James Gunn's Superman rockets up the Prime Video charts days before Supergirl lands

Superman is suddenly hot again on Prime Video, right as Supergirl is about to blast off. Funny how a new cape on the big screen can make everyone circle back to the last one.

Superman flies back up the charts

Just days before Supergirl's June 26 worldwide premiere, James Gunn 's Superman (2025 ) has climbed back into Prime Video's U.S. top 10. Call it a refresher course: people are revisiting the movie that reset the DCU timeline and reintroduced the Man of Steel with David Corenswet as Kal-El at the center.

Where Supergirl picks up the baton

Supergirl is the next major chapter in Gunn's revamped DCU, and it is not shy about going big. Think high-energy, space- faring adventure. It expands Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters and brings in Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El — the reboot's first female lead and the franchise 's new Girl of Steel. The film follows directly after the events of Superman, pushing this thing further into a broader, more tightly connected saga.

• Superman (2025) has re-entered Prime Video's U.S. top 10 most-streamed titles.
• The spike lands right before Supergirl's June 26 worldwide premiere.
• Supergirl is a space-faring adventure expanding Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
• Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El, the DCU reboot's first female lead.
• Supergirl picks up directly after Superman and continues the new continuity.
• David Corenswet's Kal-El anchors the reboot that Superman used to relaunch the DCU.

Short version: the original tentpole that kicked off this reboot is surging again, and the timing tracks. If you're planning to watch Kara Zor-El tear across the cosmos, a quick Prime Video pit stop with Superman is an easy warm-up.
