VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images What To Know On Wednesday, Gunn took to Threads to share an announcement about Superman. "Excited to bring @Superman to audiences in China on July 11," he wrote alongside a poster of the film in Chinese. In the comments of his post, Threads user @dcdomain wrote: "Hey james is the runtime for Superman locked? There's rumors that it's 2h2minutes." In response, Gunn said, "That is not correct. It's almost totally locked - meaning we're just finishing a couple VFX shots over the weekend - but that's not the running time." "Thank you James," @dcdomain wrote back. "Can't wait!" Last month, Gunn hinted at what fans can expect to see in the film. "The central conflict revolves a lot around Lex Luthor's attempts to defeat and destroy Superman," he told Entertainment Weekly in April. "I think Lex Luthor thinks of Superman in the way that an artist thinks of AI. Here's this guy who's this [incredible] genius scientist who's worked his whole life to become one of the richest, most powerful men in the world, and he does it all to be lauded. I mean, he wants to be the greatest, and suddenly this jerk comes in wearing a cape with a lantern jaw and a cocky grin, and he just takes all of the oxygen out of the room, out of the room of Earth, and it creates a burning hatred in the guy." What People Are Saying In the comments under Gunn's Threads response, many fans said they hope for an even longer runtime. @ "Thank Goodness! I really want this movie to be 2:20 or more, coz I want to spend more time in this world of James Gunn's Superman and with several of its characters!" @fahimmia01: "Hope its around 2h 30m long." @rickyjmarc: "Certainly hope it's a little longer than that. I haven't seen Superman on my theater screen in over a decade. Long overdue. Worth the runtime." @batmanvengeance2024: "I hope it's longer than 2 hour 10 minutes..." @malg.1234: "I would watch 5 hrs of this movie ngl even though obviously that's not possible." What Happens Next Superman hits theaters on July 11.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Barry detailed the meeting. He said: 'I met Ringo the other day. I met him at his house and he played the drums for me. He asked me to play them but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo. 'It was one of those moments when you're just in awe and [I] just froze.'

'I was nervous,' Barry told Jimmy, 'He was like, 'You can look at me,' and it was just, again, I'm playing Ringo Starr. My job is to observe and take in all kind of mannerisms and, you know, studying [him].' Barry added that he wanted to 'humanise' the former rock star and 'not just imitate.'

Barry previously showcased the accent in the Emerald Fennell blockbuster Saltburn, but his efforts were deemed unsatisfactory by a number of Liverpool natives. One TikTok user shared a clip of Barry in Saltburn, branding the accent 'terrible', while others took to the comments confused that the accent was even an attempt at Scouse. 'I want to know if any of these 'Accent coaches' have ever been to Liverpool or Merseyside, who signs off on this,' was one of the comments.
