He’s been known as The Last Son of Krypton, The Man of Tomorrow, The Man of Steel, Big Blue…but we all know him as Superman. When James Gunn officially announced a new slate of DC Studios films, the centerpiece was Superman: Legacy. Filming on that movie is now underway, aptly on the Man of Steel’s birthday.

“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be–coincidentally and unplanned–Superman’s birthday,” the director posted.
