Road closures announced while Superman movie films in Downtown Cleveland

Posted at 2:56 PM, Jun 24, 2024

Motorists in Downtown Cleveland will need to plan an alternate route through the city for the next two weeks until the new Superman movie wraps.

The city said the closures are in effect to "ensure the safety of both the film crew and the public."

Film crews have been hard at work turning Superior Avenue Downtown from a modern Cleveland to an older Metropolis, which also happens to be the mythical home of Superman, hearkening back to an era when storefronts with awnings and merchants in aprons dominated the Downtown scene of cities across the country.

Forget Metropolis, The Daily Planet is now located in Downtown Cleveland
