Superman, the first theatrical release for James Gunn\u2019s DCU that seemed to inspire a new wave of hope and punk rock, hit theaters last month. Now, the movie is now available to watch on digital marketplaces like Prime Video<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The fast turnaround isn\u2019t exactly an indication of poor box office performance \u2013 James Gunn had his own reasons<\/a> for making Superman available on VOD sooner rather than later. So, if you\u2019re looking for something to watch at home this weekend, I’d recommend checking out the palpable chemistry between David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan (and, honestly, Nicholas Hoult). <\/p>\n

Superman Arrives on Digital \"Superman<\/a><\/p>\n

Superman (Bonus X-Ray Edition)<\/p>\n

0<\/p>\n

The newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.<\/p>\n

Since releasing in theaters, Superman has grossed over $580 million<\/a>. While that may not be as big a number as, say, mid-2010\u2019s MCU releases, it still had the biggest opening weekend of any Superman movie<\/a>. It\u2019s also currently the highest grossing superhero movie<\/a> of 2025 so far (sorry, Fantastic Four). <\/p>\n

Ahead of the release on digital, director and DCU helm James Gunn took to social media<\/a> to urge potential viewers to catch the DCU film in theaters while they still can. Since then, Gunn has assured audiences he has reasons beyond the box office for the quick move to digital. Namely, Peacemaker. <\/p>\n

Season 2 of the DCU show is hitting HBO Max on August 21, and it directly follows the events of Superman. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Gunn explained, \u201cSuperman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker, it\u2019s incredibly important.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also gotten more information about what that \u201crest of the DCU\u201d will look like. Gunn recently name-dropped \u201cthe Superman Saga<\/a>,\u201d alluding to future films featuring the benevolent supe. Supergirl is set for release next summer, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it includes a family reunion. <\/p>\n

From IGN\u2019s Review of Superman:<\/a><\/p>\n

“Superman is a wonderfully entertaining, heartfelt cinematic reset for the Man of Steel, and a great new start for the DC universe on the big screen. David Corenswet is a natural, benevolent Superman, Nicholas Hoult\u2019s egomaniacal Lex Luthor gives him the perfect foil, and by minute two, you\u2019ll be willing to burn a thousand Kryptons if it means saving Supes\u2019 chaotic, good-boy companion Krypto the Superdog.”<\/p>\n

Streaming Release TBD, 4K Steelbook Releasing September 23<\/p>\n

Speaking of HBO Max, that\u2019s where Superman will eventually be available to stream. Unfortunately, despite the push for everyone watching the movie as soon as possible, we have no word on a streaming release date. The timeline of recent Warner Bros. releases would suggest Superman comes to streaming this October. <\/p>\n

What we do know for sure is when you can add Superman to your shelf. A Blu-ray and 4K steelbook<\/a> are are already up for preorder, coming out on September 23. While this has become relatively status quo, I always think it\u2019s worth mentioning that the Blu-ray (which you get to keep forever) is pretty much the same price<\/a> as renting through Prime Video. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superman, the first theatrical release for James Gunn\u2019s DCU that seemed to inspire a new wave of hope…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":["post-86067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
