Superman Post-Credits Scene Explained: What Are David Corenswet-Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific Fighting About and Who is Krypto?
Superman has officially hit the theatres, and after much waiting, there seems to be a little bit of confusion as to how many post-credits scenes the fans can spot in the DC Comic film. The correct answer is one, but most websites will point you to two. James Gunn 's debut run with the DCEU has been far more enjoyable than what fans would expect, and its end opens up questions about the future of Superman and Mister Terrific as well as Supergirl's dog Krypto. Yes, allow us to explain. Superman's Mid-Credit and Post-Credit Scenes Explored According to our understanding, there appears to be one, widely known scene that presents as soon as Milly Alcock's Supergirl announces her surprise presence in the film. She unveils the truth behind the identity of the dog named Krypto, sharing that it is, in fact, her pet. With this, a can of worms is opened, spilling more possibilities than answers. In the mid-credit scene, the poster image of Superman and Krypto observing Earth from an otherworldly place can be seen, proving to be not much of a shock for the viewers. Hence, its placement mid-credit and not post-credit, where the important bit lies. However, James Gunn's Superman did not delve much during its after-movie revelation either, going for an attempted comedy scene rather than an introspective or speculative one. David Corenswet 's Superman and Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific can be seen standing gazing at a building, which has gone through the destruction helmed by Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, and the rebuild by the latter, Michael Holt. They soon get into a banter about the state of the buildings and how they seem a little 'off'. Visibly bothered by his remarks and dissatisfaction, they bicker about the possibilities, and Mister Terrific exits in anger. Clark Kent is left reeling from the interaction and looking back at his own words, muttering how he can be a 'jerk' at times. It gives no information about what the future holds for either of the character or their stories, and we're not sure if it even qualifies as a good post-credits scene.

Movie Maniac: Just in time: Another ‘Superman' for the ages
If the world ever needed a 'Superman,' it's right now. The latest big-screen adaptation of the classic DC Comic bursts into theaters this week, amid explosive hype. And amid real-life political turmoil. 'Superman is the story of America,' director James Gunn ('Guardians of the Galaxy') said in an interview with the UK's Sunday Times. 'An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.' Gunn's new vision finds Superman fighting to reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way, he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned. Relative newcomer David Corenswet (Netflix's 'Hollywood') stars as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (TV's 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel') as Lois Lane and British import Nicholas Hoult ('Nosferatu,' TV's 'The Great') as Lex Luthor. Superman was created in 1934 by Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster before making his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938. Since then, there have been numerous incarnations of the Man of Steel, including many movie adaptations. Here's a look at some of the previous films: 'Superman and the Mole-Men' (1951) – This was the first feature-length Superman movie, directed by Lee Sholem and starring George Reeves as our hero and Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. Reeves would go on to star in the TV series 'The Adventures of Superman' from 1952 to 1958. 'Superman: The Movie' (1978) – Richard Donner directed Christopher Reeve as Superman, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor. The film was a critical and commercial success, prompting several sequels that were up-and-down, at best (1981's 'Superman II,' 1983's 'Superman III' and 1987's 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace'). 'Superman Returns' (2006) – Bryan Singer ('The Usual Suspects,' 'X-Men') directed Brandon Routh as Superman, Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Singer's moody take on the superhero garnered mixed reviews and lackluster box office. 'Man of Steel' (2013) – Usually over-the-top director Zack Snyder ('300') lent his frenetic style to a higher-action vision of the tale with Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. This spawned several follow-ups by Snyder starring Cavill: 2016's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' 2017's 'Justice League' (co-directed by Joss Whedon) and 2021's 'Zack Snyder's Justice League,' a four-hour extended cut of the original. Excessive? Perhaps. But Superman is anything but subtle. Reach Rod Pocowatchit at rodrick@

Cannes One To Watch: Ivorian Artist Laetitia Ky Sets Her Sights On Superheroes With ‘Promised Sky'
Having found fame in international art circles for her natural hair sculptures championing African culture, Black beauty and women's rights, Laetitia Ky has now set her sights on building a cinema career. 'I've always had a fascination for superheroes,' says the globe-trotting Ivorian artist and activist on a Zoom call from Monaco, where she is currently midway through a residency at the principality's Quai Art Studios. 'I've watched nearly all the Marvel and DC Comic movies and read all the comics,' she continues, explaining that it is the non-reality of the superhero worlds that fuels her passion. The Marvel and DC Comic protagonists also chime with the message of empowerment implicit in Ky's elaborate hair-based works — depicting everything from a vacuum cleaner to a butterfly. Ky is in Cannes as one of three actresses in Tunisian-French director Erige Sehiri's Un Certain Regard title Promised Sky. More from Deadline Scarlett Johansson On Why The Script For Her Directorial Debut 'Eleanor The Great' Made Her Cry: 'It's About Forgiveness' – Cannes Cover Story Ones To Watch: How 'My Father's Shadow' Filmmaker Akinola Davies Jr. Teamed With His Brother To Tell A Nigerian Family Story Brazilian Comeback: How The Cannes 2025 Country Of Honor Is Following The Success Of 'I'm Still Here' The migrant drama, about three Ivorian women living together in the Tunisian capital of Tunis, is Sehri's second fiction feature after 2022 Directors' Fortnight selection Under the Fig Trees. Sehiri contacted Ky on Instagram, where she has half a million followers, after reading about her in the French edition of Elle magazine, as she was on the verge of traveling to the Ivorian capital of Abidjan to scout for actors. Ky's resulting role as a directionless Ivorian student who finds refuge in the home of a journalist-turned-evangelist pastor, does not play heavily on her hair. 'It was important for me that if I'm going to do cinema, it's not only so that productions can use my hair again and again. I want to be valued as an actress as much as the other actresses on the set,' she says. Ky was previously seen on the big screen in Giacomo Abbruzzese's 2023 drama Disco Boy and also played the queen in Philippe Lacôte's 2020 fantasy Night of the Kings. Her next cinema goal is to secure an English-language speaking role, while she is also developing a screenplay about a contemporary female African superhero based on Ivory Coast folklore. 'I spent a few months researching it, going to certain places in the interior of the country, to talk to village chiefs who have a strong knowledge of the culture,' she says. 'There are now still 60 ethnic groups in the Ivory Coast, each with their own customs and beliefs. So, I've mixed modern elements with what I heard.'

New documentary digs into Alex Ross' impact on comics
The new documentary "The Legend of Kingdom Come" pays homage to Chicago artist Alex Ross' unique style and impact in the comic world. The big picture: Ross' four-part "Kingdom Come" series became legendary for DC Comic fans, in part due to his hyperrealistic artistry and painting technique. The documentary also explores the Chicago comic scene in the mid-'90s. Flashback: Long before creators and fans bonded online over their shared love of comics, "drink and draws" brought them together at places like Torchlight Cafe. "Things were exploding with lots of indie publishers, artists experimenting with all types of characters, and yes, some competition," documentary producer Sal Abbinanti tells Axios. "We were young and didn't have any money or kids or mortgages. We just drew and shared it and weren't afraid to fail. It was a glorious time." What they're saying: " There are very few painters in comics, especially these days, where much is done digitally. Alex's process is totally analog and he's incredibly prolific," the film's director Remsy Atassi tells Axios. "It's a wonder to see him work."
