'Superman' star David Corenswet is trading his cape for a children's book as he prepares to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story on July 11, the same day the film hits theaters. Corenswet will read Rachel Bright's 'What Does Daddy Do?' a tale about young Daisy trying to figure out her father's mysterious job. While her friends' dads have clear professions – fireman, doctor – Daisy only knows her daddy climbs 'mountains of paperwork,' has to 'fly,' and reports to a dragon boss. Could he possibly be an 'explorersuperknight?' The bedtime story marks another star-studded addition to CBeebies' roster, which has featured everyone from Olivia Colman and Tom Hardy to Harry Styles and the Spice Girls.

David Corenswet Said to Make Superman ‘Bright and Optimistic' After Henry Cavill's Run Because Superheroes ‘Become Boring If You Just Keep Doing the Same Thing'
'Superman' star David Corenswet recently told GQ magazine that he is well aware James Gunn's new movie is causing a stir among fans loyal to Zack Snyder and the previous DC Universe, where Henry Cavill starred as the Man of Steel in three movies. A legion of Snyder fans have started an online movement to negatively impact the success of Gunn's 'Superman.' Their goal is to try and get the film to flop at the box office in order to tank the start of the new DC Universe that is replacing Snyder's. Corenswet unwittingly found himself the target of Snyder fans when he was cast as Gunn's Superman in the summer of 2023. Comments the actor made to Entertainment Weekly in 2019 resurfaced online at the time as Corenswet spoke about how the role of Superman was his dream gig, although not the dark and gritty version that Snyder and Cavill brought to the big screen. More from Variety James Gunn Says It's 'Nonsense' to Think 'Superman' Will Flop If It Doesn't Make $700 Million: 'It Doesn't Need to Be as Big as People Are Saying' 'Superman' Star David Corenswet Trades Cape for Kids' Book in CBeebies Bedtime Story - Global Bulletin 'Rick and Morty' Boss on How James Gunn and Zack Snyder Agreed to Parody Themselves and Their Dueling 'Superman' Takes (EXCLUSIVE) 'My pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman,' Corenswet said in 2019. 'I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.' Some fans of Snyder's DC Universe thought Corenswet was shading Cavill's Superman, although that could not be further from the truth. As Corenswet now told GQ magazine: 'I think that's the least interesting thing I could have said. Simply because with a great character like Superman, you want great artists and writers and actors to explore all of the possibilities of them.' 'The one way [superheroes] become boring is if you just keep doing the same thing over and over again,' Corenswet continued. 'And so, just like Chris Nolan took Batman and did something darker and more grounded with the character, Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill explored a side of Superman that hadn't been explored on the big screen. So, all I was saying was they're doing it so well. Whenever they're finished, I'd love to see the next one go the other way, and let's see the other side. In the same way, after Chris Nolan's Batman films and after Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson, there are a lot of people who are like, 'Where's our funny, campy, fantastical Batman?'' Gunn and Corenswet have now taken Superman in the opposite direction of Snyder and Cavill. The new Man of Steel is colorful and more light on his feet than he is dark and brooding. Corenswet previously told Heart that he reached out to Cavill for tips after landing the role, but Cavill had no wisdom to share. As for 'Superman' and Snyder fans, Gunn responded on Threads last month and said he's not too worried about the movement that's trying to tank his movie. One post from a Snyder fan read: 'Stand up and fight for SnyderVerse on July 11. Fight for our SnyderVerse on the imposter 'Superman' release day. Here's what we can do to make a difference: 1) Post spoilers everywhere. 2) Leave bad rating on review sites. 3) Reserve tickets online but don't complete the purchase. By selecting and reserving tickets, it gets taken out of the pool for a period of time which means this has a chance of stopping gunn-bots from buying tickets.' 'I don't mind it. I think it's good,' Gunn then told Rolling Stone about Snyder fans. 'I think you don't wanna have everybody root for you, and I have an actor who reads everything online. I won't say who it is, but he'll read this article, and he'll know who it is. It's one of the top five in Superman. And this actor gets so upset over things that people say. I said, 'First of all, you realize that the trailer came out and [reaction] was 97, 98% positive. These people help us, because you don't want everything to seem 100% positive.'' 'It's all right to have an opposing force every once in a while,' Gunn continued. 'Some of the things get ridiculous — I just know that every time something comes out, it doesn't matter how positively received, there's gonna be something that is of great controversy. It was great controversy that the sun caused Superman pain.' Gunn revealed on X shortly after taking over DC Studios that he had touched base with Snyder and there were no hard feelings between them. In an interview with Fandango last month, Gunn even revealed that he consulted with Snyder when it came to designing the new Superman suit and whether or not to add the red trunks. 'Superman' opens in theaters July 11 from Warner Bros.

James Gunn, Nathan Fillion and More on MAGA Outrage Over Director Saying Superman Is an Immigrant: ‘I Don't Have Anything to Say to Anybody' Spreading Hate
The team behind 'Superman' is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of 'an immigrant that came from other places.' When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for 'everyone' and that he doesn't have 'anything to say to anybody' spreading negativity around 'Superman.' More from Variety David Corenswet Said to Make Superman 'Bright and Optimistic' After Henry Cavill's Run Because Superheroes 'Become Boring If You Just Keep Doing the Same Thing' James Gunn Says It's 'Nonsense' to Think 'Superman' Will Flop If It Doesn't Make $700 Million: 'It Doesn't Need to Be as Big as People Are Saying' 'Superman' Star David Corenswet Trades Cape for Kids' Book in CBeebies Bedtime Story - Global Bulletin 'I'm not here to judge people,' he said at Monday night's 'Superman' premiere at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre. 'I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that's something everyone can relate to.' Nathan Fillion, who plays Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern, laughed off the negativity and kept his response brief. 'Aw, somebody needs a hug,' Fillion said. 'Just a movie, guys.' Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the film, stood up for his brother and emphasized that immigrants are integral to the fabric of America. 'My reaction to [the backlash] is that it is exactly what the movie is about,' he said. 'We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don't like that, you're not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.' James Gunn made waves with his Sunday profile in The Times of London after he explained some of the themes and ideals embedded in 'Superman.' He said that the film encompassed 'the story of America,' and on a fundamental level, is about a man looking for a new life away from his homeland. 'I mean, 'Superman' is the story of America,' James Gunn said. 'An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.' The quote enflamed backlash from commentators online and drew the attention of conservative media outlets like Fox News, which deemed 'Superman' 'Superwoke.' Network anchor Kellyanne Conway said of the film, 'We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us.' Jesse Watters added, 'You know what it says on his cape? MS13.'

It comes after the last series featured Kai Widdrington and Giovanni Pernice going on the run — and eventually getting caught. Former Royal Marine and Paralympian JJ will be partnered with Sophie Morgan, which will be a Celebrity Hunted first as the presenter is a wheelchair user. A TV insider said: 'JJ and Sophie will prove an interesting pairing because when they're forced to move around the country using various forms of transport it's going to highlight lots of accessibility issues.'

Other megastars who took part did agree to interviews and they include the likes of Bono and Sting. But even Sir Bob Geldof, who organised the original extravaganza four decades ago, couldn't get the veteran singer to come on the documentary.
