Warner Bros. has unveiled the final trailer for Superman, directed by James Gunn , just weeks ahead of its much-anticipated theatrical release on July 11.Starring David Corenswet in the lead role, the trailer offers a deeper glimpse into the Man of Steel's epic journey as he grapples with his powers, identity, and purpose on Earth. Corenswet portrays Clark Kent—a Kryptonian alien trying to live a human life—as he struggles to balance his superhuman responsibilities with the ordinary world of journalism.Joining him is Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane , a fearless reporter and Superman's love interest, and Nicholas Hoult as the cunning Lex Luthor , poised to be the hero's greatest challenge yet. Their complex dynamic sets the tone for what promises to be an emotionally layered and high-stakes story.One standout moment in the trailer features Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern Corps member, who confronts Superman with the sharp warning: 'Make a move, Big Blue.' The scene hints at the friction within a wider DC universe, blending tension with Gunn's signature blend of wit and drama.The ensemble cast also includes Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific. Additional characters such as Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) suggest that Superman may serve as a launching pad for broader story arcs across the DC Universe.One of the most buzzed-about scenes teased earlier features Superman being rescued by his loyal dog, Krypto, followed by a hilarious moment where robotic assistants at the Fortress of Solitude quip, 'No need to thank us, sir, as we will not appreciate it.'The film is the first major release under the new DC Studios leadership of Gunn and Peter Safran, and marks a fresh start for the Superman franchise. Speaking at CinemaCon, Corenswet reflected on the weight of playing such an iconic character: 'It's a great honour to play a role that exists so clearly in the public consciousness,' he said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.Blending action, humour, and heart, Superman hits theatres on, ushering in what could be a bold new chapter for DC on the big screen.

PVR INOX banks on good movie releases, OTT fatigue for profitability: MD Ajay Bijli
Cinema exhibitor PVR INOX is looking to build on the momentum of a strong first quarter, tapping new good movie releases and consumer fatigue with OTT as it seeks to return to profitability , according to its Managing Director Ajay Bijli . Having recorded a 12 per cent year-on-year growth in people visiting the company's cinemas at 3.4 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal, despite a subdued April, the business has bounced back, Bijli told PTI. "We are obviously very happy that business has bounced back. We've always been very confident about the fact that Indian consumers will always consider going out and watching movies on the big screen as the number one form of entertainment," he noted. Watching movies on the big screen will coexist with all the other formats of consuming content, Bijli added. Asked when the company expects to be in the black, Bijli said, "Normally, I don't give any all I can say is that the momentum is there, and all the movies that are coming up are in the public domain". July has started very well with movies, such as Saiyaara, Superman, Jurassic Park: Rebirth, F1 Fantastic Four: First Steps and Mahavtar Narsimha, he said, adding that two big movies -- Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie and War 2 , which is a strong franchise, are already lined up for August 14 release. "People already know that there's a huge August 15 the lineup at least gives us the confidence and people's behaviour to come out, (after) getting a little bit of fatigue factor from OTT -- it is giving us an indication that occupancies will only improve from here on," Bijli said without sharing guidance on the timelines for profitability. In the first quarter of 2025-26, PVR INOX reported a narrowing of consolidated loss after tax to Rs 54.5 crore, mainly due to good content movies driving up footfall and revenue growth. It had posted a consolidated loss after tax of Rs 179 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal. Its consolidated revenue from operations in the first quarter stood at Rs 1,469.1 crore compared to Rs 1,190.7 crore in the year-ago period. "What we need to do is make sure that we are delivering a great offering to the consumer when they come out, and just rely on the content makers to continue to make movies which connect with the audience," Bijli said.

Along with the announcement, lots of guesses and rumours have started about which DC characters might appear in the film.

In the deleted post, they also mentioned the movie will be dark like the first one and the director, along with writer Mattson Tomlin, are working hard to make it exciting and bold. Soon after, Gunn came across the post on Threads and clarified, 'Guys please stop believing this nonsense. I think six of us have read the script. No one knows anything about the Batman 2." Before this, James Gunn had responded to another rumour (Now Deleted). He wrote, 'Anything you've heard about that movie is made up or a guess. No one in the world knows anything about the concept for the story except four people." View on Threads Warner Bros. Discovery Confirms Batman Part II Filming Warner Bros.
