James Gunn confirms Superman digital release.

Overview

  • Superman will be available to buy or rent digitally on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home starting August 15, with pre-orders now open.
  • Warner Bros. has slated the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions for September 23, marking a roughly six-week gap between digital and physical formats.
  • The home package includes an hour-long “Adventures in Making Superman” featurette, James Gunn commentary, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and nine additional behind-the-scenes featurettes including a Krypto short.
  • After a four-week theatrical run, the film became the highest-grossing Superman movie in the United States, prompting the studio’s unusually brief theatrical window.
  • James Gunn has attributed softer international returns to Superman’s relative global popularity and “anti-American sentiment” in key overseas markets.
