BURBANK, Calif.—Amid growing studio interest in Web3 experiences, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that it is working with content blockchain provider Eluvio to release the Superman Web3 Movie Experience on June 9.
The release of Superman Web3 Movie Experience follows the 2022 first-of-its-kind Web3 entertainment offering The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) Web3 Movie Experience.
The Superman Web3 Movie Experience is available for preview at https://web3.wb.com and opening for purchase on June 9.
The studio explained that the Superman Web3 Movie Experience is a multimedia NFT that allows fans to own and to engage with the 1978 Richard Donner film starring Christopher Reeves. Through dynamic menu options based on iconic locations from the film, owners can watch the film in 4K UHD on desktop, mobile, tablet or TV, access special features, view image galleries and artist renderings by notable DC artists, discover digital easter eggs, as well as sell the experience in a community marketplace.

Each variation includes an interactive and explorable location-based navigation menu and 3 versions of the feature film – Superman: The Movie Theatrical Version; Superman: The Movie Expanded Director’s Cut; and Superman: The Movie Extended TV Edition - along with previously-released special features, and image galleries featuring costume and detail images from the Warner Bros. Archive and stills and behind the scenes galleries.
