17 Oct - DC's James Gunn continues to get Superman fans excited by revealing that the superhero trusty canine sidekick Krypto the Superdog will be a part of the upcoming movie as well.


Sharing the first photo of Krypto, the filmmaker expressed, "Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman."

"Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, "Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?" - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life," he expressed.

This marks the first time that Krypto is featured in a live-action Superman movie, after appearing in dozens of DC animated films including the 2022 movie, "DC League of Super-Pets", voiced by Dwayne Johnson.

Superman is scheduled to be released theatrically on 11 July 2025.
