CLEVELAND — It’s well known now that the backdrop for the new “Superman” movie is Cleveland, but The Land is getting even more exposure with the film’s new movie poster.

Shortly after the trailer for the movie dropped this week, director James Gunn shared a new poster on X, thanking the city for being part of the film.

The poster features Superman, played by David Corenswet, and his dog, Krypto, overlooking the Cleveland skyline with the Cuyahoga River below.

Last summer, the city was buzzing as the cast and crew filmed the movie throughout the area. Cleveland looked a whole lot like Hollywood as filming ensued, including Superior Avenue turning into Concord Street in Metropolis, where Superman and Lois Lane work at The Daily Planet.

Though, the movie and the poster is almost an ode to the original creators of “Superman.” The character was created by Glenville High School students Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the 30s, according to Case Western Reserve University.

The rest of the world can enjoy the film and sights of Cleveland when “Superman” premiers July 11.
