Editing Superman (2025) (section)

=== Filming ===
Principal photography began on February 29, 2024, which was the canonical birthday of Superman, at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, under the working title Genesis. [[Henry Braham]] is serving as the cinematographer after previously doing so on the latter two ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' films, ''The Suicide Squad'' and ''The Flash'', marking his fourth collaboration with Gunn. To coincide with the start of filming, Gunn announced that the film's title was shortened to ''Superman'', which he decided after completing the final draft. Gunn planned to shoot the film for IMAX. 37 days of filming are set to take place in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, from April 1 through August 23. Filming is also expected to take place in Macon, Georgia, and to last around four months. It was delayed from an initial January 2024 start by the SAG-AFTRA strike.

At the start of March, [[Wendell Pierce]] was cast as Perry White. Filming at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, had begun by March 8 and is expected to last until August 2. Filming was set to take place in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, for 37 days between April 1 and August 23. Filming was also expected to take place in Macon, Georgia. Later in April, [[Pruitt Taylor Vince]] and [[Neva Howell]] were cast as Jonathan and Martha Kent. In early June, [[Beck Bennett]], [[Mikaela Hoover]], and newcomer [[Christopher McDonald]] were cast as respective Daily Planet employees Steve Lombard, Cat Grant and Ron Troupe. Hoover previously appeared in several of Gunn's films. Characters from the animated DCU series ''Creature Commandos'' (2024) were expected to appear in the film by mid-June, and it was the intention of Gunn and Safran that the same actors would portray characters across animation and live-action in the DCU; set photos revealed that [[Frank Grillo]] was reprising his voice role as Rick Flag Sr. from that series.

The production moved to Northeast Ohio on June 14, when filming took place at the Headlands Beach State Park in Mentor, Ohio. Six weeks of filming took place throughout Cleveland, beginning in downtown Cleveland on June 24. Filming locations included Ontario Street, the Cleveland Greyhound Station, Public Square, the Detroit–Superior Bridge, PNC Plaza, Progressive Field, and Cleveland Arcade. Exterior shots of the Huntington Bank Building, Key Tower, and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument were filmed in Public Square. The exterior of the Leader Building stood in for the headquarters of the Daily Planet, and Key Tower was used as the headquarters for Stagg Enterprises. Filming in Cleveland was completed on July 16, when Gunn said there were a couple weeks left of shooting. The production was then set to move to Cincinnati by July 18, to take place at the Cincinnati Museum Center in the Union Terminal and in a portion of the Lytle Tunnel. Hoult had wrapped filming his part by July 24.
