'Superman' stars, director take on lumpia challenge with Abi Marquez

Superman lead stars David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, along with director James Gunn, took on the challenge of making lumpia in a guest appearance on the YouTube vlog of Filipino content creator Abi Marquez.

The trio joined Abi for a "lumpia showdown," where they faced off to see who could roll the most lumpia in two minutes.

"The challenge is simple. The Superman team will go head-to-head as they flawlessly peel off delicate lumpia wrappers and finally roll perfect lumpias with our savory filling," Abi said in the vlog.

"I think lumpia making is not in my future," James quipped as he struggled unpeeling the wrapper.

"Slow and steady," Rachel remarked as she successfully rolled a lumpia and ultimately emerged as the winner with the most rolls completed.

Fans online were quick to react to their lumpia showdown.

"The chemistry of this trio is just perfect," one fan commented.

"Congrats, Abi! So wonderful to see you spreading Fil food with awesome presentation and taste," another fan wrote.

The cast and crew of Superman recently made their way to Manila as part of the film’s international promotional tour.

On June 19, fans were treated to two Superman events, one at Opus Mall in Bridgetowne and another at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.

Following their stop in the Philippines, the Superman team continued the tour with appearances in Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, and Los Angeles, among others.
