A report by the US showbiz news agency quoted James Gunn telling a Norwegian media outlet that he has already filmed initial scenes of the movies where Kal-El, aka Superman, is at the Fortress of Solitude. It is the location where the Kryptonian discovers his real identity.
“We’ve filmed the first scenes which is when Superman flees to the ice fortress,” he was quoted saying in the reported. “We were looking for a location that was beautiful and known to be like being out in the Arctic and therefore looked at multiple locations in the world. But there were a lot of things that sold Svalbard to us above the other places.
“For one, it is the natural beauty. But also that you find a varied landscape here that you don’t find at other places. The nature gives it a special feeling.”
