'Superman' villain the Engineer shows off her skills in full-length trailer
There are a lot of characters popping up in Superman, the new James Gunn-directed movie that helps launch a new era of DC superheroes on the big screen. Though, one we haven't seen much of so far is the Engineer, played by María Gabriela De Faría. The figure, a seemingly secondary villain to main antagonist Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), finally gets to show her stuff in the full-length trailer, which dropped Wednesday. In DC Comics, the original Engineer would use nanotechnology to alter his body, but his successor, one Ms. Angela Spica, was made of liquid machinery who could turn her limbs into weapons. Gunn's incarnation of the Engineer in Superman seems to be a hybrid of both. Dressed all in black, María Gabriela De Faría's doesn't appear to be made of liquid machinery, but can craft various weapons during a big battle in a baseball field against the Man of Steel himself (David Corenswet). It also appears this Engineer is in league with Luthor, or at the very least will be in league with him. The two show up later on in the trailer to attack the Fortress of Solitude, Superman's arctic headquarters. Gunn previously teased on social media that De Faría plays the Engineer "to sinister perfection." Superman, in theaters this July 11, is set a decent enough time into Clark Kent's tenure as the superhero, and not everyone in Metropolis (or the world) seems to be a fan of his. He and ace reporter Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) are dating, and she clearly knows Clark is Superman. The trailer teases a scene in which Lois enthusiastically takes Clark up on his offer to interview him as Superman and proceeds to grill him on public perception. The preview also shows new looks at Nathan Fillion as Earth-based Green Lantern Guy Gardner; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi's Michael Holt, a.k.a. Mister Terrific; Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho; Wendell Pierce as The Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White; Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.; and all the characters, Gunn clarified this will still very much be a Superman movie. "We have robots and monster babies and giant kaiju and all of that stuff. But that is also grounded around these incredibly real relationships with a couple that has started dating a few months ago, and now they're really learning the ins and outs of each other," he previously told Entertainment Weekly. "What's good about them? What's not so good about them? And what are their ideals like? We have Lois Lane, who's a pragmatist, and Superman is an idealist, and how does that work together?"

Nagpur violence: MDP founder Hamid Engineer granted bail
The Judicial Magistrate of First Class (JMFC) court on Monday granted bail to founder and working president of the Minorities Democratic Party (MDP) Hamid Engineer who was arrested in connection with the Nagpur violence. Mohammad Hamid Mohammad Hanif, also known as Hamid Engineer, 69, was named in an FIR by the cyber cell of Nagpur police over the March 19 violence in the city following a call by right-wing groups to remove Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb. Engineer was booked under sections, 192 (fabricating false evidence), 196 (using false evidence), 352 (1) (b) (statements promoting enmity), 353 (1) (c) (acts intended to incite violence or disturb public order via internet), 353 (2) of the BNS and relevant sections of the IT Act. Hamid Engineer had approached the court seeking to grant bail on March 26. In his bail application, Hamid Engineer had mentioned that the Nagpur police had alleged that during the period from March 17 to 19 , Engineer had shared online posts inciting communal riots and intended violence against the police force. Engineer argued that the claims were baseless, and also submitted that he had posted about Aurangzeb's tomb on March 16, a day before the violence. In the court, Engineer's lawyer claimed there is no evidence against him, and that he was not connected to the offence. The lawyer also said the investigation is over and nothing is left to be recovered. However, the public prosecutor opposed the bail, calling the charges serious. The prosecutor argued that releasing the accused could lead to more violence and disturb law and order. He also claimed the accused instigated the violence in Nagpur and might tamper with evidence if freed. The court granted Engineer bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000. Engineer had founded the MDP which has contested elections in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh but has failed to make any significant political inroads. One of his party's functionaries, Fahim Khan, was also arrested in connection with the Nagpur violence.
