James Gunn recently finished filming Superman in Cleveland and moves on to Cincinnati, where some fans think it could be the home of the Hall of Justice, the headquarters of the Justice League.
“Cleveland – today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting. From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place,” Gunn posted on social media two days ago. “I would walk down your streets and someone would stop me and tell me how grateful they were we were shooting in their city – not once, not twice, but dozens of times.”
He continued with mention of the background actors that made the shoot Cleveland shoot possible.
“The wonderful background actors on the film were always so fun and funny and they clapped after takes, something that reminded us Hollywood cynics why we make movies in the first place. The pride you feel in being where Jerry and Joe first created Superman was invigorating. You exemplify his spirit,” said Gunn.
He added, “But just as much it’s the pride you have in your community, your hometown, your radio stations and restaurants and gathering places that touched me. Every city would be so lucky to have people that loved their city as much as you. You simply couldn’t have been more wonderful, kind, or accommodating to me and our performers and crew. Thank you a thousand times over for being our friends and partners on this film. Much love to you all.”
Gunn also clarified to a fan he isn’t done filming Superman.
“We are not done shooting. Still a couple weeks left. Just done shooting in Cleveland. And yeah it’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!” he posted on Threads.

Regarding the Justice League, Gunn’s flick does feature Green Lantern, Hawkeye, Mister Terrific, and possibly Supergirl, and more. Gunn’s DCU also has its own Batman.
