“Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least,” Gunn wrote onTwitter.
Superman, written and directed by Gunn, follows a younger Superman (David Corenswet) as he embarks on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent. The film marks the first feature-length project in Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU – titledChapter One: Gods and Monsters.
