Fans react to Superman trailer The trailer drew mixed reactions. Some were impressed by Corenswet's acting. 'How he changed his voice from Clark Kent to Superman during the interview.... that's awesome…' a comment read.
'The more I see of this movie, the more I get excited for it. I was sad to see Gunn leave Marvel, but I'm happy to see the amazing things he's doing with DC,' another remarked.
''I wasn't representing anyone but Me and doing good' is the most Superman thing to say,' a comment read.
'I love that 90's comic book nostalgic feel of Superman himself laying down in a bed in a room that's like that of a teenage superhero fans room. James Gunn & his team have the entire aesthetics to this movie on point,' a user stated.
Not everyone was wowed by the film. One fan noted, ' 'There's something about this new superman that just doesn't sit right with me. It's way too colorful. It almost looks like a cartoon tbh… There's no seriousness to it. Bring dc's classic darker shade movies.'
'I don't know how they're going to fit this many characters into one movie and I'm a bit worried about it. But the way this Superman is portrayed... his heart is in the right place, and it gives me so much hope,' another claimed.

French wild card Lois Boisson stuns World No. 6 Mirra Andreeva to reach semis at Roland Garros
Lois Boisson (AP Photo) France's 361st-ranked Lois Boisson continued her "incredible" Paris adventure on Wednesday, dispatching world number six Mirra Andreeva in a thrilling two-set battle to reach the French Open semi-finals. Boisson triumphed 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 in just over two hours against Russian teenager Andreeva in front of an ecstatic home crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier, collapsing on the red clay after sealing victory on her first match point. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "It was incredible to play in front of this crowd and to feel support like that. It was amazing, thank you," said Boisson, playing in her first Grand Slam. The 22-year-old wildcard advances to meet US world number two Coco Gauff for a place in the final. She had already eliminated US third seed Jessica Pegula, and extended her run against last year's semi-finalist Andreeva. "My routine won't change, it's been the same since the start of the tournament," she added of her preparation for Thursday's semi-final. Boisson had trailed 3-1 and 5-3 in the first set -- eventually saving two set points -- to edge a tight tiebreak 8-6. She kept her cool as Andreeva unravelled from a 3-0 lead in the second set to win the last six games. Andreeva's frustrations spilled over with the 18-year-old jumping up and down in anger and receiving a warning from the umpire for blasting the ball into the crowd. She was then booed when she argued with the umpire over a line call, and was broken later that game after another double-fault to suddenly trail 4-3. The Russian struggled with her serve, hitting nine double-faults in total, and made 43 unforced errors to Boisson's 27. - 'Toughest moment' - Boisson next meets Gauff, who battled back from a set down to beat Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-7 (6/8), 6-4, 6-1. "Yeah, I think there are two ways I have done it in the past," said 21-year-old Gauff, a former US Open winner, of playing the home favourite. "Either, A: just pretend they're cheering for you, and B: just using it and not letting that get to you. "I have been in crowds where they are 99 percent for me, so I don't have an issue with it. You know, I hope everyone will be respectful and things. If not, it's cool." Boisson becomes the lowest-ranked major semi-finalist in the last 40 years. Winner of the Saint Malo tournament on the secondary circuit in 2024, she seriously injured her left knee just before Roland Garros 12 months ago. "What happened last year was the toughest moment of my life," said the player from Dijon, who had only won one match on the main circuit before Roland Garros -- at the modest WTA 250 in Rouen on clay in April. She is the third player to reach the semi-finals in her Grand Slam main-draw debut since 1980, following Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati who also did it at Roland Garros in 1989 and 1990. She becomes the first French semi-finalist at her home Grand Slam event since Marion Bartoli in 2011 -- and the first in the Open Era to do it as a wild card.

Inside Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish wedding plans in Venice
AP Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, media personality Lauren Sánchez, are set to tie the knot in one of the most opulent weddings of the year. The couple has chosen the romantic city of Venice, Italy, for their three-day celebration, scheduled from June 24 to 26, 2025. According to the Daily Mail , the venue for the festivities is the historic Scuola Grande della Misericordia—a grand Renaissance building dating back to 1310. Once one of Venice's exclusive Seven Scuole Grandi, reserved for the city's elite, the venue now hosts high-profile events and exhibitions. It boasts magnificent frescoes by legendary artists such as Tintoretto, Veronese, and Pellegrini, and can accommodate up to 1,000 guests. The guest list is expected to feature a who's who of celebrities and power players, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and Eva Longoria. Despite the scale of the event, Venetian authorities have downplayed concerns, stating that regular city functions will not be significantly disrupted—refuting claims that all water taxis had been booked for the occasion. Still, the wedding has sparked controversy among some locals. Reports suggest Bezos has reserved five luxury hotels and implemented extensive security measures, including road closures, police patrols, and airspace restrictions—stirring frustration during Venice's busy tourist season. One vocal critic is Laboratorio Occupato Morion, a local activist group that identifies as 'anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and trans-feminist.' The group has planned demonstrations near St. Mark's Square and on the wedding day itself. Protest flyers feature a cartoon of Bezos' head on a rocket, with slogans like 'No space for Bezos, no space for oligarchs!' 'Jeff Bezos believes he can purchase the entire city,' the group stated. 'Meanwhile, those who actually live in Venice are left to deal with discomfort, exclusion, and instability.' As preparations unfold, Bezos and Sánchez's wedding continues to draw global attention—for both its grandeur and its backlash.

Fortnite leak suggests a new map and superhero-themed game mode in Chapter 6 Season 3
Fortnite might be gearing up for one of its most dramatic seasons yet. With Chapter 6 Season 3 on the horizon, a major leak has surfaced, and it's buzzing with excitement. A trusted leaker has hinted at a bold new location, Utopia City, along with a limited-time game mode that trades your usual loot and builds for superpowers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here's everything you need to know! A Massive Shift Is Coming to Fortnite (Screenshot via X/@blortzen) According to the leak, the new map addition 'Utopia City' will feature a sleek, futuristic design. Tall neon towers, high-tech streets, and possibly even a Hero Academy sitting at its core. This isn't just a cosmetic overhaul. If true, this location could bring an entirely different vibe to the current island — more sci-fi epic than survival shooter. Early speculation suggests Utopia City won't just be eye candy. It might serve as a central hub for a new storyline arc involving emerging heroes, secret factions, and evolving missions. Leaks Suggest a New Superhero LTM (Screenshot via X/@blortzen) The biggest twist, though? A new game mode centered entirely around superpowers. Instead of guns, players might harness unique powers — flight, energy blasts, teleportation, or even elemental control. While this isn't confirmed by Epic, the leaker hints that it'll be available as a limited-time mode , likely tied to the core Utopia City experience. It's a bold shift — one that could pull Fortnite out of its recent slump. Why This Leak Matters Now Fortnite has been dealing with a bit of turbulence. Despite high-profile collabs like the recent Star Wars mini-season, the player count dipped to its lowest in two years this May. Fans were starting to wonder: Is Fortnite losing its magic? This leak suggests the opposite. If Epic Games really is planning a superhero-style season, it could bring back the thrill, chaos, and innovation Fortnite is known for. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Add the possibility of a Superman crossover (timed with the upcoming movie), and you've got a recipe for hype and headlines. A Comeback Season? Nothing's officially confirmed. But if these leaks turn out to be true, Chapter 6 Season 3 might be Fortnite's big comeback moment. A futuristic city, powers instead of pistols, and maybe even flying around as Superman? That's the kind of twist the game needs. Until Epic drops a trailer or an official blog post, take all of this with a grain of salt. Still, one thing's clear: something huge is on the horizon.
