** Creator/ChristopherReeve felt so ashamed about this movie that he swore he'd never play Superman again. It took lots of persuasion to bring him back for ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', which sadly didn't turn out much better.
** Creator/RichardPryor wasn't happy with the film, as he'd been looking for more serious roles and was dismayed to find the film was a comedy.

** Creator/TonyDanza was initially chosen to portray [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] before Creator/ChristopherReeve agreed to reprise the role. Originally, Reeve threatened not to return for the film due to his dislike of the script and the firing of Creator/RichardDonner. However, Reeve accepted the offer to play the titular character again after the producers agreed to let him have input on the movie's script.
*** Creator/JohnTravolta, Creator/JeffBridges and Creator/KurtRussell were approached for the part of Superman as well before the re-casting of Reeve.
** Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh was considered for the role of Lana Lang before the casting of Creator/AnnetteOToole. However, Leigh was turned down due to the fact that she was considered "too young" for the part.
** According to Ilya Salkind, the original script was going to involve Comicbook/{{Brainiac}} and Mister Mxyzptlk, who would've played by Creator/DudleyMoore, teaming up against Superman, who would also meet his cousin, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, who was adopted by Brainiac. The three characters would have been involved in a LoveTriangle, with a jealous Brainiac turning Superman evil and Supergirl agreeing to marry him if he returned Superman to normal. Superman would have made a deal with Mxyzptlk to transport him and Brainiac to another dimension in order to settle the matter without superpowers, which they would have done by jousting in medieval armor.
