'Superman' is soaring into homes with a digital release. Here's when.
After soaring through theaters, DC Studios' Superman will soon land on TV screens with the digital release of the superhero's namesake film nearing. Written and directed by James Gunn, "Superman" introduces a new Man of Steel in David Corenswet but also launches a rebooted DC movie universe. The film has earned more than $579 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing solo "Superman" film in the U.S. and the "largest grossing superhero film year-to-date," Warner Bros. Pictures said in a news release. In the film, Clark Kent (Corenswet) is in his third year of being Superman and protecting Metropolis when he loses his first fight. The movie also begins after Superman ignites an international incident by stopping a war from breaking out between the fictional neighboring nations Boravia and Jarhanpur. "When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire and master deceiver Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good," the film's synopsis says. Stream 'Superman' USA TODAY's Brian Truitt gave the film ★★★½ out of four, writing "the poppy, satisfying adventure succeeds on both fronts with the best Supes since Christopher Reeve." "The movie features pervasive positivity, one really cool canine and a bright comic book aesthetic," Truitt wrote in his review. "And while this fresh superhero landscape is extremely busy and a little bit familiar, it also feels lived-in and electric."

Jason Momoa reveals feelings on son getting cast in upcoming Dune film after initial fears
Actor Jason Momoa, famous for playing 'Aquaman' and the barbarian warlord Khal Drogo in 'Game of Thrones,' revealed on Monday how he changed his mind about his son joining the film industry and getting cast in an upcoming 'Dune' sequel. Momoa spoke on the 'SmartLess' podcast about how he was initially hesitant about allowing his teenage son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, to join the acting industry. Advertisement 'I'm like, 'You're never acting. There's no way I'm let – I'm not letting you act,'' he said, reflecting on his son's earlier acting ambitions after having done school plays. 'I'm just like, 'I don't want my kid [to be a] child actor. I don't want you in this business. Blah blah blah.' At age 16, a revelation occurred, however, when the Game of Thrones alumni planned to bring his son with him to the set of Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune' films. 'So, cut to, I'm like, 'He's 16. I really want – it's time for my son to be with me and travel,' Momoa recalled, sharing how his son wanted to learn more about acting. Momoa argued that bringing his son could instill a work ethic 'like mine of the Midwest.' Long hours of action scenes in heavy body armor are no cakewalk, Momoa said, 'It's not digging ditches, but it's f—ing hard.'

Marco Garcia/Shutterstock Momoa spoke about how a friend, producer Cale Boyter, encouraged him to film a 'stunt reel' tape with his son beforehand to test his skills. The actor then spoke about the process where his son, with very little acting experience, managed to greatly impress Boyter. He sent an audition tape of his son showing his acting skills, which impressed the filmmakers so much that they asked him to test some scenes in London with other actors who would potentially be in the film. Advertisement Momoa recalled being a nervous wreck while watching his son audition, 'He had to do like a really hard scene that even if I had to do that scene, there's no way I could pull that off, and to do that for the first time, and this kid killed it, and he did it on his own. I didn't help him at all. And I'm doing f—ing Dune with my son right now.' 4 Momoa initially thought his son might be eligible for some small role, but he was cast as Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya's son.
