In April, Vancouverites took to social media this week to share photos and videos from the superhero set

A resident notification letter from 137 Productions Inc states that filming will take place on Tuesday (July 20) from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. and will include "exterior/acrobatic elements, stunt driving and large crowds of background performers (extras) at street level along the1300 [and] 1400 blocks of W.
