James Gunn's 'Superman' Film to Feature Krypto the Superdog

Director James Gunn reveals Krypto's live-action debut, inspired by his own rescue dog, in the upcoming 2025 Superman movie.

Krypto the Superdog will make his first live-action appearance in the new Superman film, set for release on July 11, 2025.
The character of Krypto is inspired by Gunn's dog Ozu, who was adopted from a challenging background and significantly influenced the film's script.
James Gunn shared the first image of Krypto, depicted alongside Superman on the moon, in homage to the comic book All-Star Superman.
The film, initially titled 'Superman: Legacy,' stars David Corenswet as Superman, with a cast including Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and Isabela Merced.
Krypto's inclusion signals a shift towards a lighter tone in the Superman narrative, moving away from the darker themes of previous adaptations.
