‘Superman’: watch Krypto rescue the Man of Steel in a new five-minute clip

4 April, 2025

DC Studios has unveiled a new clip of James Gunn‘s upcoming Superman film – check it out below.

The five-minute clip debuted last night (April 3) via DC Studios’ official YouTube and social media channels. In the clip, we see Superman/Kal-El plummeting into the Arctic, damaged and bruised.

Superman – portrayed by David Corenswet – whistles for Krypto the Superdog to rescue him. The playful super-powered pup mistakenly pounces onto Supes, leaving him crying and writhing in pain. After Krypto calms down, the Man of Steel instructs him to take them home (the Fortress of Solitude).

Superman is then attended to by a number of hyper-intelligent Kryptonian robots, who nurse him back to health – he’s shown to have numerous broken bones and damage to core organs – by basking him in yellow sunlight.

The clip then ends with several shots of Superman/Clark Kent in action throughout several phases of the film.

The new clip follows the first trailer, which came out in December and showed Krypto the Superdog in live-action for the first time, and a second teaser in January. The teaser was met with mixed reception, prompting Gunn to fire back at unhappy fans claiming Corenswet’s face had been altered with CGI: “There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People’s faces can look different when you put a wide-angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real as is David.”

Superman is set for release on July 11, and the reboot of the iconic series is set to become the first movie in the DC Universe (DCU), a soft reboot of the old DC Extended Universe which will have a united continuity across all works. It’ll be followed next year by Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow and Clayface.

Alongside Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan plays his love interest Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced all feature too. Jack Quaid, meanwhile, said last year that he auditioned for the title role, admitting: “I didn’t get very far.”
