Christopher Reeve’s son, Will, paid tribute to his late father at a recent red carpet event for James Gunn’s new Superman movie. The 1978 superhero classic marked a pivotal moment in the franchise and the film industry for Christopher Reeve, who played Superman/Clark Kent.
Will Reeve attended the premiere alongside director James Gunn, other stars, and his half-siblings Matthew and Alexandra. He revealed that he had secretly worn cuff links owned by his late father during the event, a personal gesture of respect to honor his family’s connection to the character.
The coincidence was significant as the red carpet marked the same venue where Christopher Reeve’s Superman film premiered in 1978 at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. For Will Reeve, the experience was especially meaningful, given his close relationship with the franchise and role that defined his father’s career.
Will’s cameo appearance in the new Superman movie was small but notable, and audience members praised him for his nod to his family’s legacy. The film is set to open in theaters nationwide on Friday, offering fans a fresh take on the iconic superhero.
