The highly anticipated teaser for James Gunn’s Superman was finally unveiled on Thursday evening, and has kept fans on social media buzzing. While David Corenswet as the new Clark Kent aka Superman is undoubtedly exciting, there’s another star stealing the show, Krypto the Superdog!
The teaser, spanning 2 minutes and 19 seconds, has left fans with plenty to dissect. Alongside introducing David as Superman, the teaser teases cameos that have fans buzzing. From the scheming Lex Luthor to the quirky Guy Gardner (a Green Lantern), each character adds depth to Superman’s world. Notable appearances include the fierce Hawkgirl, shape-shifting Metamorpho, tech-savvy Engineer, and genius inventor Mister Terrific, hinting at a broader DC universe. Yet, it’s the adorable furry sidekick, Krypto, who has fans losing their minds.
Krypto’s Heroic Moment
About a minute into the teaser, there’s a powerful, emotional scene. Superman, battered and bloodied, lies on the snow, clearly exhausted from an intense battle. He whistles faintly, and within seconds, the winds pick up as a storm brews in the distance. Suddenly, Krypto, donning his very own cape, races to the rescue. The sight of this loyal superhero bounding through the snow has melted hearts everywhere.
Krypto’s brief yet impactful appearance has already made him a fan favorite. Whether it’s his heroic stance or the sheer adorableness of a superpowered pup, he’s proving hard to ignore.
Fans React to Krypto
Social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), has exploded with posts about Krypto. Fans can’t stop gushing over his cuteness and heroics.
• “Krypto the very good boy!!! #SupermanMovie,”
• Another admitted, “LOOK MY BOY KRYPTO! I was talking st cause I don’t fw Superman like that but this looks fun as fk! #SupermanMovie"
The love doesn’t stop there. A Spanish-speaking fan wrote, “I love you Krypto, the best part of the teaser trailer damn,” adding crying emojis to emphasize their emotions. Another thrilled viewer declared, “KRYPTO IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE,” while a die-hard DC fan went as far as calling Krypto the “highlight” of the teaser.
Notably, Gunn’s notion to onboard Krypto into the live-action DC universe seems to have paid off! Fans are not only excited to see Superman in action but are equally hyped to see if his four-legged partner can steal the show.
Who is Krypto?
For those unfamiliar, Krypto the Superdog is a beloved superhero from the DC universe. He first appeared in comic books as Superman’s loyal canine companion and has been a fan favorite ever since. While Krypto was voiced by Dwayne Johnson in the animated movie DC League of Super-Pets (2022), this marks his first-ever appearance in a live-action format.
James Gunn recently shared the heartwarming inspiration behind Krypto’s inclusion in the movie. In an October Instagram post, Gunn revealed that Krypto’s character was inspired by his own dog, Ozu.
A Perfect Addition to Superman’s World
The addition of Krypto adds a heartfelt layer to Gunn’s vision for Superman, blending epic superhero action with emotional, relatable moments. Fans are already eagerly awaiting more glimpses of Krypto’s adventures alongside Superman.
With the trailer already garnering massive attention, it’s safe to say that Krypto has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, and he’s just getting started!
