WISH YOU WERE HERO

THE city of Cleveland becomes Metropolis in much-anticipated new blockbuster Superman, out in July and movie fans can check out some of the iconic locations where scenes were filmed.

Directed by James Gunn, the film stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luther.

Cleveland was chosen for its cinematic appeal and to honour its legacy as the birthplace of Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

Locations include Public Square, where the the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument and surrounding buildings were transformed into Metropolis' bustling centre.

The Leader Building stood in as the exterior of the Daily Planet, while Key Tower became the headquarters for the fictional Stagg Enterprises.

The Cleveland Arcade also provided a stunning setting for one of the film's most memorable moments — a romantic kiss between Superman and Lois Lane beneath the historic glass ceiling.
