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.
