James Gunn has confirmed yet another beloved DC Comics character will be making their debut in his upcoming “Superman” film.
Krypto the Superdog!
Gunn confirmed the news via his X (formerly Twitter) account, posting a video that shows actor David Corenswet, who is playing Clark Kent / Superman in the film, alongside Ozu, who is playing Krypto.
“Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman,” Gunn wrote. “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. 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“
The film will star David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicolas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olson, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Isabella Merced as Hawkgirl, María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer, Wendell Pierce as Daily Planet editor Perry White, Prutti Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern.
“Superman” is set to hit theaters July 11th, 2025.
