Downtown Cleveland doubled for [[Manhattan]] in ''[[Spider-Man 3]]'' (2007), ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012), and ''[[The Fate of the Furious]]'' (2017), and for [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] in [[James Gunn]]'s ''[[Superman (2025 film)|Superman]]'' (2025). Future productions are handled by the [[Greater Cleveland Film Commission]] at the [[Leader Building]] on Superior Avenue.<ref name="Cle-Enc-Film" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Morona |first=Joey |date=June 24, 2024 |title=It's a bird!
