‘Superman' cast grateful for warmth, support given by Filipino fans
In Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras' Friday, David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan talked about the love they felt from the Filipino fans.
'To show up and have people dressed as Superman and dressed as Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific, and there were definitely some Lois Lanes out there, it's really just we get to come and celebrate this amazing legacy of these characters in this world and get excited for the new chapter that we're bringing,' David said.
'You know, we're the new kids on the block, and to feel that warmth and that kind of support as we're kicking off this tour was really, really special. So we're very grateful to have started here in the Philippines,' Rachel said.
David will star as Superman and Clark Kent in the film, while Rachel will play the role of Lois Lane.
Director James Gunn also explained his motivation for the approach of the movie, particularly in the current global climate.
'I think that we've gotten in the world—the world seems kind of mean lately. I think that I really just want to remind people and myself about the values of basic human kindness,' he said.
On social media Friday, the "Superman" film shared photos of the stars alongside James and co-producer Peter Safran posing with a Superman-themed jeepney.
'Superman' opens in cinemas and IMAX on July 9. It establishes the iconic hero in the new DC Studios cinematic universe headed by Gunn and Peter Safran.
According to Gunn, "Superman" has become more than a movie for him. "It's a story about humanity, about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn't always make it easy to be one.'
The film also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.

Danaya, Terra finally reunite in dream realm
After long years of being separated from each other, Danaya (Sanya Lopez) and her daughter Terra (Bianca Umali) finally met in an emotional reunion filled with tears, warmth, and long-suppressed longing. On Wednesday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre," Danaya found a way to reach her daughter through dreams while still imprisoned by Mitena (Rhian Ramos). The attempt proved successful, transporting Terra into a vision where she was greeted by her mother with a tender smile. The two found themselves in an enchanting realm of vibrant greenery, both clad in ethereal garb. Terra, at first bewildered, was overcome with emotion when she realized it was truly her mother before her. The young Sang'gre rushed into Danaya's arms, and the two held each other in a tearful embrace. In disbelief, Terra gently cupped her mother's face as Danaya assured her that what they were experiencing was real. Danaya revealed that they were in Liraya, a sacred place where their consciousness could connect despite the barriers of reality. She confessed her yearning to finally see her daughter again, while Terra admitted she had waited her whole life for this very moment. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
