James Gunn<\/a>\u2019s recent comments about Supergirl<\/a> could mean bad news for Krypto<\/a> fans.<\/p>\n

Following the release of Superman<\/a>, the next theatrically released DCU<\/a> movie will be Supergirl, which arrives in June 2026. The Warner Bros. Pictures<\/a> and DC Studios<\/a> film comes from director Craig Gillespie<\/a> and Ana Nogueira.<\/p>\n

The movie is based on the Tom King and Bilquis Evely Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow<\/a> miniseries, which launched at DC Comics in 2021. In the first issue of Woman of Tomorrow, Krypto, Kara, and Ruthye Marye Knoll are attacked by Krem of the Yellow Hills, which results in Krypto becoming seriously injured.<\/p>\n

What did James Gunn say about Supergirl and Krypto?<\/p>\n

During the press tour for Superman, stars Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda and Sara Sampaio confirmed that a scene where Ultraman punches Krypto<\/a> was removed from the movie after it \u201cdid really bad in test screenings.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by RollingStone<\/a> if the Supergirl movie would include the Krypto moments from the comics or if that wasn\u2019t going to happen because it would be too dark or scary<\/a> for a DCU film, Gunn said, \u201cRemember, this is a different movie than\u00a0Supergirl.\u00a0Supergirl\u00a0is a way more rock & roll film. It\u2019s a little bit rougher, in certain ways. She\u2019s a tougher character. She\u2019s not Superman at all. And so it\u2019s not the same. This movie really is for everybody. And so is Supergirl, but it\u2019s a little bit edgier in some ways than this film. Mind you, I\u2019ve seen all the dailies, but I haven\u2019t seen the cut. I see it next week, I think. So I\u2019m very excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cast of Supergirl includes Milly Alcock<\/a> as Kara Zor-El, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruth Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Jason Momoa as Lobo.<\/p>\n
