James Gunn Superman Streams India After $600M Global Box Office

James Gunn's 2025 Superman, starring David Corenswet, has launched on streaming platforms in India with a rental price of Rs. 499 on Amazon Prime Video and BookMyShow, shortly after its successful theatrical run. The film reboots the DC Universe with a fresh and irreverent tone, featuring a younger Superman who balances his superhero duties with his role as a journalist, while tackling global conflicts instigated by the villainous Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult. Praised for blending humor, heart, and high-stakes action, the movie introduces new elements such as a superdog named Krypto and explores Clark Kent's personal and moral dilemmas. Financially, Superman has surpassed $600 million globally, becoming the 76th-highest-grossing film domestically in the U.S., even overtaking the box office total of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Despite its success, the film's box office haul is expected to fall short of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but it has been well-received critically with an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score. The digital release includes multiple language options, making the film accessible to a broad audience and allowing fans flexible viewing options through rental or purchase.
