James Gunn finally confirmed when Superman will arrive on HBO Max. The DC Universe’s Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters” kicked off in 2025, bringing Krypton’s last son back to theaters with David Corenswet stepping into the iconic role. After years in development, the movie set the stage for DC Studios’ new superhero reboot, following the DCEU timeline that ended in 2023. Fans have been waiting to know when Gunn’s version of Superman would land on streaming, and now the wait is over.
Superman Streaming Date Revealed
The official streaming release is set for Friday, September 19. David Corenswet shared a post hinting at it, and Gunn confirmed on X that the film will officially be available on HBO Max. By this point, Superman has earned $615 million worldwide, with $353.9 million from domestic theaters and $261.2 million internationally, per Box Office Mojo. It is the highest-grossing superhero movie of 2025, surpassing all Marvel releases this year.
