Christopher Reeve's son Will Reeve, 32, reveals if he plans to follow in his late dad's acting footsteps

While Will Reeve is the spitting image of his late actor father Christopher Reeve, he isn't interested in becoming a Hollywood leading man.

Speaking to PEOPLE this week, Will said that he 'likes' working as a correspondent at ABC News and Good Morning America and that he just isn't 'any good' at acting.

'I like my job as correspondent at ABC News,' Reeve, 32, revealed while on the red carpet at the New York premiere of the new documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.

'I think I like, maybe, performing,' the North Adams, Massachusetts native confessed.

'But I don't know if I'm any good at acting.'

Of course, the subject of Superman made its way into the conversation, and the new actor, David Corenswet, set to don the red cape for the upcoming Superman film set for a 2025 release.

'I think they got a good one in David,' Will shared of the studios' decision to hire the Philadelphia native, whose resume includes The Politician (2019-2020) and Twisters (2024), for the iconic role.

Corenswet, 31, is now the third actor after Christopher Reeve to play the Man Of Steel on the big screen, following Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill.

Will makes a brief cameo appearance in the upcoming superhero flick but he and his siblings are heavily featured in the new Super/Man documentary. 

The doc covers Christopher's early days in New York City as an up-and-coming actor, with his best friend Robin Williams all the way through to his tragic accident while taking part in an equestrian competition in Culpepper, Virginia in 1995 and the aftermath. 

The story then focuses on his paralysis due to the fall off his horse, the impact it had on his life with wife Dana Reeve, who he married three years before the accident.

Will's mother then became his father's primary caregiver in 1995, all the way through until his death in October 2004, all the while still serving as mom to their three children. 

After his accident, he lobbied for spinal injury research, including human embryonic stem cell research, and for better insurance coverage for people with disabilities.

His advocacy work included leading the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and co-founding the Reeve-Irvine Research Center.

All of Reeve's children serve on the board of directors of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

'My mom was maybe the most special person ever to grace this earth,' Will told PEOPLE, before adding, 'She didn't have to wake up every day and decide to take care of our family. It's who she was.' 

Tragically, his mother got diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2005, despite never smoking, 10 months after her husband passed away.

Ultimately, Dana died in March 2006 at the age of 44, which left Will and his siblings parentless within a 17 month period.

'That's when I realized I was completely alone,' Will said while recalling his thoughts and emotions during such a dark time period.   

Super Man: The Christopher Reeve Story played in select theaters on September. 21, with special encore showings on September 25, in tribute to what would have been Christopher's 72nd birthday.
