The world was abuzz with speculation just a few years ago when it came time for James Gunn to cast his new Superman. Even before the part ultimately went to David Corenswet, he was being floated around as a likely candidate, and now you can watch how he got the part. YouTube account 21Casting posted the actor’s audition tape, which he performed with his wife Julia Warner. The three-minute video features him as Clark Kent being interviewed as Superman by Lois Lane over his intervention in Biayla

Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears

Stock market volatility was largely prompted by a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which claimed that 95pc of companies were getting “zero return” on their AI investments. A Meta spokesman sought to downplay the freeze, saying: “All that’s happening here is some basic organisational planning: creating a solid structure for our new superintelligence efforts after bringing people on board and undertaking yearly budgeting and planning exercises.” It comes after the company h

The group will be split into four smaller groups, according to a New York Times report.

Why Pooping on Planes Might Actually Be a Good Thing

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-12 11:55:19

Researchers have developed a new critical warning system for the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) superbugs: poop and pee from airplane bathrooms. Scientists predict that by 2050, AMR superbugs, or pathogens that don’t respond to antimicrobial medicines, might take more lives than cancer. As such, it’s critical for countries to keep an eye on the global propagation of these dangerous pathogens, which can travel with people, in order to best prepare for future infections.

There’s Something Really Suspicious About the Way This Star Died

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-15 11:06:47

Stellar death is a complex and mysterious process — but in the case of a supernova known as 2023zkd, things were more gruesome than any astronomer had ever seen before. As its name suggests, this supernova — the fabulous astronomical term for the explosive death of a star — was first spotted back in 2023, when Southern California's Zwicky Transient Facility zeroed in on it thanks to new AI algorithms designed to detect such brilliant blasts. This supernova, however, was different. It appeared,

The Big ‘Superman’ Speech Happened After This Emotional Behind the Scenes Moment

Sometimes the most magical thing about a movie is seeing how it came together. We can watch the final product and feel however it makes us feel, but that’s usually disconnected from all the work that went into it. You rarely think about the different takes, different conversations, and intense work that go into every single second. Especially a film’s biggest, most important emotional moment. James Gunn’s Superman is now available to watch at home, and part of the release is a 60-minute special

Star Tries to Swallow a Black Hole, Ignites One of the Strangest Supernovas Ever Seen

Black holes are dark, menacing objects with gravity so intense that not even light can escape, so you don’t want to mess with them. A recent discovery of one of the strangest supernovas ever observed reveals the tragic story of a star that tried to defy the powerful pull of a nearby black hole but later conceded in an explosive death.

James Gunn’s Superman was pushed out of the top five at the box office this past weekend, marking the beginning of the end of its box office run. It’s been a good one, with over $330 million in the U.S. so far and another $250 million worldwide. It’s the highest-grossing Superman film ever, domestically not adjusted for inflation, and now the journey takes its next step. Gunn took to social media Tuesday to announce his DC Universe film will be available on digital August 15. That’s this week.

Today’s PCs don’t have to be so powerful to get strong performance out of games, and it’s mostly due to occasionally derided but increasingly ubiquitous AI upscaling.
