SUPERMAN: New Official Still Features The Man Of Steel And Krypto In The Fortress Of Solitude

We have a new promo still for James Gunn's Superman here, and it gives us another look at David Corenswet's Man of Steel and Krypto the Super-Dog in the Fortress of Solitude...

James Gunn recently hinted that a full trailer for Superman will be released fairly soon, but in the meantime, Screen Rant has shared a new official still featuring David Corenswet's Man of Steel and Krypto in the Fortress of Solitude.

It doesn't look like Supes is too happy with the rambunctious pooch here, and Gunn has previously noted that this take on the classic DC Comics super-pet is not exactly a good boy.

"His relationship with Krypto is complicated," the filmmaker said when the first teaser was released. "He’s not nearly the best dog. There’s a lot more to Krypto than you see in this trailer. You'll see in the movie that Krypto probably comes off as a better dog in the trailer than he is in the movie. Pretty terrible dog! You love him because he's a dog and how can you not? And he's got the cute, innocent eyes, but he's a terrible dog."

Yeah, he totally trashed the Fortress right before this scene.

Check out the new image at the link below.

Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted earlier this year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out an updated synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

Soliture... James Gunn just has to be different.

@IAmAHoot - It's "solitude" of course, but otherwise good point.
I always believed the FOS was someplace Supes could be ALONE, thus the name; a retreat from the puny mortal world.

Hanging out with your super dog and a bunch of droids is hardly "solitude".

You had ONE job Gunn! 😑😜

Including Krypto is oddly enough one of the things I'm most apprehensive about with this movie.

I'm just hoping it doesn't come across as too goofy, I know there's going to be some comedic relief with Krypto, but there's a fine line to balance before things tip into "overdone" territory and Gunn isn't always the best judge of where that line is.

We can tell already he's "terrible" after the preview clip that was shared a month ago, it gets too excited and rather first play than help. And doesn't measure it's own strength due to it's own excitement.

Can't fault much for an accurate take of how a dog sometimes acts.

He's probably telling him to stay put there and not follow him, so that scene must take place before he's injured.

@NinnesMBC - yeah , this Krypto being an overexcited or overeager dog seems fun!!.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 5/9/2025, 6:17 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Both descriptions fit Krypto in this take yeah. It's not really ill-intended but it can't help itself. I guess the idea is that across the films it will gradually learn to actually behave and listen to intructions while not losing his overeagerness.

TheVisionary25 - 5/9/2025, 6:22 PM
@NinnesMBC - I could see that.

@TheVisionary25 - As an actual character it should grow as well if it's gonna appear in his and Supergirl's films. And maybe from a "profitable" POV they will include it in order to sell more toys or whatever. It is like Groot.

The Fortress looks real pretty!!.

It looks like Superman is indeed reprimanding Krypto for likely trashing the Fortress or making a bit of a mess in there which I’m sure certain dog owners can relate to haha.

@TheVisionary25 - Can I ever. Is there pee on the floor when I come home? Is there poop on the floor when I come home? Nope. It’s been a good day. To be fair, I should probably get home at least once during the day before I go home at the end of the night. There are times when I wish that I had my ex keep him, but not most of the time.

Damn looks like a page of a comic book translated into live action. Just Supes looks kinda... small? Wish he looked bigger but hopefully this movie is a hit fingers crossed

@Huskers @DiegoMD - Yes, there has been a lot of Krypto in things that we have been shown, but I’d rather see that from things that give away too much of the movie. At least this way it’s keeping up interest.

Ngl, Im getting a bit tired of seeing so much Krypto in the marketing already (and the marketing push hasn´t even really started!)

Also I kinda dislike Krypto being a "bad dog" because we already know how it´s gonna end (like any buddy cop movie, they´re gonna help each other and end up liking each other).

This might seem weird, but I think that I prefer Krypto´s arc in Superpets. Him being jealous of Lois and having to learn to accept her and "share" Superman, seems like a way more original arc (and relatable to kids afraid of having to share mom and dad when their new brother is born) than the buddy cop by-the-numbers arc that Krypto and Superman seem to have in the movie.

Also, I would've been way less critical of this if the clip where Krypto beats Superman would´ve made me laugh (it didn´t).

As someone who was really looking forward to the DCU, because of the marketing that they´ve released, I´m pretty worried about this movie (and the larger DCU). Hoping for the best though.

@DiegoMD - Buddy cop Krypto and Superman?
You've gotta remember that Krypto ages in dog years, so it's a given he'll have this dialogue in a scene at some point:

Is there anything in this movie besides Krypto?!?! Enough with the damn dog already! Starting to feel like Super-Pets 2! 🙄

@Huskers - Lol! I don't think this movie will be for you. Krypto will be in this just as much as the "Justice Gang"

This movie looks like it's made for very young kids. The more I see the more I think about passing on it.

Somehow the suit looks even worse with every new still they release.

How do they do that?

In any case, PaddingMan should consider taking his dog to one of those dog therapists.

Man all the hate is wild. Guess I’m in the minority but this is by far my most anticipated and it ain’t even close and I’m a Marvel guy

@narrow290 - right? People need to move on from Snyder. I think GOTG provided levity to the darker MCU and I feel like Superman will do the same to the DCU.
