Zurich [Switzerland], August 14 (ANI): The Zurich Film Festival has unveiled the list of movies which will have the global premiere at the event, which runs from September 25 to October 5, reported The Hollywood Reporter. The 21st edition of the festival will open its main gala section to a mix of Hollywood awards contenders and German-language productions with broad audience appeal. Festival director Christian Jungen noted that the section has a track record of screening films that later earn Oscar nominations, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the outlet, the film's synopsis reads: Kerr, an icon of the early UFC era, stands at the peak of his career while teetering on the edge of destruction, a life caught between fame and self-destruction.

Jason Ralph sets off internet drama after liking shady comment on Rachel Brosnahan's chemistry with Superman co-star David Corenswet
Rachel Brosnahan's husband, Jason Ralph, has set social media abuzz with an Instagram activity, which has led to speculations of marriage trouble for the couple. Fans noticed that Ralph liked a particularly shady comment about his wife's chemistry with her Superman co-star David Corenswet—and the internet went wild. The comment suggested Brosnahan's on-screen connection with Corenswet was so strong that it might even eclipse her marriage, and Ralph's interaction immediately fuelled speculation. It all started with a squashed banana The drama traces back to June 2, 2025, when Ralph shared what seemed like a harmless photo of a squashed banana. Comments were enabled, and fans recently spotted a screenshot on Reddit showing that Ralph had liked a comment criticizing Brosnahan's chemistry with Corenswet. The comment read: 'It's genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn't handle herself with her co-actor.' Like, bro… let's have some self-love and stand up for yourself man, leave her to be with him if she wants that much at the end of the day." Reddit weighs in on the controversy Once the screenshot circulated, Reddit erupted with speculations. Some suggested the like might hint at tension in the couple's nearly decade-long marriage, while others laughed at the bizarre situation, reasoning it could very well be a sarcastic jibe. One user said, "I would not put much stock into this, and it could just be sarcasm. Someone also recently wrote a disgusting comment about Rachel's breasts on either Vanity Fair or The Hollywood Reporter IGs, and Jason told the guy to watch himself. Guy responded with typical incel nonsense once he realised Jason is Rachel's husband. People are such children with seeing actors have chemistry and say the dumbest shit. A million gifs of crying Peter Parker for any Challengers clips. People are also saying pretty terrible things on David's wife Julia's IG too." Another user had a different take: "Interesting timing with the recent release of behind-the-scenes footage of David and Rachel being very close. For everyone's sake (including their spouses), I hope it's all just rumours with no standing." One Redditor stated, "That's so obviously a joke or sarcastic?" Her most recent non-PR Instagram post was about their dog passing away, with a photo of him and the dog, all typed in "we". That's much more intimate than whatever she's been doing for press." Meanwhile, a fourth mentioned, "YIKES. Jason was really cute on The Magicians and had a pivotal recurring role with Rachel in the final seasons of The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel. He always looks so lovingly at her on the red carpet, but it's also true she's on a meteoric rise lately, while he hasn't done a whole lot of visible work in the past few years. :/ I am really hoping he liked that comment accidentally." Check out more comments in the Reddit thread below: Rachel Brosnahan's on-screen chemistry with David Corenswet The Superman duo had tongues wagging thanks to their undeniable chemistry during the press tour. While such antics aren't unusual for promoting a movie, their rumoured closeness sparked a social media debate over how far actors—especially married ones—should go to sell a film. Brosnahan is known for her natural chemistry with co-stars—Luke Kirby in The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, Oscar Isaac on Broadway, and now Corenswet in Superman. It could very well be her professional ethics and a hallmark of her talent, not a reflection of her private life; however, when has that stopped the interent from speculating? For the unversed, Ralph and Brosnahan met on the set of I'm Obsessed With You in 2013, started dating in 2015, and secretly married in 2016. Their relationship has largely stayed out of the spotlight, making this Instagram moment all the more sensational. For context, Corenswet has been married to Julia Warner since 2023 and is a father.
