The movie was filmed in various locations in the United States and Norway. In the US, filming took place in Ohio (Cleveland, Mentor and Cincinnati) and Georgia (Atlanta). Cleveland and Cincinnati were chosen to create the urban landscape of Metropolis, while Atlanta provided state-of-the-art studio facilities. Norway, specifically the Svalbard archipelago (Svalbard), was used to shoot the Krypton scenes due to its stark and out-of-this-world landscapes. These locations helped create a contrast between Clark Kent's earthly life and his alien origins.

The bridge in Metropolis
In movie
Scene where A catastrophe occurs in Metropolis: a giant fire-breathing monster attacks the city and with its fiery breath destroys a tall building that falls onto a bridge. The exact reasons for the monster's appearance are unknown, but there is speculation that it is the result of Lex Luthor's scientific experiments or a creature of alien origin.
Real
Scene was shot in the city of Cleveland, Ohio. The bridge we see in the fictional Metropolis is actually located in Cleveland and is named the Veterans Memorial Bridge, also known as the Detroit-Superior Bridge. What makes the bridge special is its historical and architectural significance. It was built in the early 20th century and is an example of the engineering excellence of the time. The upper level of the bridge is used for automobile, bicycle and pedestrian traffic, while the lower level was previously used for streetcar traffic, which adds to its uniqueness. For the movie Superman 2025, this bridge was a great location due to its imposing appearance and historical significance. Its massive arches and industrial landscape provide the perfect backdrop for the superhero scenes, adding drama and visual appeal. The appearance of this bridge in the film also adds to the recognizability of the location, making it more memorable to viewers.
