(Video) Local VFX Artist Sofian Teases 'Superman' Promo Collab With Actor David Corenswet
Whether you know him as Sofyank96 or by his real name, Sofian, the local visual effects (VFX) artist has certainly come a long way since his early days of content creation. With an impressive résumé that includes producing spectacular promotional videos for films and collaborations with Hollywood stars such as Paul Rudd and Tom Cruise, there's little doubt that the 28-year-old is well on his way to achieving his dream of making it big.
It looks like he'll be adding another Hollywood collaboration to his portfolio. Earlier this week, the local content creator teased his followers that he was heading to the Philippines to work on a promotional video with a very 'super' actor, who is set to release his upcoming film later this year.
'I'll be flying to the Philippines to film a new collaboration with an actor from an upcoming superhero film! Any guesses who it is?' Sofian captioned a photo of himself at the airport on Instagram. With several titles announced this year, many speculated it could be either Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' or DC's 'Superman'. However, the answer was officially revealed yesterday (Thursday, 19th June).
The Malaysian VFX artist posted a Reel on his Instagram, showing him walking down a street in formal attire while reading a newspaper. Suddenly, beams of light, possibly missiles, appeared in the sky, with one striking a section of the building directly above him and several civilians. Sofian sprang into action, shielding the bystanders from the falling debris with his body before flying off, as the camera panned to reveal the iconic 'S' symbol in the sky.
If that wasn't obvious enough, the influencer confirmed the exciting news in his caption, writing: 'I had the opportunity to join the 'Superman' movie junket in the Philippines. Soon, I'll be filming content with Superman himself, David Corenswet. Pray that everything goes smoothly.' As expected, Malaysians expressed their excitement over Sofian's achievement, praising him for representing the country on an international stage.
Some even joked that the content creator collaborating with Hollywood stars is akin to Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' Others quipped that it was Superman who was lucky to be meeting Sofian, joking that the iconic 'S' symbol actually stands for the first letter of the Malaysian star's name. We look forward to seeing Sofian's upcoming collab with the American actor!

It's well known among Malaysian K-pop fans that Super Ring is a popular snack among idols. Members of BLACKPINK, STAYC, and have all been unable to resist the cheesy goodness of the local treat. GOT7's Mark Tuan even claimed they're better than the cheese ball snacks found in the US. It seems that two more idols have joined the list, after one introduced the snack to the other on camera. BTS member J-Hope (제이홉) recently appeared on TWICE's Sana (사나/サナ)'s show 'Fridge Interview', where he brought along some snacks he picked up while on tour. Watch: In the latest episode of Sana's 'Fridge Interview', BTS's J-Hope discussed his latest solo project and preparations for his 'HOPE ON THE STREET' world tour, which recently concluded. At one point during the interview, the two idols opened the fridge, which was filled with various foods and drinks that the rapper is particularly fond of, one of which happened to be a packet of Super Ring snacks. The 31-year-old explained the reason he liked each item in the fridge, one by one. When it came to the Malaysian snack, he revealed that he had picked it up during his trip to Singapore, where he performed at the country's National Indoor Stadium. He described it as savoury and tasty before opening the bag to share it with Sana, who commented that it had a hint of sweetness. The moment quickly went viral, with Malaysian fans expressing their excitement over the Super Ring mention. Many commented that if J-Hope were to perform in Malaysia, he could have all the Super Ring snacks he wanted, as they're available in almost every convenience store across the country. Others, however, expressed disappointment that the idol didn't specify the snack's Malaysian origin, noting that he only mentioned picking it up in Singapore. TWICE fans also chimed in, hoping that Sana would share the snack with her fellow members, sparking hopes that it might lead to a potential concert in Malaysia. Even though J-Hope didn't get the snack from Malaysia, there's no denying that Super Ring remains a superior snack among K-pop idols.

'We also often buy bread that's on sale, and you really have to check carefully before buying. One time, I bought it and when I opened it, there were eggs inside.

It's usually okay, but after this, I'm definitely not buying it anymore,' said another user.
