Zack Sharf Digital News Director James Gunn announced on Threads that “Superman” is getting closer to the end of filming after the cast and crew wrapped a six-week shoot in Cleveland.

The writer-director stressed that “we are not done shooting” and there’s “still a couple weeks left,” adding: “It’s a long shoot…but we’re getting close!!” Prior to Cleveland, Gunn and his “Superman” cast kicked off production in Atlanta. “Cleveland — today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting,” Gunn posted. “From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place.

I would walk down your streets and someone would stop me and tell me how grateful they were we were shooting in their city — not once, not twice, but dozens of times.” Gunn went on to praise the film’s background actors in Cleveland, noting they “were always so fun and funny and they clapped after takes, something that reminded us Hollywood cynics why we make movies in the first place.” “The pride you feel in being where Jerry [Siegel] and Joe [Shuster] first created Superman was invigorating,” Gunn added. “You exemplify his spirit.

But just as much it’s the pride you have in your community, your hometown, your radio stations and restaurants and gathering places that touched me.” Gunn concluded, “Every city would be so lucky to have people that loved their city as much as you.
