“#Cleveland – today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting,” Gunn wrote in the caption. “From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place. I would walk down your streets and someone would stop me and tell me how grateful they were we were shooting in their city – not once, not twice, but dozens of times.”

Gunn shared a few photos of the cast and crew, including David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and others out to dinner. On Threads, one user asked if Superman has completed filming, to which Gunn explained how much time remains on the shoot.

“We are not done shooting. Still a couple weeks left. Just done shooting in Cleveland. And yeah it’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!” Gunn wrote on Threads.

James Cameron’s next movie after his Avatar sequels might surprise you
James Cameron claps his hands while sitting in front of a microphone.

For the first time this century, James Cameron will leave Pandora to helm another feature film. Per Deadline, Cameron has purchased the rights to Charles Pellegrino‘s forthcoming book Ghosts of Hiroshima. Cameron plans to combine Ghosts of Hiroshima with Pellegrino's 2015 book Last Train From Hiroshima to make one “uncompromising theatrical film.”

Cameron's Last Train From Hiroshima will be shot when "Avatar production permits." Set during World War II, the true story revolves around the two nuclear explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After surviving the Hiroshima blast, a Japanese man boards a train to Nagasaki, where he survives his second atomic blast. Pellegrino's books use eyewitness accounts from the Japanese survivors and the American pilots to drive the narrative.
“It’s a subject that I’ve wanted to do a film about, that I’ve been wrestling with how to do it, over the years,” Cameron told Deadline. “I met Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a survivor of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just days before he died. He was in the hospital. He was handing the baton of his personal story to us, so I have to do it. I can’t turn away from it.”
Pellegrino's Ghosts of Hiroshima will be published in August 2025, the 80th anniversary of the atomic bomb drop.
