Krypto the superdog will also be part of Superman: Legacy, the James Gunn movie that will restart the EUDC

In a couple of years the DC Extended Universe will start its new facelift with Superman: Legacy, the next movie from James Gunn following his last foray into Marvel with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Its plot will present us Superman’s struggle to reconcile Clark Kent’s human side with his biological family’s Kryptonian heritage.

As its official synopsis indicates, Superman “is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as passé”.

Superman’s mascot will also be present in the film

Little by little, James Gunn has been revealing some interesting details about the film that will kick off the new DC Extended Universe that he will make with Peter Safran.

Although a few weeks ago he revealed that Jimmy Olsen will be present in the film, now the filmmaker has confirmed that Krypto the superdog will also appear in Superman: Legacy.

In a recent interview for Toronto SunJames Gunn was promoting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 alongside Chris Pratt, but that hasn’t stopped the director from talking a bit about his next project in the new DC Extended Universe.

At one point, the director told Chris Pratt that he hoped he could cast him as Krypto the superdog in Superman: Legacyalleging that “You could do motion capture on set and walk on your hands and knees, but you can’t talk”.

Pratt played along by saying that he will play Krypto in exchange for being paid in crypto. “I will pay you in cryptocurrency, which equals zero dollars”the director replied between laughs.

Even though they were joking, It seems that the thing about Krypto appearing in Superman: Legacy was serious by giving Gunn to understand that “it’s a scoop, I guess”.

Superman: Legacy will be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.. Do you want to see the movie that will kick off the new DC Extended Universe by James Gunn and Peter Safran?
