Christopher Reeve<\/a><\/strong>‘s children \u2014 Will, Matthew, and Alexandra \u2014 have revealed that they have never watched The Flash<\/em>, nor were they consulted about the controversial Superman CGI cameo that brought their dad back to life on screen.<\/p>\n

The three Reeve offspring spoke to Variety<\/a><\/em>, while promoting the Sundance documentary, Super\/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story<\/em>, about their dad’s ascent to fame and grave paralyzing accident. Beyond the siblings’ disinterest in the headline-fueling DC vehicle, Will also championed another one of Reeve’s movies<\/a> as his most prideful project. <\/p>\n

“Not that he wasn\u2019t proud of Superman\u2026 but if he were here he wouldn\u2019t choose Superman, he\u2019d choose The Remains of the Day<\/em> [the 1993 drama film where Reeve played an American congressman in postwar Britain]. I don\u2019t think about the Superman films as much as I do about the swings he took beyond this larger-than-life role.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What had Christopher Reeve said about playing Superman again?<\/h2>\n

Will’s words reflect previous statements made by his father when discussing a possible return to the iconic caped superhero. In 2023’s The Flash<\/em>, Reeve’s strange computer-engineered likeness appears ominously looking down on Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen during a time-traveling, multiverse-hopping sequence crammed with other similarly bizarre fan-baiting appearances. However, back in 1982, the man behind what is arguably the most famous iteration of Superman<\/a>, made his feelings clear on what it would take for him to return to the role.<\/p>\n

“If someone said, “For 10 million dollars, you’ll love it,” I’d say no. I’ve never done a project for money; that is for money alone,” he told Playgirl<\/a><\/em>. Reeve said the only way he’d put on the cape and spandex again would be if the studios came up “with a really great idea.” <\/p>\n

He continued by stating the dangers of picking roles for monetary reasons<\/a>, without any meaning to back them up. “I think when you start working for money you turn a corner. It’s a violation, really, of your integrity,” Reeve addressed, adding “One of the few things you have to hang onto is your integrity about your work, and I think work defines a great deal of who you are.” <\/p>\n

Doesn’t sound to us like he’d appreciate his non-speaking, throwaway, digitally produced last outing as the character<\/a> that defined his life for better and for worse. However, he did find reasons to come back to Superman and adjacent productions years after this interview.<\/p>\n

Just know that Smallville managed to give more respect to the late Christopher Reeve than the Flash did.<\/a>
