In the DC universe, it has been a whirlwind of changes, all orchestrated by James Gunn. Henry Cavill has already taken his leave from the role of Superman, making way for a fresh perspective in Superman: Legacy. Fans, eager to witness David Corenswet’s take on the iconic hero, have to exercise patience as they wait for the new vision to unfold. Additionally, Gunn’s inspired approach, drawing from Superman: Birthright and All-Star Superman, proved to be a lot to digest for devoted fans.

The wait came with tantalizing sneak peeks to keep the fans on their toes. With Stephane Ceretti, known for his work in The Prestige and Matrix sequels, stepping on board as the VFX supervisor, expectations soared to new heights. Moreover, the buzz about the new shooting location in Norway and Atlanta added fuel to the fire, igniting fans’ excitement. Gunn, together with Ceretti and the crew, has grand plans to film amidst the picturesque Northern Lights. Fans cannot help but dream of the Fortress of the Fortitude.

The term Fortress of Solitude is not merely a literary reference; it holds a more profound significance. Originally, it represented Superman’s covert refuge, a small fragment of his native planet Krypton, discreetly situated in the Arctic. It provided him solace, offering an opportunity to reconnect with his true self.

Fans predict ‘fortress of solitude’ for Superman: Legacy with new location

Since the new DCU vision was revealed, the fandom has been the epitome of excitement. So naturally, the new location revelations left fans in a state of wild excitement, and they were anything but calm. From hoping for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes to end soon so that the shoot can start to expressing their excitement for the movie, fans filled up the comments of the Twitter (now x) post.

A user on Twitter tweeted that the blend of the Fortress of Solitude and the northern lights is an ingenious idea that no one could have possibly imagined.

A user humorously nailed down a clever suggestion for the movie. They envisioned a scene where Superman stops by a quaint Norwegian coffee shop to grab his morning coffee as he heads south.

Many of them wholeheartedly concurred with the notion that the chosen location would serve as the pinnacle for the Fortress of Solitude. However, it moves away from the Man of Steel era.
