Alexa, play "Punkrocker." We finally realized that it was cool to be a little cheesy again in 2025, and writer/director James Gunn's "Superman" played a big role in getting us all to that point. Third time was indeed the charm for the most famous superhero of all time, as Superman received the theatrical reboot we've all been waiting for with a movie that successfully kickstarted this new DC Universe. Audiences clearly agreed, flocking to their nearest multiplex and fairly easily establishing "Superman" as the comic
book movie to beat this year. Buoyed by great word of mouth and even holding its own against its biggest competition from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," Gunn's throwback movie left us humming that iconic John Williams theme all the way home.
But who says the good times can't last even longer? Even as "Superman" remains playing in theaters around the world, we've now received official word on when we can expect the Big Blue Boy Scout to fly into homes on digital release. That official word comes courtesy of none other than Gunn himself, who posted on Twitter (only Lex Luthor would call it "X") that, "['Superman'] is coming to your homes this Friday, 8/15. Available now for pre-order. Or catch it while it's still in theaters!"

Faster than a speeding bullet, "Superman" will soon be made available to be watched (and re-watched) to your heart's content at home. Starring David Corenswet as the title character along with Nicholas Hoult as his dastardly arch-nemesis Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan as intrepid journalist Lois Lane, the 2025 film won over hearts and minds (including /Film's own Chris Evangelista, as he wrote in his review) on its way to establishing itself as a strong foundation on which the rest of this new DC Universe can be built.
