Caption: Will Reeve to make cameo in upcoming Superman movie to honour his dad Christopher. Will, who is an ABC News correspondent in real life, was spotted filming a scene of the movie in Cleveland. He’ll reportedly play a TV news reporter in the movie. The 32-year-old "received a hug from director James Gunn and a round of applause from cast and crew members on set," according to local news outlet cleveland.com. Will’s dad Christopher played Superman in the 1978 movie, and for three sequels between 1980 and 1987. In 1995, he was thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition and was left a quadriplegic. He died of heart failure in 2004, aged 52. At this year's Sundance Film Festival, the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, showed how the actor's life changed after his accident and how it spurred him on to become an activist for spinal cord injury treatments and disability rights. Will appeared on the documentary, along with his half-brother and sister Alexandra and Matthew. The new Superman movie stars David Corenswet as the iconic superhero taking over from his predecessor Henry Cavill. Superman is due to be released in July 2025.
