James Gunn’s Superman is getting a dog, and Krypto is going to be a lot like his own rescue, Ozu.
Ozu was adopted around the same time that Gunn started writing Clark Kent’s story, and the little terror was making his life interesting and inspiring his writing.
“Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture – he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before he would even let us touch him,” Gunn wrote. “I remember thinking, ‘Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’ – and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life.”
The Head of the DC Universe has chosen now to make the announcement because it is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. And you never know how that pup is going to change your life. But the one thing we do know is that it will change your life for the better.
And on that note, Ozu is a much better behaved dog!
Before Christopher Reeve lived in Metropolis as Superman, he was living in Rosehill in Love Our Life. How handsome was the 22-year-old in 1975 before he became a household name?
When James Gunn took over the DC Universe, he announced that his first film is going to be Superman.
In June, he announced that David Corenswet will be playing the title role. And production finally began in February.
All of those updates are great, but all we want to know is what Superman’s suit will look like. Today, we found out when DC’s Evil Genius shared this photo!
I just wish he was doing something more exciting than putting on his boots. I know it is not about that. It is about the thing in the background. But I am all about the costume.
James Gunn has been working on his Superman movie for over a year and a half, and today, he finally began shooting his first film as head of DC Studios.
He wrote, “Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday.
“When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025.”
I think Gunn made the right choice. And I can’t wait to see his take on the Man of Steel!
