💥 Up, up and away! 💥
We're feeling pretty super, man. The Man of Steel is back on movie screens, and thankfully, this one's not a sourpuss: David Corenswet takes his turn with the cape and tights in James Gunn's "Superman," an exciting intro to the rebooted DC superhero universe. The character has been a pop-culture icon for 80-plus years, so anytime there's a new one, it's a big deal. Also worth watching is "Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires," the latest in Disney's teen musical franchise with rising star Milo Manheim. And speaking of kids, yours might be watching more than usual since it's summer break, so we've got new guides for what and how much to watch. Now on to the good stuff: See David Corenswet as the newest Man of Steel in James Gunn's 'Superman' I talked with a bunch of "Superman" cast members, and while they all say similarly, Rachel Brosnahan says it best about David Corenswet: "He is Superman." I had an in-depth conversation with the latest Man of Steel about bringing "dad energy" to the role as a new father and what qualities he shares with the big blue Boy Scout. "We can be a force for calm and reassurance and centeredness even in the most tumultuous times in life," Corenswet says. And he's the main reason why "Superman" works so well. Director James Gunn has created a highly enjoyable adventure in a busy universe that feels electric and meaningful. (Peep my ★★★½ review.) Also, as part of our round-the-clock "Superman" coverage, we've got an exclusive look at the Daily Planet, a parent's guide for those with superhero-loving kids, an updated ranking of the top 50 superhero movies, plus a rundown of the best screen Supermen. Stream Disney's 'Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires' with Milo Manheim As the father of a tween girl, I was an early adopter of Disney's "Zombies," the 2018 fantasy musical comedy about a football-playing zombie (Milo Manheim) going to a "normal" high school and falling for cheer captain Addison (Meg Donnelly). It was a breezy and fun flick that birthed a loyal fandom, more movies and more monsters (including werewolves and aliens). For the premiere of "Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires," Manheim stopped by our studio for a photo shoot, plus we chatted about his "weird" career and recent run as Seymour in the off-Broadway revival of "Little Shop of Horrors." Being in the show "fueled everything," he says. "It fueled my drive, my excitement, my passion. It also fueled my fear, for sure, but that's the best part of it." "Zombies 4" is among several new movies on streaming this week, a list that also includes the thrillers "Opus" and "Drop," plus Tyler Perry's latest "Madea" comedy. Get a handle on your kids' screen time this summer Summertime means no school for the youngsters and more hours to watch TV and spend time on various screens and devices. TV critic Kelly Lawler talked with doctors, media experts and television creators, exploring how to navigate screen time, what children should be watching, and the things that you may want them to avoid. She's included a guide to the best TV shows for elementary-age kids, such as "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." Kelly doesn't forget the adults, though: She has a guide to all the new TV streaming this week, like the return of Michael C. Hall's fan-favorite serial killer in "Dexter: Resurrection." Even more goodness to check out! Got thoughts, questions, ideas, concerns, compliments or maybe even some recs for me?

'Zombies 4' star Milo Manheim on his 'weird' career, dealing with nosebleeds while acting
Even though he's only 24, Milo Manheim has been a singing Disney zombie for so long that the youngsters who grew up watching him are now his costars. That was extremely helpful going into 'Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires' because Manheim and fellow returning mainstay Meg Donnelly didn't have to explain the franchise vibe: catchy tunes, group dancing, fun monster stuff, good times had by all. But Manheim wasn't expecting so many of the new kids to be old-school 'Zombie" fans. 'They were clearly like, 'Oh my God, that's Zed and Addison!' ' Manheim recalls. 'To know that we've made such an impact is really crazy.' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox In the latest "Zombies" (streaming now on Disney+), gridiron-dominating zombie boy Zed (Manheim) and his human/alien cheer captain sweetheart Addison (Donnelly) go on a road trip the summer after their busy freshman year of college. They wish they could spend more time with each other, and they do, although it winds up being trying to bring peace to two new warring factions: Daywalkers and Vampires. Manheim, who's also an executive producer on the film, has been a staple of the 'Zombies' world since the first 2018 movie, and his star's been on the rise since. He competed on a season of 'Dancing with the Stars,' starred in the movies 'Thanksgiving' and 'Journey to Bethlehem,' and currently plays a high school football phantom on the teen supernatural show 'School Spirits,' which starts production on Season 3 soon. Plus, he just wrapped a stint playing Seymour opposite Elizabeth Gillies' Audrey in the off-Broadway revival of 'Little Shop of Horrors.' The California native, son of Emmy-winning actress Camryn Manheim, discusses the new 'Zombies,' his 'Little Shop' run and what's next. Question: In recent years, you've either played or been around zombies, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, a man-eating plant and a holiday-themed serial killer. Are you just drawn to horror and the supernatural, or have you just followed the best characters and projects so far? Milo Manheim: I don't know why the industry seems to pull me in this direction. Not that I disliked horror movies or paranormal activity TV shows or anything, but I never watched them. The best part of this all is that I have totally opened my mind and found what makes them so awesome. So maybe the universe was trying to teach me something. I have no idea why I'm always like a dead football player or something that has to do with the afterlife but I'm not complaining. What's new this time around playing Zed? Zed has always been a leader, but the biggest change is he's no longer the young 'un. He has now kind of taken on the, I don't even want to say father figure, but that's kind of what it is. He is inspiring the next generation to pick up where he left off. But outside of the movie, having all these new young kids that reminded me so much of my experience on the first movie, I really wanted to step up to that position. I am looking forward to seeing how they take hold of this franchise. Was that emotional for you and Meg, to pass the torch on to the new folks because it has been such a big part of your life? We did a lot of crying before, during and after shooting the movie. But I will say before we started the movie, I was nervous. I was scared, and a small part of me didn't want to pass the torch because I'm like, "We've done this thing, we've created it." But literally immediately after we had our new cast members, it was like, "I can't wait for them to take this torch and run with it and burn the flame even brighter." What did you learn about yourself playing Seymour in 'Little Shop' eight shows a week? Not to toot my own horn, but I learned that I am a better singer than I thought I was. I went into this show seeing the names of the past Seymours in the dressing room – Darren Criss, Jeremy Jordan, Jonathan Groff – and being like, 'I don't know what I'm doing here.' I sort of told myself, 'Milo, don't worry about the singing. Seymour doesn't have to be a good singer. He just needs to serve the story.' And I really focused on the comedy of it all and the physical aspect. And then as I went through the show with Liz, I really grew my confidence as a singer and just a performer on stage. Did the show fuel your passion to do more musical theater or to be on Broadway? It fueled everything. It fueled my drive, my excitement, my passion. It also fueled my fear, for sure, but that's the best part of it. There was one show where I had a nosebleed on stage, and I ran off and I put a tissue in my nose. We fixed it really fast. After the show, I went up to a cast member and I was like, "Ugh, this is why I hate theater." And she goes, "No, this is why you love theater." Seymour getting a nosebleed would be in character. I know. (Laughs) It's very obviously kind of a nerdy look to have a tissue in your nose. But also it happened before the plant opened up, so I was like, 'I started bleeding too early. Come on, Milo!' Zed's now in college, and you're now moving to a phase in your career where maybe you're not playing teens all the time. What are you most excited and most nervous about? It's probably the same thing. The nerves and the excitement go hand in hand. I don't necessarily have a "this is what I want to do" mindset. I have a "let's see what comes my way" mindset. I'm a big believer that things will work out and the universe sort of will push things your direction when it's time. I'm just looking forward to stepping into different shoes, whatever they are. I've already done so many different things. I mean, I played Joseph as in Mary, Jesus and Joseph. I played an (expletive) boyfriend in a horror movie. I'm a zombie in a musical franchise. I hope it's continuously weird and diverse in the things that I do.
