Superdog Krypto To Make His First Live-Action Debut In James Gunn's 'Superman'

Krypto, the superpowered dog from Superman’s home planet Krypton, has appeared in numerous animated DC films but has yet to make an appearance in a live-action movie.

Director James Gunn announced on Tuesday that Krypto the Superdog will feature in his upcoming ‘Superman’ movie, coinciding with October’s Adopt a Shelter Dog month, according to Variety.

“Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer,” Gunn wrote. “Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least,” Gunn said.

“He immediately came in and destroyed our home, 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 difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’ – and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life. What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog month. Btw, Ozu today, is, fairly often, a very good boy.”

Krypto, the superpowered dog from Superman’s home planet Krypton, has appeared in numerous animated DC films but has yet to make an appearance in a live-action movie. He is set to make his live-action debut alongside David Corenswet’s Superman in Gunn’s film next summer, before joining Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El in “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” directed by Craig Gillespie, which is scheduled for release in June 2026.
