Netflix to stream James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ in September 2026

Netflix has confirmed that the film ‘Superman’, directed by James Gunn, will join its streaming catalog on September 19, 2026. This release follows the film’s theatrical run and its subsequent availability on HBO Max.

During its international theatrical exhibition, the film earned approximately $618 million at the box office. The move to Netflix is part of a multi-window distribution strategy designed to reach a broader audience. The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

This production marks the beginning of a new creative era for DC Studios under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran. The film’s availability on Netflix arrives roughly 14 months after its initial cinema release.
