David Corenswet’s Superman Will Share an Unexpected Link With Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow

2025’s Superman will now have an surprising connection with 2021’s Black Widow through one of its filming locations.

Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow will remain arguably her most recognized role in her career. The actress played the character for over 10 years. Her heartbreaking sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame still haunts fans, but the actress returned for one last time as the character in 2021’s Black Widow.

The film had an intense opening sequence where Thunderbolt Ross and his forces hunt down Black Widow, who is in hiding after the events of Captain America: Civil War. One of the notable locations that was included in this sequence was Georgia’s Macon Terminal Station. Now, James Gunn’s Superman is set to film in that popular location for one of its scenes.
