Christopher Reeve’s son talks ‘Superman’ cameo

Son of iconic Superman star Christopher Reeve, Will Reeve is not far behind as he made a cameo in James Gunn’s 2025 Superman movie.

Speaking to the New York Post, he admitted that he hadn’t even gotten back after filming it and it had already leaked online, “I went on set, I did my thing for a few minutes, and then got in the car to head back to the airport to go home. And by the time I had gotten to the gate, it had leaked online that I had a cameo.”

About the opportunity, he said, “I was honored to get the call from the wonderful filmmakers, and I jumped at the opportunity. And it was a nice homage, I think, to my dad, who for millions of people has been Superman for generations, and for the filmmakers of this new version of Superman. To include me as a way to include him meant a lot.”

As a journalist who makes appearances on Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight, Will remarked, “I will not tell you what my line was. But I can tell you that I was playing a close approximation of myself.”
