Warner Bros. Pictures

Well, the rumour turned out to be right, DC Studios has officially announced that James Gunn’s “Superman” will arrive on Digital this Friday (August 15th), approximately 35 days after the film opened in cinemas.

In addition, the film’s 4K UHD and Blu-ray release has been announced, with the movie arriving on disc on September 23rd.

The release will include a one-hour making-of documentary, eight featurettes, director’s commentary, gag reel, deleted scenes, and the “Krypto Saves The Day” short.

That hour-long documentary has also just been released on YouTube and can be seen below, within it are some costume test shots, including shots of David Corenswet in the costume but without any belt or trunks.

Gunn previously discussed the debate that went on at the studio about Superman going trunkless, even Gunn himself wasn’t sold on the idea until Corenswet managed to convince him otherwise.

The announcement comes as the film is nearing $600 million at the worldwide box office and is still going fairly strong domestically with $7.95 million this past weekend.
