Superman Flies Onto Digital Just Over a Month After Hitting Theaters
James Gunn's Superman is now available to watch online.
Superman, the first theatrical release for James Gunn’s 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.
The fast turnaround isn’t exactly an indication of poor box office performance – James Gunn had his own reasons for making Superman available on VOD sooner rather than later. So, if you’re 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).
Superman Arrives on Digital
Since releasing in theaters, Superman has grossed over $580 million. While that may not be as big a number as, say, mid-2010’s MCU releases, it still had the biggest opening weekend of any Superman movie. It’s also currently the highest grossing superhero movie of 2025 so far (sorry, Fantastic Four).
Ahead of the release on digital, director and DCU helm James Gunn took to social media 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.
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, Gunn explained, “Superman 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’s incredibly important.”
We’ve also gotten more information about what that “rest of the DCU” will look like. Gunn recently name-dropped “the Superman Saga,” alluding to future films featuring the benevolent supe. Supergirl is set for release next summer, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it includes a family reunion.
Streaming Release TBD, 4K Steelbook Releasing September 23
Speaking of HBO Max, that’s 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.
What we do know for sure is when you can add Superman to your shelf. A Blu-ray and 4K steelbook are are already up for preorder, coming out on September 23. While this has become relatively status quo, I always think it’s worth mentioning that the Blu-ray (which you get to keep forever) is pretty much the same price as renting through Prime Video.
