He posted a photo of himself and cast members, including lead actor David Corenswet (31), on a snowy mountain in Norway. The snapshot was taken during the first week of filming, as he noted in his post. "Bless our actors and crew, whose dedication, creativity, and hard work brought this project to life," he praised the team.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. It was an honor," he expressed his gratitude to everyone involved. "The goal was Superman, but the journey was the struggle and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and the magic we shared on set," the screenwriter added. The end of filming followed a five-month shooting period. In late February, Gunn announced on Instagram that filming had just begun.
