Here’s the first look at Krypto the Superdog from James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film

Gunn wrote, “Krypto will be on screen this summer in Superman.” “Crypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after we started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a backyard hoarding situation with 60 other dogs and never knew humans, at least this It was problematic to say the least,” Gunn said.

“He immediately came in and destroyed our house, our shoes, our furniture – he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before she even let us touch her. I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, how hard would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’ – And so crypto came into the script and changed the shape of the story just as Ozu was changing my life. What better time than #AdoptAShelterDog month to introduce non-good-guy crypto. By the way, Ozu today is, often, a very nice guy.”

Krypto, a superpowered dog from Superman’s home planet Krypton, has appeared in dozens of animated DC films, but has never appeared in a live-action film. He’ll make his Gunn film debut next summer alongside David Corenswet’s Man of Steel, before joining Millie Alcock’s Kara Zor-El in director Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow in June 2026.
