The siblings were on the program to talk about the documentary “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” which will be released in honor of their father’s 20th anniversary of death. The movie honors the legendary career of the late actor as well as the struggles he overcame after suffering a life-altering accident.

“What amazing people they seem to be, embodying his spirit and wisdom,” said the follower. Someone else expressed a similar opinion when they said, “They all look great, just like their dad.” Not every fan, though, thought the similarities were there.

The comment made by one of the viewers was, “Daughter’s smile is like his, otherwise little resemblance (all 3).” Someone more said, “Wow, the first son looks nothing like his father, but the other one — wow.” Though opinions varied, one fan said it best when he said, “Will resembles his father exactly.” All three have a fatherly appearance.

Will Reeve outlined the family’s reasoning for believing that now was the ideal time to share their father’s tale with the public once more.

“With 2024 being the 20-year anniversary of our father’s death, that felt like the right time to reintroduce him and his heroic story to the world,” he said.

Additionally, Matthew shared his thoughts on what it means to share their father’s tale with a new generation. He clarified in an interview with People magazine, saying, “It’s a real honor to just be in a position to help tell his story for the best of my own memories.”

He continued by expressing how important it is to him that the documentary be seen by people who might not be old enough to recall their father’s “Superman” movies, so that the legacy of his father will go on and inspire generations to come.

Alexandra mentioned in another interview how much her father valued his work as a director as much as an actor.

According to her, “He was dedicated to his craft, of course, before the accident, but also after — being able to return to acting and directing and showing that a disability wouldn’t hold him back.”

She went on to say that one of the documentary’s main topics is how Christopher overcame tremendous adversity to advance in his career, highlighting his two main legacies—his commitment to acting and his fervent support of medical research and disability rights.
