But you don’t get more mainstream than Superman. And let’s face it, unless Christopher Reeve is in the suit, the rock-jawed Man of Steel can be a bit of a bore. Much of the fun and frustration of Gunn’s movie is seeing how he stretches and strains to make Superman, you know, interesting.

Superman's foil comes in Hoult's Lex Luthor, a man proudly consumed by envy, who, as Lois deduces, wants to be king (who said comic book allegory needed to be subtle?). Hoult joins Brosnahan and Corenswet in ceding character beats and development to a chaotic, teeming plot.

Rachel Brosnahan is showing us how to suit up for the summer. The actor is in New York City promoting the new Superman movie, in which she plays Lois Lane, and for a day of press engagements today, she showed off two very different takes on a suit.

Nicholas Hoult co-stars as criminal mastermind Lex Luthor, who twists public opinion to turn the world against the superhero, while pitting him against metahuman adversaries.

However, Rachel isn’t the only star in the family — her husband, Jason Ralph, is also a successful actor in his own right. As the 34-year-old continues promoting her upcoming superhero film, HELLO! takes a closer look at the couple’s relationship and Jason’s rise to fame.

David Corenswet and his wife Julia Best Warner pose together on the red carpet of the Los Angeles Premiere of Superman on July 7. King Charles and Queen Camilla look elegant in bright colors as they await the arrival of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Mrs. Brigitte Macron, on July 8.

An East Sussex teenager has designed the age classification card that UK cinemas will show before screenings of the new Superman film. Elsie, from Eastbourne, submitted artwork to a competition seeking a replacement for the traditional black card displaying the film's 12A age rating.

Superman might do more than just save Metropolis. Filmmaker James Gunn hopes the beloved superhero will bring hope to a cynical world.

The star, who plays Jimmy Olsen in James Gunn's new film, joined stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult at the L.A. premiere on Monday.
