Some cool new behind-the-scenes photos have been released from the set of Superman, which confirm a sweet easter egg from the comics.
In the photos we see a copy of The Daily Planet, which someone snapped a photo of on the set of the film, where the front page reads “Superman Fulfills a Dream” “Flies Cancer Patients to the Egyptian Pyramids.”
The image on the paper sees a superman flying school bus around the pyramids. This is a call back to All-Star Superman, where Kal-El did this with a group of kids from the local hospital.
This is a sweet storyline, and it’s cool to see James Gunn include it. The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent; Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane; Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio, as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.
Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
Superman will launch the movie part of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
