About “Superman”

“Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.

DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

The film stars David Corenswet (“Twisters,” “Hollywood”) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the “X-Men” movies, “Juror #2”) as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi (“For All Mankind”), Anthony Carrigan (“Barry,” “Gotham”), Nathan Fillion (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “The Suicide Squad”), Isabela Merced (“Alien Romulus”), Skyler Gisondo (“Licorice Pizza,” “Booksmart”), Sara Sampaio (“At Midnight”), María Gabriela de Faría (“The Moodys”), Wendell Pierce (“Selma,” “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”), Alan Tudyk (“Andor”), Pruitt Taylor Vince (“Bird Box”) and Neva Howell (“Greedy People”).

“Superman” is executive produced by Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars Winther. Behind the camera, Gunn is joined by frequent collaborators, including director of photography Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky and composer John Murphy, along with editors Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “Blue Beetle”), Jason Ballantine (the “IT” films, “The Flash”) and William Hoy (“The Batman”).

“Superman” will be in theaters and IMAX nationwide on July 9, 2025, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

M3GAN 2.0 Review: The A.I. doll is back - better, faster, and stronger !

By: Edgar Allan Yu 

M3GAN 2.0 is here, and it’s clear that the A.I. doll has undergone quite the transformation --- she's done a complete 360! In this sequel, the antagonist we once feared has now stepped into the role of protagonist, shifting the narrative from horror to an exhilarating blend of sci-fi, action, and comedy. This change brings with it a fresh dynamic that keeps viewers on their toes.

The stakes are higher than ever as we’re introduced to Amelia, a new and deadlier robot that poses a significant threat to humanity. Faced with this formidable adversary, Gemma finds herself with no choice but to resurrect M3GAN. But this time around, she’s not just bringing her back; she’s giving her some serious upgrades—making her better, faster, and stronger than before. 

Fans of high-octane action will appreciate the numerous thrilling sequences reminiscent of iconic films like Terminator 2 and 3. However, I must admit that I miss some of the horror elements that defined its predecessor; they added an edge of suspense that is somewhat lacking in this installment. Nevertheless, M3GAN 2.0 delivers plenty of entertainment and fun moments that make it worth watching. If you’re looking for an engaging ride filled with action-packed scenes and clever humor, this sequel is definitely one to check out!

Vibe to Fresh Finds with Belle’s AI-Powered Soundtrack

Ever had a song stuck in your head but did not know the title? With the upgraded Circle to Search with Google, finding it is easy, just like Belle Mariano does. She shares, “As someone always on the go, whether I’m on set or scrolling during a break, it helps me stay curious and productive without losing focus. One time I had LSS from a TikTok, and instead of typing lyrics, I just used the Circle to Search, and boom, I got the song! It’s so quick and seamless, like the phone just gets me.” 

Want to do it like Belle? Simply long press the home button, tap the music note icon, and hum or let it listen. In seconds, you’ve got your answer. But that’s not all—Circle to Search goes beyond music. You can circle anything on your screen to search it instantly, or even use it to translate signs and menus while you are traveling.

Tap through the frames, choose the perfect expressions, and snap that flawless group shot. Ashtine said, “I love using the Best Face feature on my Galaxy A56 5G because it seriously saves my selfies — and my time! It’s super helpful, especially when I’m working on content or capturing memories from our shoots. It lets me focus on the moment, knowing I can fix the shot after.”

Just like Donny Pangilinan, you can instantly remove anything from photobombers to stray wires, leaving behind nothing but clean, scroll-stopping content every time. 

Sharing how he edits on the go, Donny puts it simply, “You know those moments when you take a great photo but there’s a random person or some mess in the background? With just a few taps, I can clean it up and keep the focus on the moment. It makes my adventure photos look way better without needing complicated edits.”

Turn Moments into Loop-Worthy GIFs à la Andres

With AI Select, your phone becomes more than just a phone—it is your creative sidekick. Just ask Andres Muhlach, who uses it to turn fun moments into loop-worthy GIFs straight from the edge panel. Andres shares here, “I’m a big fan of the AI Select feature, it’s perfect for making the most out of your phone, like creating content without needing editing apps–it keeps everything fast, fun, and super smooth.”

Whether you are capturing a reaction, a dance move, or a funny face, AI Select helps you make it GIF gold. But it's not just for fun—AI Select also keeps things efficient.

About Jurassic World Rebirth:

A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. 

Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind. Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

 

Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.
