Casting directors are looking for extras in an upcoming Warner Bros. Superman film, set to be filmed in the Macon area toward the end of May. The movie was initially titled Superman: Legacy, as a part of James Gunn’s DC Universe reboot. However, Gunn recently simplified the title to Superman.

An updated announcement on auditionsfree.com, referencing centralcasting.com, specifies the need for individuals in Middle Georgia who can portray characters of South Asian or Caucasian descent for specific scenes. South Asians of all ages, including minors, are encouraged to apply, while white actors must be 18 years old or older.

According to the release, “You will be asked to run in the sand with loud sounds going off occasionally around you, so please be sure you are physically equipped and can work for 12 hours a day for four days straight in Macon, Georgia.”

To get involved in the movie, individuals are requested to send their name, contact details (including phone number and email), and a recent photo to [email protected]. 

Additionally, candidates have the option to sign up with Central Casting by visiting centralcasting.com/ga/sign-up.

Despite the Superman shoot being limited to just a few days, production teams are expected to spend an extended period in Macon to prepare for filming. Although specific filming locations have not been officially disclosed, insider information suggests that a film crew will establish temporary facilities in the Terminal Station following the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission’s relocation to Macon Mall. These dates align with the shooting schedule outlined in the casting announcement.

Additional reports indicate that filming for the movie is presently underway at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville.

Plot summaries suggest that the film will explore Superman’s attempt to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his upbringing as Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. Immortalized as the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, Superman faces the challenge of upholding these ideals in a world where they are often deemed outdated. 

The role of the new Superman will be played by David Corenswet. 

The movie is set to be released on July 11, 2025.
