SUPERMAN Character Posters Feature Superman, Krypto, The Justice Gang, and More — GeekTyrant
DC Studios has released the first wave of Superman character posters, and they spotlight the movie's superhero metahumans. Below, you'll see Superman (David Corenswet), Krypto, Superman Robot #4 (Alan Tudyk), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). I imagine these posters will be followed by more posters that put the focus on the villains of the film. Superman will tell the story of 'Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. 'He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned. 'It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU." The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

Details on the Last-Minute Changes James Gunn Made to SUPERMAN After Mixed Test Screenings — GeekTyrant
It looks like James Gunn's Superman is feeling the pressure as it heads toward its July 11th release. With the film locked in as the official launch of the new DC Universe, expectations are massive, and according to new reports, some early test screenings didn't go quite as planned. That's led to some last-minute changes, including reshoots, scene shuffling, and even a tonal overhaul. A new report from World of Reel, citing 'sources close to the production,' claims that 'tensions are high at Warner Bros.' following a rough early test screening that 'received a mixed reception,' prompting what's being called a 'cascade of changes' behind the scenes. One of the biggest reported changes is the tone. Apparently, Gunn's original cut had a lot more humor in the vein of Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad . That didn't sit well with some Warner Bros. executives, who were 'not entirely sold' on Superman's level of comedy. The result… Gunn was asked to tone things down, which included cutting several comedic beats and scenes. On top of that, the film has allegedly been trimmed down by about 25 minutes overall. Runtime drama has already been a hot topic online, and Gunn even addressed it previously, calling some of the rumors overblown. Still, it seems a shorter, tighter cut is now on the table. Then, according to the report, one of the film's original editors was 'removed mid-process,' and the structure of the movie was reworked, meaning some scenes were relocated, others added, and the story reshaped. So, how's the revised cut going over? Well, Warner Bros. is reportedly planning another big test screening soon, and insiders say execs are 'a tad' more confident this time around. Whether that means the creative pivots have improved the film or just calmed nerves in the boardroom… we'll probably hear about it soon enough. What's clear is that these behind-the-scenes tweaks have sparked all kinds of reactions across the fandom. Snyder fans may be happy to hear Gunn's humor got dialed back. Gunn loyalists might worry the charm they love has been compromised. And everyone else? Probably just tired of watching WB executives step into the editing room every time DC has a big movie on the line. At the end of the day, Superman is supposed to be the first confident step forward into a new DC era. But, with all this noise, it's hard not to feel like old habits are creeping back in. Let's hope that by the time July 11th rolls around, the version that hits theaters is the one that's great and actually feels like a fresh start.

Taylor Swift's Old Album Streams More Than Double on Spotify After Catalog Deal
Taylor Swift finally gained ownership of her first six albums in a momentous deal she announced to the world last Friday, and with the superstar officially reunited with her music, Spotify streams on her Big Machine-era recordings quickly skyrocketed that day. According to figures Spotify shared with The Hollywood Reporter, streams on all of the original versions of her older albums at least doubled on Friday, May 30, compared to the albums' average daily streams from April 1 through May 29. (Spotify didn't disclose specific streaming numbers themselves, only percentage changes.) More from The Hollywood Reporter Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" Passes 1 Billion Spotify Streams Pusha T Says Def Jam Tried to Censor Kendrick Lamar Verse On Upcoming Clipse Album Due To Drake Beef Sean "Diddy" Combs' Ex-Aide Says She Was "Brainwashed" When She Sent Loving Texts Years After Rape Speak Now had the biggest individual spike, with streams rising 430 percent globally. Interestingly, Swift's 2006 eponymous debut and 2017's Reputation — neither of which have a 'Taylor's Version' released yet — came in second and third, as Taylor Swift streams jumped 220 percent, while Reputation streams rose 175 percent. Fearless climbed 160 percent, Red jumped 150 percent and 1989 got a 110 percent boost. Swift is one of the most-listened-to artists on the platform with over 82 million monthly Spotify listeners, and her streams overall jumped 40 percent Friday. Prior to announcing the purchase on Friday, Swift's first six albums had been subject of one of the most significant controversies in recent music industry history after music executive Scooter Braun bought Swift's old record label Big Machine in 2019, gaining ownership of Swift's music in the process. Swift called the deal 'my worst case scenario,' while citing 'incessant, manipulative bullying' from Braun for years. Braun sold Swift's music to private equity firm Shamrock Capital a year later for about as much as he spent on all of Big Machine, before Swift bought the music from Shamrock last week. 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening,' Swift wrote last week of purchasing the catalog. 'I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.'Before the purchase, Swift had of course released the 'Taylor's Versions' on four of her six Big Machine albums as she sought to gain control of her musical legacy. Those versions became hits themselves, selling millions of copies and topping the album charts, while helping Swift further strengthen her own superstardom. While the original albums still garnered sales and streams, it had become a common sentiment among some of Swift's fans not to listen to the older versions as the singer looked to win back her music rights. But now that Swift has her music back, an interesting question becomes which albums Swifties will listen to more in the future. And with two albums left that fans were originally expecting 'Taylor's Versions' for, fans are still asking what's next. In announcing the acquisition last week, Swift had revealed that she'd only re-recorded less than a quarter of Reputation, though she confirmed that she's already completed the re-recording of her debut record. 'Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about,' Swift wrote on Friday. 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.'Best of The Hollywood Reporter Most Anticipated Concert Tours of 2025: Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar & SZA, Sabrina Carpenter and More Hollywood's Most Notable Deaths of 2025 Hollywood's Highest-Profile Harris Endorsements: Taylor Swift, George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen and More
