Ohio Goes to the Movies™ (OGTTM) is a statewide celebration of movies showcasing Ohioans: actors, directors, writers, composers, locations, and topics, shown in cities and towns across the state.

Marcus Theatre Pickerington presents Superman (2025), Ohio’s most connected Superhero.

Superman (2025) was filmed in Ohio, with major locations state-wide being used to represent Metropolis. The Cleveland Guardians’ Progressive Field stood in as the home of the Meteors, the Cincinnati Museum Center becomes the Hall of Justice (as the original Hall of Justice was designed after it’s grand exterior), and other locations big and small all help bring Superman back to his roots.

Although his in-text backstory has Kal-El born of Krypton and raised in Smallville, Kansas, Superman’s true origins lie upon the shores of Lake Erie, from the minds of Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster in 1933. These sons of Cleveland sold the rights to Superman in 1938, but they remained connected to the character until their deaths in 1996 and 1992 respectively.

Even the actors hold connections to Ohio, with Hawkgirl portrayed by Cleveland’s own Isabela Merced, who’s acting credits also include Aza Holmes in Turtles All The Way Down (filmed around Cincinnati), Dina in the television adaptation of The Last of Us, and Dora in 2019’s Dora and the Lost City of Gold.

The featured presentation is rated PG-13, so parent discretion is advised.
