The 2025 Superman film, directed by James Gunn, was primarily filmed in Ohio, especially in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Cleveland served as the main backdrop for the fictional city of Metropolis, with specific locations like the historic Leader Building used for the Daily Planet headquarters. Additional filming locations include Mentor, Ohio, where beach and military base scenes were shot, as well as Atlanta, Georgia, where studio work took place. Some scenes were also filmed in Svalbard, Norway, notably for the Fortress of Solitude. This mix of locations helped create the visual identity of the movie.
