James Gunn has directed ten films from 1996 to 2025, and on October 12, 2026, nine of them were streaming with a US subscription, three were free with ads somewhere, and nine could be rented or bought digitally. The table covers every one, from Tromeo & Juliet to Superman, with the services carrying it on that date.
Licensing deals move films between services all the time, so each title links to its JustWatch page, which tracks US availability daily. All figures here come from one check run on October 12, 2026.
Where to stream James Gunn movies: the full list
The list follows the directing credits on Gunn’s Rotten Tomatoes filmography. Two of the credits are shared, and one is a special. Rotten Tomatoes lists both Gunn and Lloyd Kaufman as directors of Tromeo & Juliet, while JustWatch credits Lloyd Kaufman alone. Movie 43 is an anthology, and JustWatch lists 11 other directors alongside him. Rotten Tomatoes lists The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special with a 44-minute runtime and a streaming release date (November 25, 2022) rather than a theatrical one. Rotten Tomatoes also lists Man of Tomorrow for 2027; it is not out yet, so it is not counted, and his TV series work, including Peacemaker, is left out. Live-TV bundles and disc sellers are excluded; “Rent or buy” lists the main digital stores.
