Superman 2025 CinemaCon footage showed Krypto in action

Superman returns to the screen this July, and he's bringing Krypto along. A sneak peek at CinemaCon showed the superdog helping Clark Kent when he's badly injured. The clip, first teased on December 19, 2024, features a weakened Clark lying in the snow, calling for help. Krypto eagerly rushes to him, playfully jumping on the Man of Steel. Clark asks him to take him home and offers his cape to be used as a sled.

Krypto soon understands the assignment and starts dragging Clark in the snow. Then, the Fortress of Solitude emerges, and a few mechanical beings welcome Clark and tell him that he will be good with a healthy dose of yellow sun in no time. When he tries to thank them for their work, one of the robots says:

"No need to thank us, sir, as we will not appreciate it. We have no consciousness whatsoever."

However, in the montage shown towards the end of the sneak peek, we can see Superman weeping over one of the robots, who appears to be dead. The clip also gave glimpses of Superman's heroics, the villains, and the romance between Clark and Lois.
