News of Christopher Reeve’s son comes via Cleveland.com where it’s learned Will Reeve will play a reporter in the movie. In real life, Will Reeve is a journalist and correspondent for ABC News and a former commentator for ESPN.

Fans have also questioned James Gunn about all the perceived leaks and spoilers coming out of the Cleveland set. However, it should be set Gunn is filming outside in the view of the public, so they’re not exactly leaks.

When questioned by a fan about the leaks, Gunn responded on social media, “Fully expected… I’d never shoot a big spoiler outside in the middle of the city.”
