Chicago has landed a starring role in the upcoming movie, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice."
The city's film office confirmed crews are scheduled to shoot scenes in Chicago and the suburbs beginning Monday.
There are no details yet on exactly where Director Zack Snyder will point the camera.
Chicago is no stranger to big-screen comic book franchises. Snyder chose suburban Plano to serve as Superman's hometown and the Willis Tower as "The Daily Planet" in the 2013 movie, "Man of Steel."
"Transformers: Age of Extinction," the fourth installment of the film series, also was the second to shoot in Chicago.
Henry Cavill returns as Superman in the upcoming movie, and Ben Affleck will star as Batman.
