Gunn disclosed that Superman's father, Jor-El, will be played by none other than Bradley Cooper, who starred as Rocket Raccoon in Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the conversation, Gunn shared that he called upon Cooper, who he deemed a "close friend", to do him a solid to which the actor agreed to a small voice part in the upcoming superhero film.
"I just said, 'Hey, will you do me a favour? Come down, go to England, we're going to shoot you in a 3D environment, make a hologram of you, and you can play Jor-El.'" recalled the director. "He was like, 'Okay.'"
At the moment, Cooper is just making a little cameo appearance, but Jor-El could potentially turn up in future films with a meatier role as Gunn teased: "You never know. It's possible."

While Cooper will have a small role, Nicholas Hoult will have a chunkier part as he portrays Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, with the actor recently teasing that fans may even find themselves agreeing with the supervillain.
"Even though you perhaps don't agree with his process, there's an element where you can understand on some levels where he's coming from and why what he's pushing as his ideology is perhaps better for humanity," said the actor.
"Superman" is premieres in cinemas on July 11.

Joanna Calo Exits "The Perfect Couple" Season 2 As Writer
Yara Sameh Netflix is going back to the drawing board on a potential second season of hit limited series "The Perfect Couple". The giant streamer has been developing a followup installment based on another Nantucket-set book by best-selling "The Perfect Couple" author Elin Hilderbrand, the 2024 novel "Swan Song", with The Bear executive producer/co-showrunner Joanna Calo as writer/showrunner. Calo has now exited the project. There is no new writer attached yet to Swan Song, which remains in early development. In :Swan Song," a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons who throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms. Jenna Lamia was writer, executive producer and showrunner on The Perfect Couple, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and directed and executive produced by Susanne Bier. Kidman and Bier are back as executive producers on the prospective Season 2 alongside fellow The Perfect Couple EPs Gail Berman, Shawn Levy, Per Saari and Hend Baghdady. The limited series, which also starred Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jack Reynor, Michael Beach, Ishaan Khatter, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac, and Dakota Fanning, debuted September 5, 2024 and spent six weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 for English-language series, the first two at #1 with more than 20M views each. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Thailand Selects Cannes Prize Winner "A Useful Ghost" for Oscar Race
Yara Sameh Thailand has selected 'A Useful Ghost' (Pee Chai Dai Ka) as its submission for the international feature film category at the 98th Academy Awards. Directed by debutant Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, 'A Useful Ghost' follows March, who is mourning his wife Nat after she dies from dust pollution. When her spirit returns by possessing a vacuum cleaner, their unconventional human-ghost relationship faces resistance from his family. To prove her worth and their love, Nat offers to cleanse a factory haunted by the ghost of a worker whose death shut down operations. The film ingeniously reimagines the ghost story as a satirical romantic comedy, a deliberate departure from Thailand's renowned horror cinema traditions. It debuted at the Cannes Critics' Week earlier this year, where it won the grand prize. The film addresses pressing environmental concerns in Thailand, particularly dust pollution, which has become a severe issue over the past decade. 'We have dust pollution every winter. People will start complaining about the dust quality in the neighborhood, especially in Bangkok and in the north,' Boonbunchachoke said in an interview with Variety . The film's Thai title carries a dual meaning in local slang, where 'dust' also refers to 'people with no power.' The selection committee, composed of industry professionals including producers, directors, cinema operators, film distributors and media representatives, chose the title from a field of 57 eligible Thai films released between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. Thailand has been submitting to the category since 1984 but has yet to secure a nomination. Last year's entry, Pat Boonnitipat's hit film 'How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies,' was shortlisted. The Oscar international feature shortlist will be announced on December 16 and the final five nominees will be announced on January 22. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
