James Gunn Announces Global SUPERMAN Tour With New Promo and David Corenswet Tells His Fun Casting Story — GeekTyrant
James Gunn is taking Superman on the road. With anticipation building for the debut of the new DCU, Gunn just announced an international 'World Tour' for Superman , sharing the news through a new promo video posted on his X and Instagram accounts. The short teaser promotes the global fan events and premieres that will roll out across the world in the weeks leading up to the movie's release. Alongside the announcement came a brand-new poster featuring David Corenswet's Man of Steel front and center, standing in the same classic pose we first saw in the teaser poster. The dates included on the image show which countries will host stops along the tour. No full itinerary just yet, but expect major cities and fan celebrations as Gunn and the cast go all in on getting people hyped. We're also getting a new featurette offering a glimpse at Corenswet's transformation into Superman including some behind-the-scenes footage and fresh shots from the film. There's also a tight little preview that gives fans a sense of the tone Gunn is going for and the physical and emotional journey Corenswet went through to step into the red boots. Corenswet recently shared a few personal moments about landing the role in an interview with Wonderland, and they're pretty great. 'I stepped away and answered the phone, and [Superman's director] James Gunn said, 'David, it's James Gunn.' And I said, 'Can you prove that?' Because I was in a suspicious mood.' He went on to say: 'I was able to tell my mom, aunt, uncle, sister, and wife before the news was made public. The last person I got to tell, a few hours after it was available publicly, was my high school theatre teacher, who was the one to convince me to audition for The Juilliard School and is a very close friend. 'He texted back, 'I'm doing a radio show for this theatre thing I'm involved with in Philly. I'll call you back.'' Corenswet continued: 'So, when he was done, I called him and asked, 'How's it going?' He replied, 'Oh, it's great! I was talking about this and that David, you know how it is…' I then said, 'Oh, did you tell them what it feels like to have your high school theatre student playing the next Superman?' 'And the phone just went dead. Then he exclaimed—I don't really remember what he said, but it was a really great phone call.' Superman will tell the story of 'Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. 'He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned. 'It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU." It will be the first official film in the new DC Universe timeline, kicking off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a rollout that will eventually include five films and five shows, among them Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold , Clayface , Swamp Thing , and more. The cast of Superman also includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois, Skyler Gisondo as Clark's best pal, Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce as The Daily Planet's Perry White; Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl; Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl; and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner. It also stars Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific; Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampan as Eve Teschmacher; Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason, aka Metamorphosis; Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.; Neva Howell as Martha Kent; and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent. The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

One the UK's 'most entertaining' getaways is in North Wales
It's Bill Bryson's favourite seaside town, so it must being doing something right. While many of Britain's coastal resorts are in genteel decline, Llandudno is doing its best to buck the trend. Being shoehorned between two headlands, with a great crescent of a promenade backed by handsome pastel-coloured hotels, and a stately pier stretching out into the bay, it will always have the bones of a classic seaside destination. Even without shops, restaurants and attractions (and North Shore sand), the resort still has a natural beauty guaranteed to appeal. While its core demographic of visitors may be the wrong side of 50, Llandudno has enough going on to generate traditional seaside buzz. As an entertainment venue, it's not quite Blackpool, not does it wish to be. But if you care to look for it, there's plenty of ways to keep busy besides promenading with chips and ice cream. This week, a survey named Llandudno the UK's 10th most 'entertaining resort' - it was second in Wales behind Swansea (5th). Inevitably, the list was headed by a glitzy Lancashire seaside town with an iconic tower and gaudy promenade lights. Blackpool topped the pile – compiled by SuomiCasino from a shortlist of 26 – by virtue of its 12 water/amusement parks and, appropriately, 13 casinos. Swansea's ranking was boosted by its 529 bars and restaurants – more than three times the number attributed to Llandudno (148). The survey was perhaps overly generous when it credited the Conwy town with four beaches – residents may wonder where half of them are. As the compilers used Tripadvisor's AI assistant, beaches at Penrhyn Bay and Deganwy might have been thrown in for good measure. At the same time, Llandudno was credited with 58 'landmarks', the most in the top 10 other than Blackpool (67). It fared less well for music venues (two), casinos (one, apparently?) and escape rooms (one). But the town has plenty more besides donkey rides, boat trips, and Punch and Judy. For the energetic, there a dry ski slope and a climbing centre. For families, the freshly renovated Craig-y-don paddling pool is always popular. The Great Orme has San Franciscan-style trams, alpine cable cars and simply spectacular views, including those from a road carved into the sea-cliff. And does Blackpool have a 3,000-year-old prehistoric copper mines you can wander around? Or a network of Victorian tunnels dug out beneath its streets? In the resort, tourists can visit chocolate and Home Front museums, and browse canopied shopping streets behind the seafront. Young and old can enjoy a blast of Wonderland whimsy by following the Alice Trail and its sculptures. Venue Cymru is huge, offering events, music and big touring productions. Sure, some elements are naff and parts of the town need sprucing up, particularly the iconic Grand Hotel. Phone signals are dire and the seagulls vicious. But this is a place that trades on its dramatic location and that will never change.

Miley Cyrus Explains How a Late-Night Appearance Enabled Her Viral VMAs Twerking Moment
Miley Cyrus appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, May 22, and confessed to the host that he had a role in her infamous 2013 VMAs performance The Grammy winner explained that she used Kimmel's show as a "trial run" to see if her controversial performance would work During their conversation, she also acknowledged that she's happy Kimmel invited her back while she's in her "new era"Miley Cyrus is reflecting on her viral 2013 VMAs performance — and crediting Jimmy Kimmel for his help. The 32-year-old Grammy-winning artist appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, May 22, and acknowledged that the late-night host has watched Cyrus grow before his very eyes. The singer explained that her first touch with the controversial Bangerz performances in 2013 began with an appearance on Kimmel's show. 'Let me tell you, I am so happy to see you in my new era,' she began. 'This new era is very sophisticated and I have to tell you, your show allowed me to create the VMAs in 2013.' 'I came here first and I kind of used the show as a trial run, you know, where I dance as a teddy bear like half naked, and everyone thought I was crazy,' she continued. 'But to see if it was going to work, I did it here first.' The 'Angels Like You' singer performed an outdoor show with a few of her big hits on Kimmel's show in June 2013. Then, in August 2013, she notably performed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where she was nearly nude twerking performance with Robin Thicke. Despite shocking audiences, it catapulted her to new levels of controversy, while also becoming standard fare for the singer. Since the performance, she has reflected on its impact on her career. In a 2018 interview with Wonderland magazine, she said it helped her grow and realize her potential to reach people. "Not only was culture changed, but my life and career were changed forever," she told the outlet. "It inspired me to use my platform for something much bigger. If the world is going to focus on me and what I am doing, then what I am doing should be impactful and it should be great." She then reflected on her "controversial" VMAs outfit in a 2023 British Vogue's Life in Looks video. The costume, she said while looking directly at the camera, "was extremely controversial and made a lot of people angry. I repeat, this teddy bear costume made a lot of people angry." She also explained the backstory behind the look. "This was inspired by a Todd James sculpture that I had fallen in love with. The bear reminded me of myself for some reason, I thought it was beautiful," Cyrus shared. During Cyrus' Thursday, May 22, appearance, she also chatted about her upcoming film, Something Beautiful, which will accompany her May 30 album of the same name. The project was driven by the songs on the album's tracklist, and she explained that fans shouldn't expect a traditional film with a plot. "The music is the story. Every song is storytelling," Cyrus explained. She continued, saying, "Even though this has become very kind of psychedelic and over the top [like] everything that I do, but at the end of it, really the heart of it is just the music. Really, the storytelling. So there was no need for characterization because I'm the character. And I never want to become something or someone that I'm not."

Lizzo on her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright: I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy
Singer-songwriter is sharing the relationship history of her boyfriend Myke Wright and herself. On the recent episode of 'Therapuss' with Jake Shane, the Grammy winner, 37, spoke about her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright and how they first met nearly a decade ago. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Towards the end of the episode, the 'Truth Hurts' singer and podcast host were "prescribing" advice to listeners, and were asked about two friends making the jump from platonic to romantic, reports 'People' magazine. As they continued to dish out their opinions, Lizzo revealed that she and her boyfriend first met as friends, telling Shane, 25, "I had a friends-to-lovers trope". "We both worked on this one TV show, (Wonderland), for MTV. I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy", she said. "I was just like, 'He's my best friend'". "I didn't have any guy friends like that, well, I did because you know I'm in the music industry. But I was like 'Wow, I can really talk to him. We had this crazy bond for years", she continued. "I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything". "He's your best friend", Shane replied. "Literally", agreed the 'Good As Hell' singer. She then confessed, "That is low-key like a fantasy. Right? It's like a 'Book-Tok' dream to be like, 'Oh my God, like he was my best friend'". Lizzo and Wright confirmed their romance in April 2022, after Andy Cohen accidentally "outed" their relationship when she appeared on his radio show that month. Two months later, they made their red carpet debut at a 'For Your Consideration' event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality. Months later, in a December 2022 interview on 'The Howard Stern Show', she spoke about the evolution of their relationship, saying that they're "not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in".
