Well, that didn’t take long. It was just released in the United States on July 11, and here is the James Gunn movie making it to HBO already. Via an official press release comes the news.
DC Studios’ blockbuster film SUPERMAN will make its global streaming debut on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, exclusively on HBO Max. SUPERMAN will debut on HBO linear on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 at 8:00 p.m. ET. A version of SUPERMAN with American Sign Language (ASL) will also stream exclusively on HBO Max, interpreted by Deaf ASL Interpreter Giovanni Maucere and directed by Leila Hanaumi (“Barbie with ASL,” “The Last of Us with ASL”).
When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good.
In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor, and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
SUPERMAN stars David Corenswet (“Twisters,” “Hollywood”) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult (the “X-Men” movies, “Juror #2”) as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi (“For All Mankind”), Anthony Carrigan (“Barry,” “Gotham”), Nathan Fillion (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “The Suicide Squad”), Isabela Merced (“Alien Romulus”), Skyler Gisondo (“Licorice Pizza,” “Booksmart”), Sara Sampaio (“At Midnight”), María Gabriela de Faría (“The Moodys”), Wendell Pierce (“Selma,” “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”), Alan Tudyk (“Andor”), Pruitt Taylor Vince (“Bird Box”) and Neva Howell (“Greedy People”).
The film is written and directed by James Gunn. Produced by DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn. Executive produced by Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo, and Lars Winther. Based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
To help herald the movie to the streamer, a stylized skin will overlay the home page, and special features will appear. Daily Planet Homepage will offer special features and character bios for the movie; the Fortress of Solitude page will present a collection of all things Superman titles, and Lex Luthor’s Pocket Prison will offer portals to other superheroes and super characters of note.
Some, like this writer, have long outgrown superheroes, but many have not. The blockbuster movie, which garnered a $615 million gross, is about to make its HBO debut. Are you ready for a new adventure from the iconic Man of Steel or just to watch it again from the comfort of your home? Up on the HBO screen, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SUPERMAN!
