To this day, Christopher Reeve is the actor most associated with the role of Superman, having portrayed him in the first four Superman films. James Gunn is honoring that legacy with his upcoming film version of the comic book hero. He's given a cameo in the new film to Reeve's youngest son, journalist and ABC News correspondent Will Reeve, who will be playing a TV reporter. David Corenswet now inhabits the blue-and-red tights in the character’s latest revival, written and directed by Gunn. The film arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.
