Superman’s Director Revealed The True Reason For (Spoiler)’s Cameo In The Film, And I Didn’t Consider One ‘Touching’ Aspect

Spoilers ahead for Superman!

The long-awaited debut of the new DC Universe has officially hit movie theaters, starting off with James Gunn’s take on Superman, titled “Gods and Monsters.” Unlike traditional origin stories, co-CEO James Gunn immerses viewers into a fully developed universe populated by various DC characters beyond just Superman. One standout appearance is Milly Alcock as Supergirl. In an interview, Gunn shared his perspective on why this cameo adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the blockbuster film.

In the cinemas, Superman is doing great and audiences are scrutinizing each scene of the film. It was recently announced that Milly Alcock would play Supergirl, but in Superman, we only saw a quick, tipsy scene where she collected her dog Krypto from her cousin Clark. This amusing segment hinted at her upcoming solo movie. However, director James Gunn discussed its underlying significance with Entertainment Weekly: “… [It] has a deeper meaning.

For me, Kara’s appearance underscores the fact that Superman is not just willing to risk his life to rescue a dog that belongs to someone else, but also a dog that he finds annoying and didn’t want to look after in the first place. Despite his busy schedule of saving the world, he still goes out of his way to take care of this troublesome pet. This highlights Superman’s selflessness and devotion, even towards responsibilities he doesn’t particularly enjoy.

I’m not getting emotional, but you seem to be. During the movie “Superman,” Clark Kent’s compassion and kindness were evident, especially towards Krypto. The fact that Krypto wasn’t even his pet amplifies the touching display of selflessness and concern. Superman, being an alien from Krypton, is a friend to both humans and animals, as shown when he went out of his way to save a squirrel in the blockbuster.

HBO Max, where you’ll find the DC Universe, offers plans starting at $9.99 per month (with an Ads option). There are three different tiers to choose from after subscribing. Additionally, by pre-paying for a year, you can save up to 20%. Check out this deal!

The information available on “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is scant, but it seems likely that Krypto will steal the show again in the upcoming DC film. Previously, Krypto shared a heartwarming bond with Clark Kent, but what makes this relationship even cuter is that Krypto is actually Supergirl’s pet. In an interview, Gunn elaborated on why this aspect is crucial to the story.

For me, one of the most heartwarming aspects of the movie is when he reveals the extent of his compassion. Earlier on, Lois remarks, ‘It’s just a dog,’ to which he responds, ‘Yes, not much of one, but it seems afraid.’ This moment highlights his deep sense of empathy. I find this scene incredibly touching. Later, when we discover that the dog isn’t even his, but merely left with him by Lois, it adds another layer of emotional depth to the scene that truly tugs at my heartstrings.

Fan reactions ran strong when they discovered Lex Luthor had kidnapped Krypto during the Superman series. Fortunately, the dog was rescued due to the combined efforts of Clark, Lois, Mister Terrific, and Metamorpho. Moreover, Superman’s discussion with Louis about the dog’s disappearance served as a clear demonstration of his selfless nature.

In the movie, it wasn’t clear until the end that Krypto isn’t Clark’s dog, but rather his cousin’s. The bond between Superman and Supergirl is still unclear, but since Milly Alcock’s character Kara trusted him enough to leave her pet with him, it seems they have a close relationship.
