Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection Revealed

Superman 5-Movie 4K Collection Box Set Gets Release Date, Special Features

UPDATE: The street date has been moved to May 9.


Warner Bros. Studio is bundling together five movies featuring one of the most iconic DC superheroes ever, Superman, into a 4K Ultra HD collection.

The Superman bundle is set to release on April 18, 2023, and will contain five of the characters’ most popular films — Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III, and Superman IV — into a collection that includes both 4K Ultra HD versions of the films as well as digital copies.

All five films see Christopher Reeve star in the role of Superman, a portrayal that many to this day believe is the best Superman portrayal to ever appear on the big screen.

Each film will come packaged with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the films in 4K with HDR, a Blu-ray disc with the films and special features in HD, and a digital version of the film. The Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection will retail for $99.99, and will be available in-store and available for purchase digitally from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and other streaming platforms.
