After surpassing $331M<\/a> to become the United States\u2019 highest-grossing Man of Steel pic in the month since its release, James Gunn<\/a>\u2018s Superman<\/a> is soaring to digital in time for Peacemaker<\/a> fans to catch up ahead of Season 2.<\/p>\n Faster than a speeding bullet, Superman\u2018s North American digital release is set for Friday, Aug. 15, ahead of Peacemaker\u2018s Friday, Aug. 22 return to HBO Max<\/a>. The DC Studios<\/a> movie then becomes available Sept. 23 on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Gunn told ScreenRant<\/a> of the quick jump to digital, \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. There 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 Superman serves as a precursor for the events of Peacemaker Season 2, with the movie\u2019s supporting characters, Green Lantern\/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl\/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), appearing in a teaser for<\/a> upcoming episodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also coming soon to the digital version will be special features including a gag reel, deleted scenes and a director\u2019s commentary from Gunn, all of which will be automatically added for customers who have already purchased the movie on digital.<\/p>\n Peacemaker<\/p>\n The physical release will also include the featurettes \u2018Adventures in Making Superman\u2018, \u2018Lex Luthor: The Mind of a Master Villain\u2019, \u2018Paws to Pixels: Krypto is Born\u2019, \u2018The Justice Gang\u2019, \u2018A New Era: DC Takes Off\u2019 and more.<\/p>\n After taking over DC Studios with Safran in 2022, Superman marks the first entry in Gunn\u2019s new DCU franchise, which begins with the \u2018Gods and Monsters\u2019 phase.<\/p>\n Now in theaters, Superman stars David Corenswet in the titular role. In addition to Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda as The Engineer, as well as Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Sean Gunn, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced and Nathan Fillion as some familiar DC faces.<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
