Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story Trailer Debuts, Offering Intimate Look at Iconic Actor

A new documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, has released a poignant trailer ahead of its limited theatrical release in September. The three-minute clip offers a glimpse into the life of the iconic actor who portrayed Superman in four films.

The trailer begins with nostalgic footage of Reeve as the Man of Steel, but quickly shifts focus to the tragic horse riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. The documentary explores Reeve’s remarkable resilience and his subsequent journey as an advocate for disability rights and a pioneer in spinal cord injury research.

Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, Super/Man features never-before-seen home movies, personal archive material, and interviews with Reeve’s family and friends. The film will be available in theaters for two days only: September 21st and 25th, 2024. Tickets are on sale now.

Reeve’s legacy will be further honored in the upcoming Superman film starring David Corenswet. His son, Will Reeve, will make a cameo appearance, serving as a subtle nod to his father’s iconic portrayal of the Man of Steel.
