SUPERMAN: We Now Know When The Next "Sneak Preview" For The DCU Movie Will Be Released

Exciting news today as we have some official word on when the next Superman sneak peek will drop and we're pleased to report that there's not too long to wait! You can find more details right here...

It hasn't even been a month since the first teaser trailer for Superman was released, but we already have news on when the next sneak peek will swoop online. 

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery is bringing back "The Puppy Bowl" for the 21st time this year. The event will have DC Studios co-CEO and Superman director James Gunn on hand alongside his dog Ozu, the inspiration for Krypto in the DCU movie. 

According to the trade, "Gunn will introduce a sneak preview of Superman and deliver a 'special message' to viewers. In addition, one pup participating in the game will be awarded the 'Krypto Super Play' award."

The Puppy Bowl was introduced as a means of counter-programming the Super Bowl - 2024's effort received a reported 12.6 million viewers - and has become extremely popular among dog lovers. For those of you who aren't aware, it features puppies playing their version of the Big Game and raises awareness for adoption.

This year's effort takes place on February 9. 

"Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl serves as an annual pop culture programming event that continues to expand in reach, awareness and of course, puppies, every year," Howard Lee, chief creative officer of U.S. networks and president of Discovery Networks said in a statement. "Win or lose, Puppy Bowl XXI will have the cutest players in the game on Sunday, February 9 and will inspire families across the country to adopt a new furry friend."

Does this mean we won't get a Super Bowl trailer for Superman? If Warner Bros. has decided against forking out for a pricey 30-second preview to instead air this teaser - which, online, will generate just as much attention as one showing during the Big Game - then it's a smart business move.

Yes, the Super Bowl will be seen by a much bigger audience but with the teaser already breaking viewership records, WBD (and DC Studios) might decide such a big marketing spend is unnecessary. Or we could get both. We'll have to wait and see.

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. 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.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Also appearing are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. 

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.

Dear God,

With the hype around the dog, you will think Gunn is more excited about Krypto than he is about Superman.

I dont know how promotion with the dog will get people excited or maybe draw in dog lovers, [frick]ing hell I dont know.

Gunn just frustrates me with all his antics.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing some action instead of photos.


For [frick]s sake.

@THEKENDOMAN - Goose the cat was pretty popular in the lead up to Captain Marvel back in 2019, so don't underestimate the ability of a cute pet to bring in people to the theaters.

@THEKENDOMAN - dogs are badass and the sells of plushies of this one will outweight the tickets sale enough to pay for the sequel...its not that complex.

@TheJok3r - I'm pretty sure people were not going to see Captain Marvel because of that cat....LMAO!

@Malatrova15 - You guys, I'm not saying dogs are not badass, I'm saying the movie is called Superman and not Superman & Krypto.
Asterisk
Asterisk - 1/10/2025, 2:26 PM
@THEKENDOMAN - but Krypto is a big part of Superman’s mythology and has never been in a movie before? Must his name literally be in the title? What’s the complaint here?

@THEKENDOMAN - It's a shame... I want this to be a success due to my love of Superman, but I have no reason to believe this will be not only a Superman-focused story, but a faithful one. Save only for a few great shots with him and Lois (minus the awful suit).

The movie looks bloated with characters and the marketing is now focusing on one of the corniest creations of the the characters history (which was technically Superboy).

@DrDReturns - My frustration you explained differently. Thank you.

Like I said, it’s Gunn and his antics.

But all we can do is still keep the faith.

And to be honest, Gunn hasn’t disappointed me when it comes to his movies, hell, even the Belko Experiment he produced was fun.

I just think this DC role has got to his head and everything revolves around how he feels and what he wants, which is, he wants everyone to like him so hell say and do anything to get them to.

Let’s see how it goes, mate.

Stay strong👊🏿

@Malatrova15 - I appreciate nature and the creatures in nature. I appreciate the cuteness and intelligence in animals. But I will never understand dog and cat lovers who weigh these creatures higher than a human life.

Rocket, Cosmo, Weasel, Kyrpto. I'm starting to think Gunn might be an animal lover.

@HammerLegFoot - And he wrote 2002's Scooby Doo, as well it's sequel. I think Gunn has always liked giving animals a voice and personality of their own.

@Asterisk - I love "A boy and his dog" type of stories. Heartwarming.

However, personally, I just want less of that Silver Age camp.

So glad Krypto is in this one.

This is the last Gunn movie that doesnt includes Pablo Lyle
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/10/2025, 1:28 PM
Cool!!.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this sneak peak is something Krypto related then another proper look at the film itself (even though I would prefer the latter) given when it’s being shown.
