Marvel Hero Spotted Supporting Superman at World Premiere
Superman recently held its world premiere at Los Angeles' TCL Chinese Theater. The high-profile event featured appearances from not just the movie's cast and crew but also other actors and personalities within the entertainment industry. Notably, a Marvel star showed up at the premiere to show support for the film as well. Kumail Nanjiani, who starred in Marvel's Eternals as Kingo, showed up to the Superman world premiere along with his wife Emily V. Gordon. At the event, the actor wore a gray suit, crisp white shirt, and brown boots. Meanwhile, his partner wore a red, blue, and yellow floral-patterned dress to the movie premiere. Interestingly, Nanjiani was once rumored to be portraying Booster Gold in James Gunn's DC Universe. These rumors began when Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña — who will reprise his role as Blue Beetle from the DCEU in the DCU — claimed that The Big Sick star had been cast in the role (via The Cosmic Circus). However, Gunn eventually debunked the rumor on Threads after a fan asked him to confirm the same. Notably, multiple actors who have previously appeared in Marvel productions are part of Superman's cast. These include: Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) – He previously played Hank McCoy/Beast in 20th Century Fox's X-Men films between 2011 and 2019. Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific) – He portrayed Darwin in X-Men: First Class, released in 2011. Michael Rooker (Superman Robot Five) – He essayed Yondu Udonta in Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy films, helmed by Gunn. Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner/Green Lantern) – He voiced Blue Alien Prisoner in Guardians of the Galaxy and played Master Karja in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) – She played Anya Corazon in the critically panned Sony Pictures film Madame Web, based on the eponymous Spider-Man supporting character. Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen) – He played Gwen Stacy's brother, Howard, in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films. Sean Gunn (Maxwell Lord) – James Gunn's brother played Kraglin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mikaela Hoover (Cat Grant) – She played Nova Prime's assistant in Guardians of the Galaxy. Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr.) – He played Brock Rumlow/Crossbones in Marvel Studios' Captain America films. Superman premieres in theaters across the United States on July 11, 2025.

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus and more (July 8-14)
It's another week of new movies across the best streaming services with the likes of Netflix, HBO Max and Disney Plus adding new flicks that will surely delight subscribers. I've personally got my eye on 'Karate Kid: Legends' making its premium video-on-demand debut. I found this charming action-sports movie to be an easy-to-watch joy in theatres, and I'm hoping it finds plenty of new viewers on PVOD. Meanwhile, I suspect that 'Madea's Destination Wedding' on Netflix will be the most-watched new movie of the week. Below, I'm rounding up all the top new movies arriving on streaming platforms over the next seven days. And be sure to check out our companion guide to the best TV shows this week. After the conclusion of the acclaimed 'Cobra Kai' series on Netflix back in the spring, 'The Karate Kid' franchise returned to the big screen this summer in 'Karate Kid: Legends,' a supremely entertaining flick that mixes both the original timeline and the 2010 reboot. 'Karate Kid: Legends' stars Jackie Chan (from the remake) and Ralph Macchio (the original Karate Kid), alongside new protagaonsit Ben Wang. Li Fong (Wang) has just moved to New York City with his mother. Initially homesick, missing his life, friends and uncle back in China, Li Fong eventually makes new friends in the form of a pizza shop owner (Joshua Jackson) and his daughter (Sadie Stanley). When their pizza parlour is threatened due to a mountain of debts, Li Fong decides to enter the local karate competition and score the cash prize. But to win this citywide showdown against the fierce reigning champion, he'll need some guidance from Mr. Han (Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Macchio). Buy or rent on Amazon from July 8 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Violet Gates (Meghann Fahy) is a widowed mother who reluctantly leaves her young son at home to meet a singleton at a swanky restaurant at the insistence of her sister (Violett Beane). Her date is the handsome and extremely charming Henry (Brandon Sklenar), and just when Violet is about to let her defenses down, she receives a mysterious text message. The unidentified messenger informs her that sinister figures have taken her son and sister hostage, and will murder them unless Violet does exactly what they instruct and kills Henry. Thrust into a nightmare date, Violet attempts to protect her family while unmasking those behind the murderous plot. Director Christopher Landon expertly builds tension, and each new plot wrinkle is dished out at just the right pace. You might be able to guess the big reveal (the killer's identity is a little obvious), but even if you figure out the destination, the road to get there is a complete blast. Watch on Peacock from July 11 'Jaws' celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, so there's no better time to enjoy one of the most acclaimed and influential movies of all time. Known for coining the term 'blockbuster' due to the intense fervour surrounding Steven Spielberg's mastercrafted shark movie, 'Jaws' is a cinematic titan. This new documentary explores its creation and its lasting legacy, with insight from the creatives involved in bringing it to life. Packing interviews, outtakes and never-before-seen footage, this feature aims to be the ultimate companion piece and will be a must-watch for anybody with a love for cinema. Created with input from Spielberg himself, 'Jaws @ 50 The Definitive Inside Story' looks like it'll deliver exactly what it promises: a deeper exploration of how the movie took shape, and how it continues to thrill viewers even five decades later. Of course, after watching this documentary, you're probably going to want to stream 'Jaws,' which is currently on Peacock, but is set to leave in under a week, so you'll only have a limited time for a double feature. Watch on Disney Plus or Hulu from July 11 Thriller fans will likely have an eye on 'Opus' this week. The feature debut of director Mark Anthony Green, it stars 'The Bear's' Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich. While its hooky premise will likely grab your attention, and the initial act promises a twisted web of secrets, unfortunately, as the ending approaches, things get increasingly muddled, and the finale is less than satisfying. Still, genre fans might find enough intrigue to stick with it till the end. Edebiri plays a young writer who is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who disappeared without a trace some 30 years ago. Announcing his new album, the singer, Alfred Moretti (Malkovich), has seemingly surrounded himself with sycophants who appear to all belong to a strange cult. As the writer investigates further, she discovers that the group has twisted plans for her and her fellow journalists in attendance. Watch on HBO Max from July 11 Tyler Perry is a Netflix stalwart, and his popular Madea character has made the streaming service home. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see another Madea movie landing on Netflix, and this one seems very appropriate for the summer season. As the name suggests, 'Madea's Destination Wedding' sees the loudmouthed character jet off to the sunny Bahamas for her grandniece's whirlwind wedding, and of course, sheer chaos ensues. When Madea's great-grandniece Tiffany (Diamond White) announces she's set to marry her new boyfriend Zavier (Xavier Smalls), the whole family heads over to the Bahamas, even though there are several questions asked about the speed of these nuptials. Once in the tropical location, the celebrations become increasingly turbulent as one disaster after another unfolds. Plus, Tiffany starts to have some doubts about Zaiver's intentions. 'Madea's Destination Wedding' doesn't appear interested in breaking free from the franchise's formula, but considering these movies have been constantly popular on Netflix, I suspect that won't be a problem for most subscribers. It's very likely to score the No. 1 spot just days after its debut. Watch on Netflix from July 11

When does Karate Kid: Legends release on OTT? Date, time, and where to watch
Karate Kid: Legends is officially dropping on digital platforms Tuesday, July 8, confirms Decider. The film reunites Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio as Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, and introduces a new protagonist, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, the movie builds directly on the Cobra Kai universe - but with fresh twists. Though early reviews have been mixed, the film's arrival is still a major moment for fans who have followed the story since the original Karate Kid days. Jackie Chan and Ben Wang in a still from Karate Kid: Legends(X) But while it is available to buy or rent, many are already asking when it will show up on Netflix for free streaming. Where and when to watch Karate Kid: Legends online According to Decider, starting at midnight ET on July 8 (that's 9 p.m. PT on July 7), Karate Kid: Legends becomes available to rent or buy across digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango At Home. Prices may vary, but on Amazon, expect to pay $19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy. If you rent it, you will have 30 days to start the film, and once you hit play, 48 hours to finish it. When will it stream on Netflix? Right now, the movie isn't available on any major subscription-based service. But because of the ongoing Netflix-Sony deal, Karate Kid: Legends is expected to land on Netflix in the coming months. This deal gives Netflix first streaming rights to Sony movies shortly after their digital/home media release, known as the "Pay 1 window." Past Sony films like Kraven the Hunter took about three months to land on Netflix. Others arrived sooner - some in just over two months, a few after nearly four. It's been inconsistent. Since Karate Kid: Legends opened in theaters in May 2025, it's possible we'll see it on Netflix by late August or early September. That's just an estimate, though. If you're waiting for the Netflix release, your only option for now is renting or buying. Meanwhile, Cobra Kai is still streaming on Netflix. If you haven't watched it, or just want to catch up, it's a good time. This new movie brings in familiar faces but heads in a fresh direction. It's different from the earlier films, but longtime fans may enjoy the callbacks. Netflix hasn't said anything official yet, but if trends hold, it probably won't be a long wait.
