"Superman" Flies to Digital ahead of "Peacemaker" Season 2
James Gunn told
ScreenRant
that 'Superman' is arriving early on digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home and more so that viewers can watch the epic superhero movie ahead of 'Peacemaker' Season 2 launching August 21 on HBO Max.
'Superman' effectively launched Gunn's new DC Universe. 'Peacemaker' is the next title in the universe, with Gunn having said already in several interviews that the events of 'Superman' directly play into Season 2 of the John Cena-led comic book series.
Characters introduced in 'Superman,' including Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), even make appearances in 'Peacemaker' Season 2.
'Superman' is arriving on PVOD digital platforms Friday, August 15, more or less a month after it opened in theaters July 11 from Warner Bros. and DC Studios.
Many comic book movie fans expressed disappointment at Warner Bros. for bringing 'Superman' to digital so soon after its theatrical opening since the movie has proven to be a box office smash hit with $334 million and counting domestically.
The film is nearing $600 million globally as well. 'Superman' has seen solid weekend holds at the box office, earning a strong $7 million in its fifth and most recent outing.
When ScreenRant's Liam Crowley voiced to Gunn that it was heartbreaking to see the summer blockbuster "already going to digital because I love a good, long theatrical campaign,' Gunn agreed by saying, 'Me too.' The writer-director then explained the divisive decision.
'Well, it's very complicated, but the truth is it is because of 'Peacemaker,'' Gunn noted. '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't get to a theater before 'Peacemaker.' And that's really the reason for it.'
'Superman' will continue to play in theaters even as it launches on digital platforms.

"Wednesday" Drops Trailer for Part 2 of Season 2
Yara Sameh Netflix has dropped the official trailer for the final four episodes of 'Wednesday' Part 2. The footage features the return of a fan favorite character: Principal Weems (played by Gwendoline Christie), who died in the Season 1 finale. In the trailer, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) wakes up from the coma she fell into after Tyler (Hunter Doohan) threw her out of a window at the Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. Weems, dressed as a nurse, greets her: 'Rise and shine, sleepyhead! Ready for your sponge bath?'. Suddenly, Wednesday and Weems appear in a dream-like outdoor area with a door that seems to lead nowhere and a massive gorgon head statue with a fireplace in its mouth. 'This isn't hell, Miss Adams, but I understand the confusion,' Weems says. When Wednesday asks, 'If I'm not dead, why are you here?,' Weems replies, 'Because I am your new spirit guide. Surprise!'. In another scene, Wednesday finally explains to Enid (Emma Myers) that she's in danger after keeping it from her during Part 1. When she says that Tyler is planning to kill both of them but that she's going to fix it, Enid replies, 'Fix it? You're the reason he escaped.' Weems appears and tells Wednesday that Enid has a point, but Enid can't see her. The footage continues to show Wednesday, Enid and others traversing through Nevermore and Jericho, with Weems saying in voiceover, 'If you don't hurry, you'll have nothing left to save.' The voiceover matches the voice of Lady Gaga that closes the trailer, saying, 'Beware, there will be a price to pay.' The pop star has been announced as a Season 2 guest star, but details of her character have still not been revealed. "Wednesday" Season 2 Part 1 premiered August 6 on Netflix, with Part 2 releasing on September 3. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
