Nathan Fillion insisted that Guy Gardner sport the same bowl cut he does in the comics despite early discussions about changing the hairstyle. He said, "There was some talk about different hairstyles. There was some talk about some different types of things we were going to go. I was team bowl cut the whole way. It's canon. It's set. I said, If we don't do a bowl cut, we're going to hear about it."
Upon the release of the film, Superman actor David Corenswet revealed that his predecessor, Henry Cavill, wrote him a letter of support and encouragement. Corenswet said he'd keep the details to himself, as it was a meaningful and personal gesture between him and Cavill.
The return of Superman's iconic trunks was requested by David Corenswet, who justified it thusly: "I'm an alien from outer space who can fly and lift buildings, and I shoot laser beams out of my eyes that can dissolve things. I want kids to not be afraid of me. So, what am I going to wear?"
Five Green Lantern rings were made for the film. Nathan Fillion kept one, and wore it to the premiere.
One of the Raptor soldiers, the armed force employed by Lex Luthor to take down Superman, is played by Michael Rosenbaum, who previously played Luthor on Smallville (2001).
