The movie's OTT release is the first instance it has been made available for streaming without limits, offering fans the opportunity to either revisit Gunn's take on Clark Kent or experience the reboot for the first time.
Trailer and plot
The official trailer promised a grounded but modern interpretation of the iconic DC hero. Corenswet's Superman struggles to balance his Kryptonian heritage with the human upbringing he received in Smallville. It follows Clark Kent as he attempts to stay true to himself in a world that increasingly counters any ideals of truth, justice, and moral clarity.
Gunn's tale puts Superman right at the center of a universal crisis in terms of a black hole. In this situation, he must balance his internal conflicts with the dangers of the cosmos. The film will present large-scale action combined with themes regarding identity, hope, and belonging, introducing one character who will need to redefine what it means to be a hero in modern times.

With its arrival on JioHotstar, the movie is expected to attract a new wave of spectators anxious to see the first chapter of DC's revised cinematic universe.
