Jack Quaid praises David Corenswet's Superman as hopeful and inspiring in James Gunn's new film
David Corenswet's portrayal of Superman in James Gunn's 2025 film is earning high praise, most recently from Jack Quaid, who voices the Man of Steel in My Adventures with Superman. Sharing his reaction on Threads, Quaid wrote, 'I absolutely loved SUPERMAN! Can't think of the last time a movie gave me so much hope. They did the big blue boy scout proud. I laughed. I cried. People in the audience cheered! A CHEER?! In 2025?! Incredible!' Corenswet, who has previously praised Smallville's Tom Welling and Christopher Reeve's legacy, also received notes of encouragement from Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. Now, Quaid has joined that chorus with a message that resonated with fans. He signed off affectionately: 'Sincerely, Anime Superman 🫡.' Quaid voices Clark Kent in the animated series that explores a younger Superman's early years in Metropolis. His words carry weight not just as a fellow actor but as someone who's embodied the same character in a different medium. The new Superman film has dominated the global box office, tapping into nostalgia while offering a fresh, emotionally grounded take.

Man orders iced coffee in Spain and the bill leaves him gobsmacked
Coffee is the second most popular beverage around the world, and at this time of year many of us enjoy it iced. However, some people have noticed they are being charged extra There is nothing like a good cup of coffee whether you need a boost of energy, are catching up with friends, or enjoy a cup for comfort. After water, it's the second most consumed drink in the world, and according to some scientific studies, moderate consumption could have beneficial effects on our health. And now, especially in summer, many people like to have theirs iced. Iced coffee is one of the favourite drinks of millions of Spaniards in summer. In recent months, however, there's been some controversy as some places appear to have started charging extra for ice. Iced coffees do sometimes come at a different cost to traditional coffee, but one man wasn't pleased about being charged extra for ice. The Threads user @juan_sjs indignantly posted a photo of a coffee shop (Cafe Mepiachi) receipt in Gijon, Asturias, And after seeing it, he was gobsmacked at realising there was a supplement of 80 cents for ice. The annoyed customer said: "Can someone explain to me if I need to get used to paying for ice separately from the coffee? The nearly 8 euros for 3 coffees is beside the point." On the bill, he was charged €5.30 for two Cafe con Leche, €2.45 for one normal coffee, and €0.80 for ice supplement. "Why should they give you the ice for free?" asked one user. Many have since defended the coffee shop, while just as many have sided with the customer. One other wrote: "You can say what you like, but I don't see anything wrong with it; coffee and ice are two different items, the owner of the establishment has to buy both, so both are charged for. "It's another matter if they give you ice as a courtesy when you order a soft drink that's usually served cold, for example, but if you're specifically asking for ice with a hot product then I understand them charging for it." Another said: "They should just put on the menu: iced coffee costs this much and that would end the dilemma." According to the menu on the website, there is a 25 cent supplement for ice, and a 20 cent supplement for milk. One other shared their fury and added: "I think it's outrageous to charge 40 cents for ice. Madness. I wouldn't go back. The other day, my mother was charged an extra 50 cents for asking for a bit of hot water to dilute her coffee because it was too strong. I was gobsmacked." Another critic said: "20 cents per glass with ice, which can be 1, 2, 3 or whatever the client asks for. If it has melted and the client wants more, you don't charge him. "You pay 20 euros for a hamburger, 12 euros for a drink, but you don't want to pay 20 cents for a service that I'm giving you extra?". Is it legal for bars to charge you for ice, water or cutlery? The Organisation of Consumers and Users (OCU) clarified whether it was legal for bars and cafés to charge extra for things like ice, water or cutlery in Spain. The organisation has posted an article explaining some of the most common practices that are not allowed. One practice that is illegal is not having a physical menu or visible price list. But what about things like ice or milk for your coffee? In all these cases, it is illegal as long as it does not appear explicitly on the price list. For example, the menu should indicate the cost of a drink with or without ice if they intend to charge extra for it. In this case, Cafe Mepiachi explicitly says on its website and menu that it charges extra for ice. Cafe Mepiachi has been approached for comment.

Sympathy scam alert: rider asks for money on WhatsApp, promises to repay next day
SCAMMERS are becoming not just smarter, but more creative by coming up with new, emotionally manipulative tactics to trick the public. In a Threads post, a user shared a suspicious WhatsApp message from a food delivery rider, who delivered a food order the previous day. The rider told her his motorbike had a flat tyre and he needed to borrow RM30 to fix it, promising to pay her back by the next night. The user said she felt conflicted — unsure whether it was a genuine plea or a well-disguised scam. Many netizens quickly chimed in, warning her that this method has been increasingly used to deceive unsuspecting victims. 'No need, sis. I came across a similar Threads post the other day — someone also shared a fake story. Now I'm reading yours, and it's the same case: flat tyre and asking for help,' said Eliana Aminuddin. Others said that riders from different p-hailing and courier services have recently been linked to similar scam attempts. Netizens urged the public to stay alert and not fall for such emotionally charged stories, especially when money is involved.

Has James Gunn Cast Adria Arjona in Wonder Woman? DC Co-Head Says ‘I'd Never in a Million Years…'
James Gunn has reacted to the rumors about the casting of Wonder Woman. While there has been no official announcement about locking any actress in for the lead role, fans believe that Adria Arjona would be perfect for the role. However, the DC co-head took to his Threads account and shared that no casting for the role of Wonder Woman has been done yet. Moreover, he also revealed that the actors for the new movie will be locked in only after the script is complete. Further on his social media, the Superman director claimed that he, along with the team, has marked Wonder Woman a priority. With the David Corenswet starrer garnering good reviews, the upcoming film has been fast-paced. James Gunn on casting of Wonder Woman The DC boss, on Threads, responded to the queries about the casting of Wonder Woman. Gunn shared, "...We're also not casting WW, nor even discussing it, until a script is finished.' Furthermore, the director went on to talk about Milly Alcock's casting in Supergirl. After dropping the first poster of the film, the co-head of DCU replied to a post claiming that the actress was roped in based on her previous roles. Gunn stated, "Nope. And I'd never in a million years look for a major role based on whether they did TV, films, or whatever. It's all about the casting. I didn't cast Milly because of her past, but because she was the best one for the role." He went on to explain that Alcock was perfect to play the character and hence was cast in the film. Another one of the users asked if Wonder Woman was fast-paced at the studios, considering the success of Superman. To this, the DC head shared, 'It's a priority but I wouldn't call that fast-tracked. Nothing is going to be shot unless we're as sure as we can be that the script is good.' Speaking about Arjona's casting, Gunn clarified that just because he follows the actress on Instagram does not mean that she has got the role in his film. Details about DC's Wonder Woman will be rolled out soon.
