Recently, James Gunn confirmed, although somewhat jokingly, how fans can anticipate Krypto the Superdog in the upcoming Superman: Legacy film. Gunn was in an interview with Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 star Chris Pratt discussing how the two made peace by saying goodbye during an interview with the Toronto Sun. Both men started making light of the situation, but Pratt explained, “We still have a long life ahead of us, so maybe we’ll work together again…” And it was then Gunn chimed in, saying, “I was hoping I could cast you as Krypto the Superdog (in Superman: Legacy). You could do motion capture on set and walk around on your hands and knees, but you can’t talk.” 

Pratt perked up to the idea saying, “I’ll do Krypto, but you have to pay me in crypto.” Then Pratt commented, “It sounds like there’s going to be a character called Krypto in Superman-breaking news,” Gunn replied, “It is a scoop, I guess.” Oddly, this hasn’t been the only instance Gunn mentioned seeing Krypto in the new DC Universe. Gunn was interviewed by Rolling Stone and was asked if he was interested in bringing Superman’s dog to the big screen due to the monumental popularity of Rocket Racoon in the Guardians films. Gunn responded, saying, I think I would have an interest in a live-action Krypto whether or not I had anything to do with Rocket.”

Fans aren’t sure how serious Gunn’s comments are; however, if Krypto were to appear in Superman: Legacy, it would be the first time the Kryptonian canine makes a live-action appearance. Superman’s four-legged pal did have a lead role in Dwayne Johnson’s DC League of Super-Pets. 

Superman: Legacy is scheduled to debut in theatres on July 11, 2025.
