Superman<\/a><\/strong> director James Gunn<\/a> has explained the reason behind the early digital release of the David Corenswet-led DC Universe<\/a> movie. At the moment, the movie has already earned a worldwide gross of over $585 million at the box office. It also currently holds a Certified Fresh rating of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Superman was written and directed by Gunn, based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The movie stars Corenswet as Superman\/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Anthony Carrigan as Metarmorpho, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, and Neva Howell as Martha Kent, along with Alan Tudyk, Michael Rooker, and Grace Chan.<\/p>\n

What was the reason for Superman\u2019s early digital release?<\/h2>\n

Recently, Warner Bros. announced that Superman will be available to rent or own on digital platforms starting tomorrow, August 15, after a month since its theatrical debut. This is surprising for fans, especially when the movie is still performing well at the box office.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with ScreenRant, Gunn addressed Superman\u2019s early digital release, revealing that this decision was due to the impending premiere of Peacemaker<\/a> Season 2. He admitted that he initially thought that they would still have one more month before the John Cena-led show returns. However, the final decision for the movie\u2019s release strategy was ultimately out of his control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s very complicated, but the truth is it is because of Peacemaker. I originally thought Peacemaker was going to be coming out next month,\u201d Gunn shared. \u201cThere was a lot of things that are beyond our control, so that Peacemaker is coming out now, and, at the end of the day, I wanted everyone to be able to see Superman that wanted to, even those people who couldn\u2019t get to a theater before Peacemaker. And that\u2019s really the reason for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
