Another Superman means another Metropolis. This time around it's mainly Cleveland, Ohio, with some Cincinnati and just a bit of Macon, Georgia. Discover exactly where.

The production was based at Atlanta's Trilith Studios so although Metropolis is largely Downtown Cleveland, some practical locations are closer to the studio in Georgia.

The film opens with Superman's 'Antarctic' Fortress of Solitude. The snowy landscapes are just about as far from the Antarctic that you can get.

It's Adventdalen (Advent Valley), a 19-mile-long valley on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, an archipelago about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole.

It lies at the convergence of the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and if you're inspired to visit, it's an adventurous trip. Approximately 60% of the archipelago is covered with glaciers, boasts mountains and fjords and is a place to experience both Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights.

Svalbard Airport, 2 miles from Longyearbyen, is the only airport. Scandinavian Airlines has scheduled services from Tromsø and Oslo.

The action soon kicks off with an aerial battle between Superman (David Corenswet) and 'The Hammer of Boravia' – secretly Ultraman – a tough opponent secretly being controlled by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).
