Christopher Reeve’s Son Will Confirms Cameo in Upcoming “Superman”, Says He Was ‘Nervous’ Shooting It

Will Reeve, who is an ABC News correspondent, said that he was more nervous on the movie set than he is at his normal job

Will Reeve has a super cameo coming up.

The son of Christopher Reeve, who portrayed Superman in the 1978 film plus three sequels, spoke about his upcoming big-screen role, confirming the rumors that he would be part of the 2025 Superman film directed by James Gunn.

In an on-the-street interview with TMZ, Reeve, 32, spoke about how the cameo came together. "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]," Will said.

When asked about what his role in the upcoming film entails, Will wouldn't budge. "I don't know what I'm allowed to say," Reeve continued.

"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 also said that he didn't think he had "what it takes to be an actor," but encouraged everyone to see the movie anyway. "Blink and you'll miss it," he added, possibly alluding to his role.

Entertainment Weekly reached out to Warner Bros. for further comment.

The ABC News correspondent, whose real-life job isn't unlike his late father's role as Clark Kent of The Daily Planet, is also involved in the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.

The movie, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, focuses on Christopher and his career, and the aftermath of his 1995 horseback riding accident that left him paralyzed. He died in 2004 from cardiac arrest.

Christopher's children Matthew, Alexandra and Will are featured in the documentary. The actor's late wife Dana, who died in 2006 after being diagnosed with lung cancer, is also featured.

Will previously told PEOPLE in November about his resemblance to his father. "I think that if the public might find a little interest in, 'Oh, he his looks like his famous dad,' that's great," he said at the time.

"That means they're talking about my family in a positive light and remembering our dad and our mom and our family in a way that honors them."

Will added that he "always takes that as a compliment." "I think that I had two beautiful parents, inside and out, and if I bear any resemblance to them physically, or temperamentally, or in my values, then I take that as a compliment every day."

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story premieres on Sept. 21. Superman flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.
