James Gunn has given a first look at Superman's Krypto the Superdog.

Superman is set to hit theaters in July 2025. The film, directed by Gunn, is the first official feature film to be part of the upcoming DCU.

Gunn has now shared a first look at Clark Kent's super-powered dog, Krypto. Created by Otto Binder and Curt Swan, Krypto first appeared in DC Comics in 1955's Adventure Comics #210. Like Superman, Krypto is Kryptonian and possesses powers similar to those of the Man of Steel.

“Krypto will be on screen this summer in Superman. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman,” Gunn wrote. “Ozu, who came from a backyard hamster situation with 60 other dogs and never knew humans, was problematic to say the least. He immediately took to our homes and trashed 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 hard would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’ — and that’s how Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu changed my life. What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog month. Besides, Ozu is, quite often, a very good boy these days.”
