reeve is a legendary actor best known for his role as Superman, which he played in the 1978 Superman movie and its sequels, including 1980’s Superman II, 1983’s Superman III, and 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Who is Will Reeve in Superman?

According to a report from Variety, Reeve’s son Will — who is a journalist and ABC News correspondent — is set to appear in the film in a brief cameo role.

While it’s unclear exactly what his role will be, photos of Reeve on set made their way online earlier, showing him dressed up in a suit. After filming, Reeve was seen celebrating with Gunn and the crew.

“Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”

The titular role of Superman is being played by David Corenswet (Pearl, The Politician), while Lois Lane will be played by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan. They’re joined by Nicholas Hoult, Skyler Gisondo, María Gabriela De Faría, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, and more. The film is set to release on July 11, 2025.

The DC Universe’s first phase, called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, will feature a multitude of different movies and television shows. A few of the announced projects include a Batman and Robin-focused movie called The Brave and the Bold, a Supergirl movie titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing film, and multiple TV shows
