Superman marks the latest superhero blockbuster that Howell has been part of following his role as a stunt double for Chris Hemsworth in Thor: Love and Thunder. He was also part of the stunt team for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, as well as the Arrowverse series Arrow, Supergirl, Batwoman, and Legends of Tomorrow.
