James Gunn’s Superman is currently undergoing production, and a lot of fans have been excited for the photos of the characters from the film including Mr. Terrific and the Man of Steel himself. Now we have Nathan Fillion joining the set.
We know that there are several other heroes showing up in the movie, and some set photos (via Cleveland.com) have just revealed a look at Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Corps. member Guy Gardner. Check this out:

Not only do we get a look at Gardner, but the set photos have also revealed Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl. She doesn’t have the practical wings, but it does look like all three JSA members (including Mr. Terrific) are wearing uniforms.
Fans have also pointed out that each uniform I also sporting the Lordtech logo—as in DC villain Maxwell Lord. We know that Lex Luthor is going to show up in the film, but it does look like James Gunn is going to be kickstarting his new DC with established heroes and villains, and Max Lord can very well be running his own superteam as a PR stunt while Lex has his own nefarious plans going on at LexCorp.
It’s unclear how Gunn wants to approach his rebooted DCU, but seeing how Marvel has kind of stumbled since Endgame, it’s possible that Gunn and his writers team are thinking about a different way to approach the superhero franchise while making it future-proof.
We may not be seeing a Justice League team-up in the next couple of years, but hopefully Gunn has found a way to bring back the hype for superheroes after the alleged slump the genre has been on for the past few years.
Superman comes to cinemas on July 11, 2025.
