Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Some directors are known for working with the same actors multiple times, and "Superman" writer/director James Gunn is definitely one of those filmmakers. So it should come as little surprise that at least three "Guardians of the Galaxy" actors make cameos in the upcoming "Superman". Read More: Kevin Smith Is Writing A New 'Daredevil' Story Speaking to Buzzfeed Australia, James Gunn let the proverbial cat out of the bag about the three "Guardians" cameos. "I will give you something that nobody knows, but Pom Klementieff is one of the robots," Gunn revealed. "It's Bradley [Cooper] and then it's also Pom and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots." Chris Pratt as Peter Quill in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3." Chris Pratt as Peter Quill in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3." DISNEY Fans will remember Pom Klementieff plays the antennae-wielding empath Mantis who first appears in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and is ultimately revealed to be Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) half-sister. Michael Rooker plays the Ravager Yondu in the first two films, while Bradley Cooper has been the voice of Rocket Raccoon in all of his "Guardians" and "Avengers" appearances. In case you're confused about what robots Gunn is referring to: the three "Guardians" actors, along with Alan Tudyk, are voicing the Kryptonian robots who stand guard over Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Asked about "Guardians" actors Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana, Gunn said he was "keeping them in the wings." Technically, we already knew about one "Guardians of the Galaxy" actor appearing in "Superman". Nathan Fillion, who plays Guy Gardner/Green Lantern in the DC blockbuster, appears in both the first and third "Guardians" features. He would have appeared in the second, but his cameo was sadly cut. We already know Fillion's time as Guy Gardner will be longer than anything he did in the "Guardians" franchise. Along with "Superman", he's been confirmed to play Gardner in Season 2 of "Peacemaker" and Season 1 of "Lanterns". The fact that Klementieff, Cooper, and Rooker add their voices to "Superman" doesn't cut them out of future DC Studios appearances, either. In fact, we already know Rooker will appear again. Along with playing Savant in 2021's "The Suicide Squad", Rooker will play the eagle hunter Red St. Wild in the upcoming Season 2 of "Peacemaker". "Superman" releases in theaters on July 11. Tickets are on sale now. The film is written and directed by James Gunn. "Superman" stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.

Dad shares staggering bill after taking family for Disneyland ‘Princess Breakfast' & says ‘I nearly spat out my coffee'
'Please tell me you have 35 kids,' said one commenter ROYALLY EXPENSIVE Dad shares staggering bill after taking family for Disneyland 'Princess Breakfast' & says 'I nearly spat out my coffee' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY breakfast at Disneyland has sparked widespread outrage after a dad shared a photo of his eye-watering receipt. John Tolkien said he "almost spat out" his coffee when he received his family's breakfast bill at Disneyland California. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A family of five were in disbelief when they received their mega bill Credit: X/@jrockandrollt 2 The bill totalled almost $1000 for two adults and three kids Credit: X/@jrockandrollt The Disneyland Princess Breakfast totalled almost $1000 for three children and two adults - just over 20 per cent of the pre-tip cost. John's post left thousands in disbelief with many jumping online to share their shock. 'Please tell me you have 35 kids,' one person commented. Another wrote, 'That's ridiculous. So torn about going to Disney — could literally go to Italy for a month for the same amount.' Read more on World 'SOULLESS' DISNEY BOT New Disney attraction slammed by Walt Disney's granddaughter The Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures costs $142 per person and is held at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. Guests can enjoy a three-course meal while interacting with Disney Princesses and according to the Disneyland website, the experience also features tiered appetizer towers. Food options include lobster rolls, beignets, and cornbread. Children can enjoy mains like waffles and macaroni and cheese, while adults can choose from scrambled eggs, braised short ribs, and deviled eggs. Despite the hefty price tag, John admitted the overall experience was enjoyable, saying: "Service was attentive and enthusiastic." Disney World fan weighing 334lbs left 'permanently disfigured' on water slide "Princesses were all trained pro-actresses and spent a lot of time with the kids. I enjoyed it," he added. The Disneyland saga comes as the firm's granddaughter has slammed the entertainment giant for turning its legendary late founder into a 'robotic grandpa'. Disney is unveiling an animatronic Walt Disney to celebrate Disneyland California's 70th anniversary this July despite repeated pleas from his granddaughter Joanna Miller. Joanna Miller told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that her beloved grandfather, who died in 1966, would have hated being turned into a talking mechanical replica. 'I think I started crying,' she said, recalling the moment she first saw the figure. 'It didn't look like him to me.' Miller said she voiced her concerns early on, sending a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger when the idea was first proposed. She said she later met with Iger and the team responsible for creating the attraction, telling him: 'I strongly feel the last two minutes with the robot will do much more harm than good to Grandpa's legacy. "They will remember the robot - and not the man.' Despite Iger being 'very kind" and despite his promises to protect her grandfather's legacy, she said her request that they scrap the animatronic was ultimately ignored. Miller added it 'pains' her to call out the very company he created. The icon's granddaughter was speaking solely on behalf of her grandfather and mother, according to The LA Times.

'F1: The Movie' Star Hints He Could Be The Next Black Panther
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors "F1: The Movie" star Damson Idris could be the next Black Panther. That's the rumor Idris just added a lot of fuel to in an appearance on "Today". You can watch the video below. Appearing on the show to promote "F1: The Movie", Idris was invited to play a game in which he was supposed to supply yes or no answers about his career. When co-anchor Craig Melvin asked him if he'd had any conversations about being cast as the next Black Panther, Idris groaned and answered "Yes-no!" Read More: New Spider-Man Series Resolves Decades-Old Cliffhanger Craig responded with, "By the way, the yes-no means yes." Idris replied, "Uh, it could mean no!" Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther in "Black Panther." Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther in "Black Panther." DISNEY Craig retorted with "It probably means yes" and then asked Idris if he would play the Black Panther if asked. To that, Idris replied with "Yes". Rumors have been swirling around Idris replacing the late Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/The Black Panther for the better part of 2025. As recounted by Entertainment Weekly, the InSneider Report was the first site to claim Marvel Studios was looking to recast T'Challa in spite of initially saying that would never happen. In a since-deleted post, Idris would later sarcastically respond to a claim on X that he had turned down the role of Black Panther with, "Yes sir. I turned down 007, A co-lead film with Daniel Day Lewis and an Eddie Murphy biopic too." Boseman originated the role of T'Challa in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War", and would go on to play the hero three more times, including in 2018's "Black Panther. He died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 43. "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" followed in 2022, with Marvel vowing not to recast the role of T'Challa. Instead, the film opens with the reveal that T'Challa has died. Eventually, his sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) takes over the role of Black Panther. If Idris does wind up in "Black Panther 3", he could very well find himself working with Denzel Washington for the first time. Writer/Director Ryan Coogler recently confirmed not only that he wants Washington in the threequel, but that he's writing a part specifically for the Oscar-winner. There's no word yet on who Washington might play in "Black Panther 3" or when the movie might hit theaters.

The Controversial 2025 Snow White Remake is Coming to Disney+ for Streaming
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors For better or worse, a lot of people chose to stay home rather than see "Snow White" in the theater. The live-action remake of the animated classic did poorly at the box office, but now fans are about to have the chance to watch the remake at home. Read More: Is Rachel Zegler's 'Snow White' Woke? Five Major Changes Made to Original Here's when and where you can stream "Snow White" and everything else you need to know about how the movie did and why it proved so controversial.

Photo courtesy of Disney When is 'Snow White' Available for Free on Disney+? Disney+ subscribers will be able to stream "Snow White" on the platform on Wednesday, June 11. How Did 'Snow White' Perform at the Box Office? "Snow White" did not prove to be the fairest of them all at the box office. After a disappointing domestic opening of $42 million, the film went on to flop globally by taking in only $205.5 million against a reported production budget between $240 and $270 million. What are the Controversies Surrounding 'Snow White'? Many of the controversies surrounding "Snow White" revolved around the casting of Rachel Zegler as the titular heroine. At first, many fans of the property questioned the decision to cast a Latina as a character traditionally depicted as white. Later, Zegler's casting stirred more political controversy when she proved outspoken both in her pro-Palestinian stance and in her disapproval of the reelection of President Donald Trump. Gal Gadot's casting as the Evil Queen proved just as controversial when pro-Palestinian groups called for the film to be boycotted because of Gadot's previous service in the IDF and her support for Israel. There was also controversy about the use, or lack thereof, of actors with dwarfism. Most notably, Peter Dinklage caused a stir when he mentioned "Snow White" on an episode of "WTF with Marc Maron" and bashed the movie, calling it, "that f---ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together." More controversy erupted later when it was revealed that, of the actors whose motion capture and voices were used to create the CGI dwarfs, only one of them (Martin Klebba) was an actor with dwarfism.
