Superman’s dog Krypto has been a Superman Family mainstay since his introduction in 1955. The white shepherd has appeared in numerous television series and films, such as Smallville (though renamed Shelby), the live-action HBO Max series Titans, and 2022’s DC League of Super-Pets animated film. It was announced back in September that the canine companion will make his live-action cinematic debut in the upcoming film Superman, and director James Gunn finally gave fans our first look.
Taking to his socials, Gunn shared a photo of Superman actor David Corenswet sitting alongside a white dog in space, watching the Earth rotate. Gunn shared a story about Krypto and how the film’s dog was based in part on his own.
