Superman Film Earns $579M, Highest-Grossing Solo US Release

Actor Alan Tudyk revealed that he improvised the name "Gary" for Superman Robot #4 during filming of James Gunn's Superman (2025), a detail not originally in the script. Tudyk explained that the character was initially called "Four" because earlier models of the robot were flawed, and the fourth was the perfected version, which led to the impromptu naming supported by co-star David Corenswet and director James Gunn. Despite debates among the creative team about whether the moment should be humorous or purely heartfelt, the name was kept for its sentimental value, highlighting Superman's affection for the robot. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced that Superman will be released on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray on September 23, featuring a star-studded cast including David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult. The film has grossed over $579 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing solo Superman film in the U.S. and the top superhero film of the year to date. Some special features like the director's commentary and deleted scenes will be exclusive to the digital release, with uncertainty about the extent of deleted footage, though it is known that some scenes with Krypto and Abominable Snowmen were cut.
