Posted by Neil Cole
Following reports that Henry Cavill has joined director Zack Snyder in Detroit, MI to begin work on the 2016 follow-up to "Man of Steel," now comes word that the Superman actor was recently spotted in Chicago, IL.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Cavill along with his girlfriend, MMA fighter & actress Gina Carano, were spotted this past Sunday at Jack’s On Halsted in the Lakeview East neighborhood.
It remains unclear if Cavill was in the Chicago area to perform any work on the "Man of Steel" sequel which, according to Illinois Film Office director Betsy Steinberg, is not scheduled to begin until later this Fall.
While a vast majority of the first movie filmed in and around the Chicago area including Plano and Sugar Grove, the highly anticipated sequel is expected to primarily film in Michigan.
The yet-to-be-officially-titled film stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. The film also stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and reunites “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.
The new film is currently being written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.
The film is set to open worldwide on May 6, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.
