During an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Brosnahan made it known that she felt comfortable speaking about spoilers because of Gunn, although she still didn't want anyone to "Tom Holland" her.
Still, Brosnahan used this as an opportunity to speak more about Lois Lane and Clark Kent's relationship and how it has already been established.

"So James didn't want to do the same origin story that we're so familiar with," Brosnahan said. "Where Superman and Lois don't know each other. Where she's kind of investigating him.
"So we start with them already established in the world. Clark is a journalist at The Daily Planet. And, you know, there's some love in the air. They're at the point in their relationship where they're trying to figure out if this was just a fling or if this is a forever thing."
"And they're really really different," Brosnahan continued. "They have totally opposite worldviews. She's somebody who prides herself on being ten steps ahead of everyone at any given moment. And he's somebody who's radically present and in the moment.
"And that can be, you know, they butt up against each other sometimes. They have really different views of how to solve problems. And so they're working it out in real time when we meet them in this movie."

This echoed what Brosnahan told Nick Romano of EW on June 10, noting that despite their differences, Superman and Lois Lane are perfect partners, besides being at odds with each other, especially in the interview scene that can be seen in the trailer.
"It's a combination of them both clicking into, in some ways, their super alter egos, "but that's also juxtaposed with their great love for each other," Brosnahan said. "I don't know if she would call it that quite yet, but they care about each other.

"When you start doing an interview, this is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lois Lane, and he's Superman, who's also the subject of this interview. They both feel very strongly about the stance that they're taking in that scene.
"It's one of the things that I love about their love story. While they have totally opposite worldviews, they complete each other, and they kind of need each other."
"Superman" will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Barack Obama's Tradition From First Campaign He Still Maintains Today
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former President Barack Obama still maintains a tradition from his first presidential campaign, according to his wife, Michelle Obama. During Wednesday's new episode of her podcast, IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson—which she co-hosts with her older brother, Craig Robinson—the former first lady shared details about her husband's "lucky charms." Newsweek reached out to Barack Obama's representative for comment on Friday via email outside regular working hours. Barack Obama addresses a press conference after a rally at Kingstree Senior High in Kingstree, South Carolina, on January 24, 2008.

EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP via Getty Images Why It Matters Barack Obama served as the 44th president of the United States for two terms from 2009 until 2017. He and Michelle Obama got married in 1992, and they share two daughters: 27-year-old Malia Obama and 24-year-old Sasha Obama. Earlier this year, the couple endured divorce rumors after Michelle Obama chose to not attend former President Jimmy Carter's state funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration. Meghan McCain also said on her Citizen McCain podcast that she heard the pair were splitting up "by reputable people." Both Barack and Michelle Obama have dismissed the speculation. What To Know On the most recent episode of IMO, Michelle Obama and Robinson spoke with South Carolina Gamecocks head coach and former player Dawn Staley. At one point during the discussion, the conversation turned to the meaning behind Staley's signature necklaces and bracelets. The Gamecocks won the national championship in 2022 and shortly afterward, she met a young girl with pediatric cancer who made the two necklaces for her. "I wore it ever since. Because of strength," Staley explained. "We were sitting together, and she has cancer—you would never know, like you would never know the strength that she set with that cancer." South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley wears her signature necklaces while looking on during an open practice ahead of the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Final Four at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on... South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley wears her signature necklaces while looking on during an open practice ahead of the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Final Four at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on April 3, 2025. MoreAs for her bracelets, she said they're often gifted to her with words like "grit" and "uncommon favor," seemingly referring to her new book Uncommon Favor: Basketball, North Philly, My Mother and the Life Lessons I Learned from All Three. "I wear it until it pops," Staley said. Michelle Obama shared that Barack Obama was often gifted things, too. "Over the course of his first campaign, people would come and give him their lucky charms—it could be a rabbit's foot, a little Buddha, whatever it was—but so many people were praying for him and would give something precious to him, and he kept all those things." "He has a drawer full of them," the Becoming author added, noting: "And even to this day now, he takes a few of them every day and puts them in his pocket, just in the same way. It's perspective and it's a blessing." What People Are Saying In the comments underneath the podcast on YouTube, fans praised Staley's interview. @epochchange6803 wrote: "Thank you Dawn Staley for doing this interview. You are a bright light for SC [South Carolina] and the Nation! Thank you Michelle and Craig for a great podcast!" @loxsochic said: "Dawn Staley = G.O.A.T. status. She's been one of my faves since her days on the court. Love you, Dawn!!!!" @travelone753 shared: "Hi Michelle and Craig!!! Your guest Dawn Staley was so women have, can, will, and do great things!!!" @blkyogi999 added: "We love you here in SC and all your sacrifices... love seeing you Coach." @tanyafulcher2968 chimed in: "Great advice from great leaders helps me to fine tune my own leadership skills. Great guest!!!! I've always been inspired by Dawn Staley. IMO is the best podcast for people wanting to level up in various areas of life." What Happens Next IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson airs new episodes on Wednesdays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

James Gunn says he's keeping the last three Peacemaker season 2 episodes "close to the chest" so they don't get spoiled early: "I won't even let my publicist see them"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Peacemaker season 2 reviews have begun to surface, but there are still three episodes that critics haven't seen, and the show's creator James Gunn says that's very much on purpose. Only Peacemaker episodes 1-5 have been screened for critics - a "select few," as Gunn tells entertainment journalist Brandon Davis - and he's keeping the last three hidden from prying eyes that might leak spoilers for the final three episodes of Peacemaker season 2. "It could mean they're terrible," Gunn laughs in the video below. "That is one option. Or it could mean that there's a lot of major twists and turns in the last three episodes. And even though I'm sending the first five to a select few, things still get out as you know. Things got out already. You know, people who want to search can be spoiled on purpose, but I really don't want what's in those last three episodes to be spoiled. And so I'm keeping them close to the chest. I won't even let my publicist see them. That's the god's honest truth" "I will also say, six and eight may be my favorite things I've done, like, of all time. It's like some of my favorite stuff ever," Gunn adds. I'm one of those "select few" who has seen those first five Peacemaker season 2 episodes, and while I can't (and won't) reveal a single word of spoilers, the trailers have only scratched the surface of Gunn's latest entry in the DC Universe. I definitely recommend going in as un-spoiled as possible, and frankly, I'm excited that there are still three episodes I can anticipate - especially since Gunn holds them in such high regard in his own catalogue of great superhero movies and shows. Peacemaker season 2 premiers on HBO Max on August 21, 2025 as the next chapter in the DC Universe following Gunn's Superman. In the meantime, stay up to date on all the upcoming DC movies and shows that are in the works. Solve the daily Crossword

On the August 15th episode of Friday Night SmackDown, the "Underdog from the Underground" made a surprise appearance to announce that he has officially moved from Raw to the blue brand. The show, which took place at the TD Garden in Boston, opened with Zayn confronting the new leader of The Bloodline, United States Champion Solo Sikoa. Zayn's arrival has completely shaken up the landscape of SmackDown. A New WWE Challenger for The Bloodline The show opened with Solo Sikoa and his faction in the ring. After Sikoa ran down a list of his recent victims, he was interrupted by the surprise appearance of Sami Zayn. Zayn made his intentions clear, stating that he has never been the United States Champion and that he wants to change that. After Sikoa mocked him for being on the wrong brand, Zayn made his shocking announcement. He revealed that he is now the newest member of the SmackDown roster. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis then appeared to confirm the move and booked a massive six-man tag team match for the main event. From One War to Another Sami Zayn's move to SmackDown is a much-needed "fresh start" for the superstar. He has spent the last several months embroiled in a brutal and personal war on Monday Night Raw. He was recently written off of television with a storyline injury at the hands of Karrion Kross and the dominant faction led by Seth Rollins.

Alex BierensHis return to action on a new brand allows him to leave that war behind him. However, he has walked directly into another one. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The WWE Grand Slam Pursuit Zayn's challenge for the United States Championship is also highly significant for his career. Throughout his decorated tenure in WWE, he has won the NXT Championship, the Intercontinental Championship (multiple times), and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. The United States title is the one major championship that has eluded him. A victory over Solo Sikoa would make Sami Zayn a Grand Slam Champion, one of the highest honors a superstar can achieve in WWE. His quest for that final, elusive title is now the central motivation of his new journey on SmackDown. By confronting Sikoa, he is also reigniting one of the most celebrated rivalries in modern WWE history. Zayn, as the former "Honorary Uce," was the man who first exposed the cracks in the original Bloodline, leading to its eventual downfall. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
