After Just 2 Months, Warner Bros.' Blockbuster Is Already On HBO Max
The introduction of this new Superman film is exciting for fans and the DC universe.
What started as a success on the big screen is now getting a sequel on the small screen. The new DC production Superman, the summer hit of this year, is now available on the streaming service HBO Max.
The latest version of perhaps the most famous superhero made a grand debut under the direction of filmmaker and DC Studios head James Gunn. The film hit theaters only two months ago, and it is already being added to HBO Max's offerings, which many viewers find notably quick.
A quick transition to streaming often indicates that a title underperformed in theaters. That is certainly not the case for Superman. From its premiere, the film made an immediate impression and drew massive audiences.
During its opening weekend, Superman earned $125 million in the United States. For two weeks, the film remained at the top as the most-watched title in theaters until Fantastic Four: First Steps took over. Eventually, Superman grossed over $615 million worldwide, making it the most successful comic book adaptation of the year.
With Superman, DC is further expanding its universe, with the superhero once again taking center stage. For James Gunn, the decision to replace Henry Cavill was not an easy one, a choice that sparked discussion among many fans.
The new series of films kicks off with David Corenswet as Superman. Alongside him, there are roles for Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and Alan Tudyk. This sets the tone for the revamped DC universe that Gunn will continue to build upon.
