James Gunn’s Superman Brings Krypto to the Puppy Bowl!

by

This year will see the release of the DCU reboot helmed by both writer and director James Gunn, who’s now transitioning from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the DC universe. In this new comic book movie series, Gunn takes charge as he steers the ship. Despite the absence of the iconic superhero at this year’s Super Bowl, the film cleverly leveraged an equally significant event: the Puppy Bowl.

James Gunn pens and directs the movie titled “Superman,” with David Corenswet playing both Superman and Clark Kent. Rachel Brosnahan is cast as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult takes on Lex Luthor, while Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell round out the impressive cast. This film also stars actors from popular series such as “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “For All Mankind,” “Barry,” “Gotham,” “Alien: Romulus,” “Licorice Pizza,” “Booksmart,” “At Midnight,” “The Moodys,” “Selma,” “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “Andor,” “Bird Box,” and “Greedy People.

The first feature film from DC Studios featuring Superman is about to fly into cinemas globally this summer, courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. In his distinct manner, director James Gunn reinterprets the classic superhero within a freshly envisioned DC universe. Combining grand action sequences, humor, and emotional depth, the new Superman embodies compassion and faith in human kindness, making him an unforgettable character.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my excitement over how James Gunn has reimagined the original superhero in the DC universe, seamlessly combining grand action sequences, witty humor, and heartfelt moments. In this fresh take, Superman emerges as a hero driven by compassion and an unwavering faith in humanity’s inherent goodness.

Krypto the Superdog Will Make His Big Screen Debut in ‘Superman’

Apart from unveiling a younger iteration of the Steel Man, or Superman, it’s also exciting to announce that his faithful companion, Krypto the Superdog, will make his big-screen debut. Originally appearing on the brink of comic book’s Golden Age, Krypto first graced the pages of “Adventure Comics” issue #210 in 1955. This iconic canine character was brought to life by writer Otto Binder and artist Curt Swan. Over time, Krypto has had various backstories, ranging from hailing from a different universe to being the result of an attempt to clone Superman. In preparation for Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XXI, Gunn shared a special message along with his own dog Ozu, who served as the inspiration for Krypto.

In essence, this film isn’t primarily about power; instead, it delves into the complexities of a character, exploring his personal identity and daily struggles. The opening scene introduces a different side of him, and his bond with Krypto, while strong, is far from straightforward. It’s important to note that Krypto is not portrayed as an exceptional dog in this narrative.

Gunn hinted that there’s more to Krypto being included than just enjoying time with Superman’s best dog, and we’ll need to be patient to find out what that means for the film. As one of the reasons this Superman portrayal is unique, it marks a significant step in DC’s history as the first live-action version of Krypto.
