Brightburn, the R-rated superhero horror film produced by James Gunn, launched on Peacock in the United States on October 1, according to collider.com.
The film stars Elizabeth Banks as Tori and Jackson A. Dunn as Brandon Breyer. It presents a horror take on the Superman myth, a project Gunn produced before he later worked on Superman himself.
Why the film stands out
Rather than a conventional superhero origin, Brightburn leans into horror, applying that framework to a familiar archetype instead of a hopeful one. That combination set it apart from other superhero titles when it first arrived.
Its move to Peacock gives US subscribers a streaming option for the film, which had previously been tied to other platforms.
