Yes, The Cast's Reactions In Superman T-Craft Scene Were Completely Real
Who would have thought that another day at work could turn into a thrilling ride? Obviously, not the cast of the newly released Superman movie. The superhero action film, written and directed by James Gunn, features many scenes inside a futuristic aircraft called the T-Craft. The fictional high-tech aircraft was created by the film's character, Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, which is operated with the help of special T-Spheres.
While the majority of the time, Mister Terrific was flying the aircraft, towards the end of the film, Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan, took control of it. She even invited her colleagues at the Daily Planet newspaper for a ride on the T-Craft. Mikaela Hoover, who portrayed Cat Grant, a gossip columnist at the newspaper, shared that the cast knew nothing about the high-tech aircraft before filming the scene.
'When we got in there and we buckled our seat belts, we had no idea that [the T-Craft] was really going to lift up or go down or right or left," she told People. The 41-year-old actress continued, 'We didn't know what was going to happen. So all of those reactions we had in the T-Craft are real."
She compared the experience of their flight on the aircraft to that of riding a rollercoaster or a 'topsy-turvy" ride. Further, recalling the day they shot the scene, Mikaela revealed that one of the cast members almost threw up because they had a weak stomach. She said, 'It was quite the experience," sharing that it took them an entire day to film the scene.
The actress also mentioned that the cast initially was not sure about the ride, but later got the hang of it. Mikaela explained, 'We were in there for a long time, and there were a lot of takes, but we got the hang of what was going to happen. It was that first initial time going up in there that we didn't know how bumpy it would be or what was going to happen to us all."
Superman, which was released in the theatres on July 11, featured David Corenswet as the titular character, with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Nathan Fillion as a Green Lantern.
Speaking about her role in Superman, Mikaela hoped that her character and the Daily Planet gang would be seen in future instalments, if the makers decide to include her. She said, 'Of course, one can only hope that she continues on."

"Can't Continue The Way I Used To": Popular Food Vlogger Steps Away From Long-Form YouTube Videos
Firoz Chuttipara, the face behind Kerala's popular Village Food Channel, has said that he will no longer be making long-format YouTube videos that first brought him fame. Known for his massive cooking projects, like preparing hundreds of kilos of biryani or seafood pickle, Chuttipara's unique blend of tradition, scale and social impact earned him a huge following among food lovers in India and beyond. The Palakkad native, who returned to Kerala after working abroad, turned to YouTube with a vision. It was to cook grand meals, often for underprivileged communities, and show the process from scratch. But in a recent YouTube Live session, Firoz shared that the economics of creating such large-scale content no longer add up. 'I can't continue with YouTube the way I used to,' he said, as quoted by News18. With audiences increasingly turning to shorter videos, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, Firoz said that the shift in viewer behaviour has made long-form content financially unsustainable for creators like him. The limited earnings from short videos are not enough to offset the significant expenses involved in sourcing ingredients and handling large-scale production. Having said that, he clarified that while long videos will now be rare, short updates will continue to appear on his channel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VILLAGE FOOD CHANNEL (@villagefoodchannel_official) Looking ahead, Firoz has decided to channel his energy into a new business venture with a friend. Although he has kept the details under wraps, he said that the venture will be based in the UAE and will require much of his time and attention going forward. Firoz's journey, from expatriate to one of Kerala's most recognised culinary YouTubers, has been remarkable. While fans may miss the epic cooking sessions that made him famous, many remain eager to see how his next chapter unfolds, whether in business or short-form food content.
