Panthers release their own Superman 'trailer' starring Cam Newton
Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's . . . Cam Newton!
The latest, and highly-anticipated, adaptation of Superman was released to silver screens across the nation on Friday. Directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, the film follows everyone's favorite Daily Planet reporter as he tries to protect the world against the evil Lex Luthor.
But despite the excitement around the new blockbuster, Carolina Panthers fans might tell you that they've seen this story already. In fact, the team released their own "trailer" of their own Superman last night . . .
"Superman," of course, was one of Newton's handful of nicknames. He certainly earned the moniker, too—having powered the Panthers to the first three-peat in NFC South history as well as the organization's second-ever (and last) Super Bowl appearance a decade ago.
Newton played 10 of his 11 NFL campaigns for Carolina, with his last snap coming in 2021. He still stands as the only Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year in franchise history.
And with the ten-year anniversary of that decorated 2015 campaign coming up, perhaps Superman will make his long-awaited return back to Charlotte and save the day at least one more time.

Superman's an all-American hit again.
Superman's an all-American hit again. Director James Gunn's DCU reboot scored $122 million in the US this weekend, the best launch ever for a Superman solo pick, and the biggest comic opening since Deadpool & Wolverine . That's a strong start, but $95 million in the rest of the world is less impressive, suggesting the Man of Steel hasn't entirely shed the patriotic sheen that Trump tried to take advantage of. That probably hurts its hopes of joining the billion dollar club.

When is 'Superman' streaming? Here's our best guess
"Superman," surely one of the most anticipated summer movies of 2025, has arrived. As the first movie from James Gunn's DCU project, David Corenswet's Man of Steel has a lot of weight on his shoulders, but early signs suggest that critics and fans are on board with this more hopeful version of the Last Son of Krypton. As of writing, the movie's landed an 82% critics score and a 95% from fans on the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes, with praise coming for the ensemble, the warm and fun feel, and a scene-stealing turn from Supes' four-legged friend, Krypto. In her "Superman" review, TG's own Alix Blackburn called it "a caped comeback to celebrate," and a movie that feels both "fresh and faithful" to DC's iconic hero. And, having seen the movie myself, I'd agree: "Superman" is a strong statement of intent for the DCU. It's a charming popcorn blockbuster and a movie that I'm sure countless Superman fans will love (even if it is a tad messy and is maybe juggling one too many moving parts). The movie takes us three years into this particular Superman's run, and sees him tangling with tech billionaire (and noted Superman hater) Lex Luthor (a brilliant Nicholas Hoult), who's determined to see the Man of Tomorrow gone for good. It's definitely a movie that you should experience on the big screen, in my opinion, but if you'd prefer to wait to stream it, we unfortunately do not yet have a "Superman" streaming date just yet. However, here's my best guess at when I think we might be able to watch the new release at home. At the time of writing, the only way to see "Superman" is by heading to your nearest movie theater, and that's unlikely to change for a while yet. After all, the movie only just came to the big screen on Friday, July 11. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The first place you'll be able to stream it at home will surely be via premium video-on-demand (PVOD) storefronts like Amazon or Apple TV. Like I said above, we don't currently know when "Superman" will make its way to any streaming services. However, being a Warner Bros. movie, we can expect the movie will first be available on Warner Bros. Discovery's newly-renamed streamer, HBO Max. And if I had to guess when we might be able to watch the DCU's first movie at home, I'd wager James Gunn's "Superman" movie would arrive on HBO Max at the end of September 2025. That guess is based on the typical length of time we've waited for new releases to hit the streamer. For example, Ryan Coogler's hugely popular thriller "Sinners" came to HBO Max on July 4, which was 78 days after it first hit theaters. That's the same number of days we waited for "A Minecraft Movie", "Companion", and "Mickey 17" to hit HBO Max, too. So, 78 days seems like the magic number when it comes to Warner Bros. movies, which is why I think we won't see "Superman" soar onto the small screen until the fall. Counting off 78 days from the movie's release day would be Friday, September 26, 2025, and seeing as HBO Max's big movie drops (like those I've listed above) have happened on Fridays, I think that's a pretty compelling guess. Of course, I'll just stress once more that this is purely speculation, as we do not have a confirmed "Superman" streaming date at the time of writing. Plus, if the movie proves to be a box office smash, there's always the chance it remains in theaters a little longer. As soon as we hear anything about the streaming future of "Superman," we'll be sure to share that info here.

Superman cost Warner Bros. and DC Studios $225 million USD to produce, and another $100 million USD for promotion. 'This is an outstanding domestic opening. If there's any softness here, it's overseas,' David A. Gross of FranchiseRe said. 'Superman has always been identified as an American character, and in some parts of the world, America is currently not enjoying its greatest popularity.' 'Three years ago, I hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to reimagine and unify the creative direction of DC under one leadership team,' said David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement. 'The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.'
