The fact that there's a movie based on the game!

The movie had been in the works for a long time.

Hawk started production on the movie back in 2016.

Curious about the title?


Well, it obviously comes from the iconic "Superman" tune by Goldfinger - a song any game player will remember.

It's produced by D'Amato Productions.

 The company is run by Neversoft producer Ralph D'Amato.

And he seems to be the perfect choice for the role.
