Christopher Reeve’s Son Will ‘Had to Memorize One Line’ for His Cameo in James Gunn’s ‘Superman’: ‘I Was Actually Nervous Doing That’


Will Reeve, the son of late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, had to memorize one line for his cameo in James Gunn's new "Superman" movie.

Will Reeve, son of the late actor Christopher Reeve, gave his first comments to TMZ about what it was like filming a cameo for James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman.” It’s a full circle moment as Will’s father played the Man of Steel in in four comic book tentpoles, including Richard Donner’s iconic 1978 “Superman.” Variety reported earlier this month that Will would be making an appearance in Gunn’s new movie. “I know the folks making the film, and they’ve been so kind to me and my family, and I had a free day, so we made it [happen],” Reeve told TMZ. Christopher Reeve’s children, Will and older siblings Matthew and Alexandra, have been celebrating their father’s legacy this year thanks to the documentary “Super/Man,” which world premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and got sold to Warner Bros. in a deal worth roughly $15 million.
