While updates on James Gunn’s ‘Superman: Legacy’ have slowed since filming wrapped over a month ago, an exciting reveal recently came from a surprising source. During an episode of the ‘Capes and Lunatics’ podcast, renowned DC comic writer Mark Waid shared that Krypto, the super-powered dog, will appear in the highly anticipated 2025 DCU film. 

Waid, known for his work on ‘Batman/Superman: World’s Finest’ and the iconic ‘Kingdom Come’ series, praised Gunn’s approach to storytelling, revealing that Krypto will be a part of the upcoming movie. He humorously noted, “The movie has a dog in it, a superpowered dog with heat vision.”
