"Streaming Release of 'Superman' – What Extras Are Included?"
News Article: Superman's Digital Release Packed with Exclusive Bonus Features
James Gunn's highly anticipated film, Superman, is set to grace digital streaming platforms on Aug. 15, 2025, bringing with it a wealth of bonus features that promise an immersive experience for fans.
The digital version of the film includes a host of extras, providing a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look and character explorations. Among these are the director's commentary by James Gunn, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and nine featurettes.
The featurettes cover various aspects of the film and its characters. For instance, "Adventures in Making Superman" is an hour-long documentary, while "Icons Forever: Superman’s Enduring Legacy" delves into the character's lasting impact. "Lex Luthor: The Mind of a Master Villain" offers insights into the character played by Nicholas Hoult, and "Kryptunes: The Music of Superman" explores the film's score.
Other featurettes include "Paws to Pixels: Krypto is Born", focusing on the Kryptonian dog, Krypto, "Breaking News: The Daily Planet Returns", and "The Ultimate Villain". Notably, "A New Era: DC Takes Off" and "The Justice Gang" are also part of the package.
A special segment titled "Krypto Saves the Day!: School Bus Scuffle" is also included, running approximately 5 minutes long. This segment focuses on Krypto's heroic deeds, saving the day in a school bus scuffle.
These bonus features provide a lighthearted contrast to the film's main narrative, making the digital purchase or rental of the film a must for Superman fans. However, it's worth noting that some of these major bonus features, such as deleted scenes, gag reel, and director commentary, are exclusive to the digital version and not included on Blu-ray or 4K physical releases.
The digital purchase price for Superman is $29.99. The film is rated PG-13 and has already earned a total of $585 million at the box office so far. David Corenswet stars as Superman (Clark Kent), while Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane and Skyler Gisondo stars as Jimmy Olsen.
In addition to the main cast, the film features Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Isabela Merced as Hawgirl, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.
