A brand-new Superman movie is flying into theaters in 2025 and the film will pay tribute to one of the best Superman stars, the late Christopher Reeve. Reeve played Superman and Clark Kent in the 1978 film and its three sequels. Now, his son Will Reeve, will make a cameo in the new movie to honor his dad and despite being on TV all the time, he admitted that he was really nervous about it.

Will, who works as an ABC News correspondent, said about the cameo, “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].” He added, “It was a really great experience; they were super friendly; it was quick, easy…I was actually more nervous doing that than I am whenever I’m on TV for my normal job cuz there was so many people around and I had to memorize one line, but still!”

Will kept the role and details about the movie under wraps because he said that he doesn’t know how much he is allowed to reveal but he did admit that his role is a “blink and you’ll miss it” kind. IMDb credits the 32-year-old as a “TV Reporter” in the new film, which makes sense!
