“Take me home,” he says later in the trailer to Krypto, who puts Superman’s famous red cape in his mouth and drags him through the snowy landscape.

There’s only one other line of dialogue in the entire trailer: a little boy holding a homemade Superman flag and whispering the hero’s name.

A rendition of John Williams’ classic Superman theme serves as the trailer’s soundtrack, underscoring the hopeful nostalgia theme of the teaser.

The trailer also revealed a number of other characters, including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi’s Mr. Terrific.

But rumors on social media suggest that Krypto is the character many fans are most excited to see appear on screen (and in the skies).

“I’m completely crazy saying this, but Krypto the Dog is the only reason I’m watching the #Superman movie,” one person said on X.

“I’m sorry, but I’m switching to crypto. “I’m all about NFTs now: cute fluffy terriers,” one fan wrote on BlueSky.

“We must protect crypto at all costs,” warned another on X.

While most other aspects of the trailer remained faithful to the comics, Gunn appears to have deviated a bit from Krypto’s casting, opting to portray the dog as more unkempt and unkempt than in the polished comic version.

In October, the writer-director revealed that his idea for Krypto was inspired by his own dog, Ozu, who he said came from a backyard kennel with 60 other dogs and never knew people.
