James Gunn has confirmed that location filming has begun on Superman in Norway.
Gunn spoke with Norwegian outlet Svalbardposten, saying, “We have filmed the first scenes [in Svalbard], which show Superman fleeing to the Fortress of Solitude.” He went on to add, “We wanted a place that was beautiful and felt like being in the middle of the Arctic, so we looked at several places in the world. But there were many things that sold Svalbard for us over the other places.”
“First, there is the natural beauty. But there’s also the fact that you’ll find a varied landscape here that you won’t find anywhere else. Nature gives a special feeling,” Gunn added.
A photo is also making the rounds of Gunn on location.
