It is said that the scene Reeve will cameo in is a major scene in the movie.
The other way Christopher Reeve's legacy is being celebrated is through the documentary by Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui. Super/Man chronicles the career of the late actor, with appearances by all the Reeve children.

The documentary was shown during the Sundance Film Festival, where Will Reeve provided his thoughts on seeing it in full.

“The majority of my memories of my dad involve him after the accident because I was not yet three years old when he was injured. So to see his entire life leading up until that time laid out so poetically and cinematically and authentically by our wonderful directors has been a real gift for me.”
The Super/Man documentary was sold to Warner Bros. Discovery after the festival, who will release it to select theatres on September 21. An encore presentation will follow on September 25, the birthday of Christopher Reeve. James Gunn’s Superman is set to be the first of the new DC Universe films, opening Chapter One: Gods and Monsters on July 11, 2025.
