During an interview, the director The Flash Andrés Muschietti talked about the Mom and Dad actor’s scene in the movie. The filmmaker said that the actor shot his scene in the Superman suit and it was designed by the same costume designer who created the suit for Superman Lives. While talking about Cage’s scene as Superman, the 49-year-old filmmaker said,

We talked with Nicolas, and we decided to shoot him in his suit. And so, we built the suit with the same costume designer that built the suit for the unproduced ‘Superman Lives,’ which is a movie that would have been great, but nobody will see because it wasn’t made.”

He further added,

“ But the excitement was shared with Nicolas, and Nicolas is such a kind guy, and I think he shared the enthusiasm for bringing back that movie that was never done – even for a couple minutes in our movie. And yeah, the magic of the multiverse is expressing that this universe exists, even though it’s a movie that nobody saw. So, we’re kind of saying that there is a ‘Superman Lives.’”
