Now’s your chance! Apply to be an extra in James Gunn’s new ‘Superman’ movie filming in Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Warner Bros’ new Superman movie will be filming in Cleveland and Cincinnati in the coming months, and a Northeast Ohio casting agency released details this week about how you can be cast an extra.
Angela Boehm Casting posted details on their social media Tuesday about the project’s shoot dates, hourly rates and much more.
The project, listed under the code name “Genesis,” will shoot in Cleveland from June 17 to July 16. They will also shoot in Cincinnati on July 17 and 18.
Background rate for the film starts at $12/hour, with a guarantee of eight hours.
The post also outlined other rates and needs, such as stand-ins and children.
The general interest form for those looking to apply also asks about schedule conflicts, sizes and other optional roles.
According to the film’s Ohio tax application, “Superman,” or “Genesis” which was the early title of the film, was allowed to start pre-production earlier this year on February 5.
The application lists the production-related budget as $363,845,386. The film will be awarded $11,091,686.70 in tax credit from the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit.
Though the film is listed under a code name, “Superman” is the true project based on the director listed, James Gunn, the cast list, including David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nathan Fillian, and the production company S&K Pictures, Inc, which is a subsidiary of Warner Bros.
The application reveals 25% of the total production will be filmed in Ohio. Though the application does not yet list specific addresses, the two Ohio filming locations are listed as Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Production is expected to take place between April 1 and August 23.
19 News has reached out to the Cleveland Film Commission for details on filming locations, job and acting opportunities and they released the following statement:
Back in 1938, the very first Superman comic book was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Clevelanders, to help people get through the Great Depression.
James Gunn announced last November “Superman” will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Cleveland mother accused of burying daughters in suitcases prompts new focus on parenting bill
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A Cleveland mother was charged with two counts of murder after her daughters were found in suitcases partially buried in a park near E. 165th and Midland Ave last week.
In the days that followed, we spoke with DeShaun Chatman, who is the father of 8-year-old Mila Chatman.
He said he’s been trying for years to get access to his daughter but felt the courts and Child Protective Services (CPS) weren’t working with him.
There is a law in Columbus working its way through the process trying to clarify parenting roles and rights.
Senate Bill 174 (SB174) was passed in November and is currently sitting waiting in a House committee.
At the time the bill was passed one of the bill’s sponsors, Senator Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) said, “No one is a winner in parenting disputes. But if anyone is, it should be the kids. By passing this legislation, the Ohio Senate is taking the first step toward encouraging cooperation between separated parents.”
The bill has a number of provisions looking to make it easier for a judge to give equal rights to both the mother and father.
For example, it would prohibit a judge from giving preference to a father or a mother based on a person’s financial status or gender.
It also requires a parenting plan be filed that shows parenting and decisions will be a shared responsibility regardless of marital status.
There is also a prevision that would allow unmarried parents to file a complaint at no charge, requesting the allocation of parenting rights and responsibilities upon the father establishing parentage and provides an expedited hearing and temporary orders.
