James Gunn continues filming his big Superman movie starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel in Cleveland, Ohio where set images and video reveal a first look at Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Ed Gathegi as Mister Terrific in action.
We’ve seen set images and video showing off David Corenswet as Clark Kent, suited up with Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and members of the Daily Planet newsroom, as well as a big spoiler scene with Frank Grillo.
We have new "Superman" set photos, including images of David Corenswet in his full Superman suit and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific!

Nicholas Hoult revealed as Lex Luthor
While filming Day 3 on Wednesday, Nicholas Hoult is revealed as Lex Luthor where he is bald and a bit bloodied.
We can guess that whatever attack is happening in Metropolis, Lex has somehow gotten himself involved and maybe got hurt as a result.
Previous set images showed military vehicles labeled “LuthorCorp,” so it could be that LuthorCorp has some sort of black ops contract with the government.
I thought this was interesting: I can't tell if this is Nicholas Hoult for sure, but I thought the bald wig with the scarring was interesting… pic.twitter.com/Ig9M3L2ZVY

Ed Gathegi as Mister Terrific in action
For Day 4, on Thursday, a scene shows Ed Gathegi as Mister Terrific in action, courtesy Cleveland.com.
The scene shows that Mister Terrific is apparently trying to find something which leads him to a local pet store in Metropolis.
Then it looks as if Mister Terrific finds what he is looking for, which my guess could be some sort of alien that will be shown via CGI in the final version of the film. Perhaps that is the “attack” on Metropolis?
Check out additional footage below, and James Gunn recently posted a pic with the cast.
Potential spoiler warning:

Rachel Brosnahan at wrap on Monday afternoon and then leaving the set. It wasn't a very long day for the actors; they started shooting at about 9:00 AM and wrapped by 7:00 PM. A much different experience than my time in the business… pic.twitter.com/Q9qZ7uumQO

I have to say that James Gunn was very good to the fans waiting to meet him at wrap on Monday afternoon. He was very kind and stopped to chat with and take selfies with about a dozen fans. Seems like a really cool guy. pic.twitter.com/0SUuGYXs35
