Will Reeve has a cameo in the new James Gunn \"Superman,\" which he said \"is very close to home\" to his job as a journalist and made the situation \"much more comfortable.\"

\"I am no actor. I have immense respect for those who do that professionally, because it is difficult and challenging,\" he said. \"They get takes though, which we don't get in what we do [as journalists].\"

He continued, \"I was honored to get to play, truly, a small part. It was a really nice homage to my family's connection to this franchise ... It was nice.\"

According to Will Reeve, Gunn thanked the cast and crew before the screening began, \"and he shouted me out, and I wanted to sort of shrink away and go, 'No, no, this is about you guys. I just had a little cameo.' But it was nice.\"

The new \"Superman\" film stars David Corenswet in the title role, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

The film hits theaters Friday.
