DC has just given fans a special treat — a five-minute sneak peek of the upcoming Superman movie directed by James Gunn. And while Superman may be the main hero, it’s his loyal dog Krypto who’s getting all the attention in this new footage.
This is not just any regular dog. Krypto the Superdog is brave, fast, and full of energy. In the preview, we get to see him in action, helping a weak and wounded Superman in the middle of a snowy scene. This part of the movie was already shown briefly in the first trailer, but now we get to see much more. The scene picks up with Superman at his lowest, hurt and in trouble. He whistles, and out of nowhere, a blur moves through the snow — it’s Krypto! He rushes in, grabs Superman by the cape, and drags him all the way to safety.
Where do they go? To the Fortress of Solitude — Superman’s secret base.
A Dog With Superpowers — and a Lot of Personality
What makes this clip even more fun is that Krypto acts just like a normal dog. He jumps on Superman, plays with him, and brings in some light-hearted moments. Instead of being too serious or following Superman’s orders all the time, Krypto’s playful side makes their bond feel real and warm. For a character like Superman — who is often seen as serious and god-like — this kind of connection helps audiences feel closer to him.
The preview also gives us a look at some never-seen-before ideas in the DC live-action universe. One standout scene shows Superman getting healed using a giant magnifying glass inside the Fortress of Solitude. It’s a fresh idea, and fans are already talking about how cool it looks.
Another fun moment? There’s a robot helper in the fortress, and fans think the voice behind it might be actor Alan Tudyk.
A Fresh Start for DC Movies
This sneak peek has definitely raised excitement for the movie. The early reactions are positive, and people are praising James Gunn for bringing a new vibe to Superman. Including a character like Krypto adds a fun, emotional side that many fans were not expecting — but are loving.
With DC planning to rebuild its movie universe, this could be a strong first step. The mix of action, heart, and humor seems to be working well.
Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025 — and if this preview is anything to go by, both Superman and Krypto are ready to win hearts.
