Superman had a scene with Krypto the Superdog that upset test audiences so much, James Gunn cut it out of the entire film. James Gunn is a director that has prominently featured some very cute, cuddly characters in his movies and made audiences care deeply about them. Of course, there\u2019s Groot and all of his various incarnations, but there\u2019s also the critters such as Rocket, Cosmo, Lylla, Floor, Teefs, and so on. Of course, Gunn uses that connection the audiences forms to really hurt them as well by putting these beloved characters in peril and in some cases, outright killing them. No one likes seeing an animal die, but it is also a very dramatic way of engaging the audience.<\/p>\n

With that said, Superman will prominently feature Krypto the Superdog<\/a> in his first proper live-action, big screen outing and ever since fans laid eyes on him, they\u2019ve been awe-struck by him. He\u2019s extremely cute and sweet, allowing Warner Bros. to put him at the center of the film\u2019s marketing. With that said, Krypto is a \u201csuper dog\u201d, meaning he has his own powers and does his own fair share of crime fighting in a sense. The trailers have shown that Krypto gets his time to shine in at least one action sequence as well, which indicates he will be put in danger.<\/p>\n

Superman Cut a Major Krypto Moment That Would\u2019ve Really Upset Fans<\/strong><\/p>\n

With that said, Superman Sara Sampaio revealed in an interview with Jake Hamilton that there was a moment that went too far and got cut. At some point in the film, Superman antagonist Ultraman<\/a> would\u2019ve outright punched Krypto and the moment really upset test audiences, so it got cut out of the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey actually cut a worse scene, me and [Nicholas Hoult] were a bit pissed about it, but it\u2019s okay,\u201d said Sampaio. \u201cThey cut Ultraman punching Krypto. Apparently, it did really bad in the test screenings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultraman is expected to be pretty powerful in Superman<\/a>, so a punch from him isn\u2019t necessarily a punch from anybody. It can deal some real damage, so any ensuing whimpers or noises from Krypto could easily really upset some test audiences. Sometimes it\u2019s easier to stomach those things on a character like Rocket that can speak English and acts more human than racoon in some ways, but with a dog, people don\u2019t take as kindly to that. All in all, it\u2019s probably for the best James Gunn cut that out otherwise people would\u2019ve been up in arms over it.<\/p>\n

Krypto the Superdog is expected to live on to fight another day after Superman. Krypto will get his own seasonal animated shorts<\/a> that will roll out periodically after the film releases, but not much is known about them at the moment. It\u2019s clear Krypto is a key part of the future of the DC universe, though. He will likely be one of the star characters of the movie and audiences will certainly be enamored with him. Thankfully, we won\u2019t have to wait long to see him in action as Superman will release on July 11th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superman had a scene with Krypto the Superdog that upset test audiences so much, James Gunn cut it…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":31233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[26430,171,26431,53,7795,26432,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-31232","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-dc-universe","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-krypto-the-super-dog","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-regular-news","13":"tag-superman-2025","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114780867447086010","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
