Watch: 'Superman' crews appear to be setting up at Museum Center

It seems speculation about whether the new Superman movie will shoot at the Cincinnati Museum Center this week is correct.

On Wednesday morning, crews were setting up outside of the Museum Center and signs that read "to set" were posted around the building. There were also trucks with S&K Pictures, Inc. labels on the side. S&K Pictures shares an address with Warner Bros., which is producing the upcoming "Superman" movie.

An Enquirer reporter also spotted various trailers and what appeared to be light fixtures around the building.

The Museum Center, located at Union Terminal, is normally closed Wednesdays. But it's also closed Thursday this week for a private event. July 18 was the last day Angela Boehm Casting listed for a project called "Genesis" to film with police extras. "Genesis" appears to be a codename for the 2025 "Superman."

Union Terminal has a close connection to Superman. It was the inspiration behind the Hall of Justice, the hero headquarters of the Justice League. The close resemblance debuted in the "Super Friends" animated series, as Cincinnati-based Taft Broadcasting owned the show's production company, Hanna-Barbera.

The Enquirer reached out to Film Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Museum Center last week for confirmation on filming dates and location but did not get a response.

A portion of the Lytle Tunnel will also close Thursday for the filming of a new Warner Bros. movie.

The Ohio Department of Transportation said last week that the southbound lanes of Interstate 71 will close at the tunnel from 4-6 p.m. July 18. Closures will last for up to 15 minutes at any time. The frequency of the closures may vary, but according to a traffic advisory, only two 15-minute closures are anticipated during the two-hour time span.

Kathleen Fuller, a public information officer for ODOT, told The Enquirer the department issued a permit to a Warner Bros. Studios production crew to close the tunnel, so that they could shoot a scene for an upcoming film. Fuller could not confirm which movie would be shot in Lytle Tunnel.

"Superman," scheduled to release in July 2025, filmed in Cleveland in June and July.
