The new 'Superman' is a hit. So what's coming next in the DC universe?
James Gunn had a very specific plan for his audience when launching the interconnected new DC universe with 'Superman': The less they know at first, the better. 'I wanted it to feel like what I felt like as a kid reading comic books, like I didn't know anything about these guys,' says the 'Superman' director and co-head of DC Studios with Peter Safran. 'I'm seeing Superman and his friends with a guy with a magic ring and a bald guy that can transform his body into stuff and all these different people. There were robots and flying dogs and kaiju and all this sorcery and science that seemed like sorcery. And I loved just bringing that magical world to the screen.' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox While the new DCU technically started last year with the animated series 'Creature Commandos,' 'Superman' (in theaters now) truly launched the rebooted universe. The latest take on the superhero stars David Corenswet as Superman, Nicholas Hoult as arch nemesis Lex Luthor, and a supporting cast of characters who'll no doubt show up in other TV shows and movies down the line. For example, Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern and member of the Justice Gang in 'Superman,' will also play a role in the upcoming HBO Max series 'Lanterns.' Now that 'Superman' is a runaway hit after its big first weekend ($122 million at the domestic box office), here's a rundown of what's to come in the first 'chapter' of Gunn's DCU, labeled 'Gods and Monsters.' John Cena returns as Peacemaker this summer Played by John Cena, the antiheroic Peacemaker first appeared in Gunn's 2021 movie 'The Suicide Squad' and then was seen in the 2022 'Peacemaker' TV series. Season 2 of the HBO Max show premieres Aug. 21 and features not only Cena's character but also Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), a military man from 'Creature Commandos' whose son was killed by Peacemaker. So there's probably revenge on his mind. The 'Peacemaker' trailer also teased an appearance from the Justice Gang, a supergroup featuring Gardner, Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) that appeared in 'Superman" and is bankrolled by billionaire Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn). Expect more intel to come out of the show's Comic-Con panel on July 25. Milly Alcock flies as 'Supergirl' in 2026 One of the bigger cameos in 'Superman' was Milly Alcock's first appearance as Supes' cousin Kara, who drops by somewhat inebriated to pick up her pup Krypto. She will be back on the big screen next summer in 'Supergirl' (in theaters June 26, 2026), a cosmic adventure/revenge quest that will mark Jason Momoa's debut as the fan-favorite alien bounty hunter Lobo. The film is based on the comic book 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,' and Alcock matched Gunn's vision for a 'pixie-ish, punk rock' version of the character, he tells USA TODAY. 'It's like this sort of drunken sorority girl Supergirl who's just also really tough. And it's the Supergirl that I always wanted to see that I never knew I wanted to see.' 'Lanterns' kicks off a new slate of DC TV shows Expected to premiere on HBO early next year, 'Lanterns' is a eight-episode series that will feature members of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps investigating a murder on Earth. Kyle Chandler plays Green Lantern veteran Hal Jordan, Aaron Pierre is rookie John Stewart, and Fillion will reprise his role as the brash Guy Gardner. Other shows in development include 'Waller,' a series with Viola Davis back as Suicide Squad head Amanda Waller, and 'Paradise Lost,' a drama set on the Amazons' island of Themyscira before Wonder Woman's birth. The comedy 'Booster Gold' will feature the time-traveling hero from the future, and also in the works is a 'Blue Beetle' animated series (with Xolo Maridueña reprising his 2023 movie role) and a second season of 'Creature Commandos.' More DC movies are on the way – maybe 'Superman 2'? 'Clayface,' a horror movie centered on the Batman villain, has a release date (Sept. 11, 2026), a director ('Speak No Evil' filmmaker James Watkins) and a star (Tom Rhys Harries). And if you've got a Dark Knight baddie, you need a Dark Knight, though Gunn hasn't cast a Caped Crusader yet for 'The Brave and the Bold.' That will feature Batman (one different from Robert Pattinson's take on the character in 'The Batman' world) as well as son/sidekick Damian Wayne (aka Robin). The DC braintrust also is in need of a new Wonder Woman for her film, one of many in development including 'The Authority,' Luca Guadagnino's 'Sgt. Rock' and James Mangold's 'Swamp Thing.' But don't forget the Man of Steel: David Corenswet has said he's already signed on for another movie, a no-brainer considering the enthusiastic reception for the new movie.

A very early look at when Pumpkin Spice Lattes may return to Starbucks
We still have several weeks left of summer, but some companies are already looking ahead to the fall. While autumn is synonymous with many things, including football season and cooler weather, it is perhaps most associated with one flavor: pumpkin. More specifically, fall means the return of pumpkin spice lattes − and Starbucks' version has a cult following. The Pumpkin Spice Latte, or PSL, was first introduced to Starbucks customers in 2003, according to the company, and has since become an iconic part of fall for many coffee drinkers. For the last 20 years, customers have eagerly awaited the return of the drink to Starbucks menus across the country, which usually happens at the end of August. While Starbucks has not officially announced the 2025 return date, we looked back at when the drink became available in years past to see if we could make a guess. Here's our early look at when Starbucks' PSL might arrive this year. When does the Pumpkin Spice Latte usually return to Starbucks menus? Here's when Starbucks has launched its fall menu, which includes the PSL, in the past few years: When might the Pumpkin Spice Latte return in 2025? Based on the trends above, the two most likely dates the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available in 2025 are either Thursday, Aug. 21 or Tuesday, Aug. 26. USA TODAY has reached out to Starbucks. What is in Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte? The PSL is made with espresso and steamed milk with real pumpkin flavor, plus cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. The whipped cream topping also has pumpkin pie spices, the company says. You can order it hot, cold or blended. A typical Grande (16-ounce) PSL made with 2% milk, two espresso shots, milk foam and whipped cream has about 390 calories, 150 mg of caffeine and 14 grams of total fat.

Google reveals more Amaya Papaya fun after 'Love Island USA' win
Google is celebrating the winners of "Love Island USA" Season 7 with a fruit-shaped Easter egg. On July 13, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were crowned the fan-favorite couple during the finale of the dating reality show, earning a $100,000 cash prize to boot. Espinal, a 25-year-old cardiac nurse, had a tumultuous journey since entering the villa on the fourth episode of the season. But between failed couplings with fellow Islanders Ace Greene, Austin Shepard and Zak Srakaew, Espinal became a fan favorite for her affirmations of positivity and self-love. One such declaration, which came in the form of a song "Amaya Papaya" sang to herself in the mirror, even caught Google's attention. Earlier in July, the search engine used lyrics from the song to appear in a ticker tape pop-up message atop the page when users Google "Amaya Papaya." Now that Espinal took home the title, Google has added another nod to the New York City native. Papayas flood Google screen for Amaya from 'Love Island USA' Users searching for "Amaya Papaya" or "Amaya Love Island" on Google July 14 got a fruit-shaped surprise on their screens. An array of papayas and confetti temporarily pour down the screen when the search is made on Google. In addition, the existing ticker tape lyric also runs across the top of the screen. "I never said I was perfect. I never said I didn't have any flaws," the line reads. "We love to celebrate fun moments in pop culture by creating delightful surprises when people come to Search looking for information about iconic TV shows, films and more," a Google spokesperson previously said in a statement to USA TODAY. 'Amaya Papaya' song from 'Love Island USA' goes viral 1 billion likes and Amaya drops a mixtape. 💿 #LoveIslandUSA @Amaya🩰🍒💕🫧 #AmayaPapaya Google isn't the only big name to recognize "Amaya Papaya" and her self-love ballad. After "Love Island USA" posted the clip of Espinal's song to TikTok, some brands even chimed in to share their support for her. Chipotle said in a comment that it is "abt to add papaya to the menu bc i love amaya so much." Cheez-It called the tune the "song of the summer" in another TikTok comment. The clip went viral, garnering more than 16 million views and one million likes to date. Grammy Award-winning singer Lizzo shared a video using the song, writing, "tell Amaya Papaya we love her." Even Espinal's former fellow Islanders, including Jeremiah Brown, Andreina Santos-Marte and Courtney Watson, also made videos lip syncing to the audio.
