Superman: Man of Tomorrow Starts Filming at Atlanta Prison

The shoot at a working federal prison has drawn inmate complaints that officials say overstate the disruption.

Overview

  • James Gunn’s set photo, posted Monday, confirmed cameras are rolling at FCI Atlanta, which is standing in for the DCU’s VanKull prison.
  • Reports Thursday said some inmates complained of longer cell time and no commissary access during the shoot, according to a TMZ source.
  • The Federal Bureau of Prisons later said feedback inside the facility has been positive and that any changes were kept minimal.
  • Officials also noted meals were being prepared hot in housing units during filming, which they said improved food quality for some inmates.
  • Sources described work as confined to a small section of the prison and expected to move on soon, as the film continues toward a July 9, 2027 release.
