Motion Pictures, HBO, CNN Films and Max. “Everyone at Warner Bros. Discovery is incredibly proud to come together as one company to partner with Christopher Reeve’s family and the filmmakers behind ‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’ and bring his personal journey to audiences the world over,” a WBD spokesperson said in a statement. “WBD’s DC Studios, Warner Bros.

The film features extensive archive footage of Christopher Reeve along with interviews from family members and others in his inner circle. “You might think you know Superman, or the advocate, or whatever version of Christopher Reeve you think you know, but then you get to see him as a dad,” Will Reeve, Christopher Reeve’s youngest son, said at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait

As it stands there is still no definitive date that ‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’ will release to the public, but it is expected to have both a theatrical and home viewing release window.
