Gunn’s Superman Filming Shifts to Cincinnati: A Nod to Justice League?
James Gunn Tackles DC’s Iconic Hero
James Gunn, the mastermind behind Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” is now deep-diving into the DC Comics pool with his latest project: Superman. Why stop at saving the universe when there’s a whole multiverse to tackle? Gunn is setting off on this endeavor by filming at Union Terminal in Cincinnati, a location fans believe to be a stand-in for the Justice League’s Hall of Justice.
After a six-week filming spree in Cleveland, Gunn is reportedly moving on to Cincinnati. This move has sparked speculation that the location could indeed serve as the Justice League’s illustrious headquarters. Hollywood magic turns railroad stations into superhero lairs, and fans are eager to see the transformation.
A Love Letter to Cleveland
Gunn’s public admiration for Cleveland was nothing short of heartwarming. He gushed about everything from the city’s visually striking Terminal Tower lit up in Superman colors to the resounding adoration of the local community. In his social media posts, Gunn transformed from a film director into a love-struck teenager.
Addressing the city, Gunn stated, “The pride you feel in being where Jerry and Joe first created Superman was invigorating. Every city would be so lucky to have people that loved their city as much as you.” Cleveland, with its rich Superman history, has become the most eligible bachelorette in town. Gunn’s Superman might feature more meaningful cityscapes than phone booths and Daily Planet offices.
The Next Chapter: Cincinnati
As the production moves to Cincinnati’s Union Terminal, a location that closely resembles the Hall of Justice, fans’ excitement continues to build. Gunn’s cinematic road trip through iconic American cities is paying homage to the superheroic landmarks. Is he trying to get a toll discount? With Gunn, anything is possible.
The star-studded Superman flick doesn’t just focus on the boy from Krypton. It includes a stellar cast with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, David Corenswet as Clark Kent, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It’s shaping up to be more like a Justice League alumni meet.
The Final Stretch
Gunn has confirmed that the journey with the Kryptonian is far from over. “Just done shooting in Cleveland. And yeah, it’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!” he teased. Fans are eagerly awaiting the final product, wondering if the Man of Steel will make friends with Cincinnati’s adorable mascot, Fiona the Hippo. That, my dear friends, is the million-dollar question.
Save the Date
Superheroes and superfans, mark your calendars for July 11, 2025. It’s time to swap capes and cowls for popcorn tubs because Superman is flying into theaters near you. With Gunn at the helm, this is one cinematic journey you won’t want to miss.
