James Gunn"s Latest Superman Announcement Has Me Even More Excited For The DCU"s Debut Film
Superman is already one of my most anticipated films of 2025, but James Gunn"s latest announcement excites me even more. DC is coming off a bad stretch of box office flops, including The Flash and Joker: Folie à Deux. Despite all of that, anticipation for Superman is high. The film will launch the DCU, which will hopefully have better results than the DCEU timeline and its awkward conclusion, and is directed by Gunn, who has an excellent track record with comic book movies, including The Suicide Squad and the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
The upcoming Superman movie has plenty of pressure on it, but all the announcements and early set photos prove it should be great. Superman has a great cast, including David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and an exciting roster of DC characters, like Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner, and Mister Terrific. While no footage or story details have been shared, Gunn"s latest announcement provides even more reason why this film will launch the DCU on a high note.
Krypto The Superdog's Superman Debut Sets A Promising Precedent For The DCU Close Gunn recently shared an image on his social media of Superman overlooking the Earth, accompanied by his best friend, Krypto the Superdog, confirming the powerful canine will appear in the film. In his post on X, Gunn revealed the touching inspiration behind Krypto, saying he"s based on his dog, Ozu, who he adopted shortly after starting writing Superman. The director thought to himself how difficult Ozu would be if he had superpowers and "thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story."
Krypto is an exciting addition to the DCU because he"s rarely used in live-action Superman projects. He did appear in the CW"s Smallville and Max"s Titans, but never in a live-action film. However, Krypto has been used frequently in animated projects. He had a starring role in 2022"s DC League of Super-Pets and had his own Cartoon Network series that aired from 2006-2007. Krypto is a more obscure DC character, so it"s good to see Gunn embracing characters from the deeper parts of DC lore.
James Gunn Knows How To Make Audiences Fall In Love With Obscure Characters Close Gunn has a talent for bringing together a group of oddball characters and making audiences fall in love with them. Casual audiences did not know who the Guardians of the Galaxy were before the 2014 film, and now they are some of the most popular MCU characters. His comic book films also have cute characters that make audiences laugh and cry, despite how goofy they might be on some levels. Figures like Groot, King Shark, and Cosmo the Spacedog could be too silly in the hands of a lesser director.
However, Gunn knows the exact traits of these characters to highlight and how to give them surprising character arcs despite their limited dialogue. It"s hard to make anyone dislike a dog, and I know Krypto will improve 2025"s Superman by giving Kal-El an adorable friend who can also fight crime. Superman has so much potential, and I"m excited to see how Gunn kicks off the DCU.
