New Superman Statue Shows Off Corenswet’s Man of Steel with Super-Pup Krypto

by

At Mumbai Comic Con this weekend, fans of comics and movies have an exciting opportunity: they can pose for pictures with replicas or statues of Superman and Krypto the Super Dog… since the highly-anticipated movie “Superman” in 2025 is being helmed by director James Gunn. He aims to breathe new life into the original superhero, emphasizing the character’s inherent kindness and exploring more fantastical elements like Krypto the Super Dog. The film is considered a key launch for Gunn’s extensive DCU vision, a connected cinematic universe, so its success is crucial.

At Mumbai Comic Con, happening from April 12th to 13th, you’ll find a massive replica of David Corenswet as Superman and his canine companion, Krypto, courtesy of Warner Bros. Discovery Zone. Warner Bros. India has given us a sneak peek at this statue on their social media account. This impressive figure offers another stunning view of Superman’s vibrant suit and an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the trailer’s standout character, Krypto. Check out the image below for a closer look:

Summer of ‘Superman’ is About to Kick Off

Warner Bros. is gearing up for a large-scale marketing push for the upcoming film, Superman, akin to their promotional efforts for Barbie. The 18th of April, 2025, has been marked as Superman Day, starting with the premiere of a new trailer that is expected to be screened before Warner Bros.’ latest blockbuster movie, Sinners. This will initiate what’s being referred to as the “Summer of Superman,” a publishing project at DC Comics that involves a wave of fresh Superman comics. Keep an eye out for more connections and advertisements related to Superman during the summer movie season.

Regarding the new Superman movie, there’s a significant group of viewers who remain staunchly loyal to Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman, and they aren’t thrilled about this statue. They’ve been expressing criticism and ridicule towards it as a sign of the film’s potential quality. The five-minute exclusive sneak peek of Superman that premiered at Cinema Con and was later released by Warner Bros. has been labeled as divisive, despite generally positive feedback. Those who have already decided to dislike Superman without seeing any footage are unlikely to be won over – at least not openly.

2025 could see Superman, along with Krypto and other DC characters, providing a refreshing change from the often grim offerings of many movies. At events like Mumbai Comic Con, promotional displays such as the statue align perfectly with the film’s trailer, promising an exciting, vibrant cinematic experience filled with engaging characters that bring a touch of fantasy to our lives. In a summer blockbuster season featuring films like The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Lilo & Stitch, and Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman could be the standout choice for audiences seeking an escape from reality.
