The highly anticipated reboot of DC Comics’ Superman franchise features the first big-screen appearance of the superdog Krypto.
The new trailer for the film marks the big screen debut of Superman’s four-legged super-pooch, and if social media reaction is any indicator, Krypto looks certain to steal the show when the film is released next July.In the trailer, Superman, played by David Corenswet, is seen injured on a snow drift, and is rescued by Krypto, who arrives on the scene faster than a speeding bullet.
Krypto was first introduced in the comic books as a companion to Superboy – the teenaged version of Superman – in 1955. The Kryptonian pooch has also been seen over the years in the television seriesIn a pre-release press conference, Gunn said the trailer’s glimpse of Krypto is “a sort of simple version of Krypto, and in the movie you will realise his relationship with Krypto is much more complicated”. In other interviews Gunn has described Krypto as a “not-so-good good boy”.
Of the decision to restore the iconic John Williams music suite to the film, Gunn said he instructed British composer John Murphy to “turn it into that will represent this film and this story”.“There’s a very powerful thing about it,” Gunn said. “There’s also a slight melancholy thing about it, and I think those are both parts of this very emotional and touching story that we’re telling through the movie.
The trailer features the words “look up”, a reference to one of the historic phrases associated with the character: “Look up, there in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane it’s ... Superman!” In addition to 31-year-old Corenswet in the dual role of Superman and Clark Kent, the film also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as villain Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Luthor’s sidekick Miss Teschmacher, and Australian actress Milly Alcock as Superman’s cousin, Supergirl.The film will also feature other heroes from the DC Comics universe, including Metamorpho , Green Lantern and Hawkgirl .
