Ahead of what is thought to be the upcoming Superman trailer release, James Gunn shows off a first look at Krypto the Super Dog with David Corenswet as the Man of Steel.
The pair are seen standing on the moon looking at the Earth.
“Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer,” Gunn posted on social media. “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.”
Gunn continued, “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. What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than AdoptaShelterDog month. Btw, Ozu today, is, fairly often, a very good boy.”
Superman gets released on July 11, 2025 also starring Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as batman.
It’s also thought Krypto will go on to be featured in the Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock. The comic book story sees Supergirl get involved in a young girl’s quest for revenge when the villain hurts Krytpo.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow lands June 26, 2026 also starring Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills.
