Superman gets smashed — and dragged home by his dog in wild new sneak peek

DC Studios just dropped a jaw-dropping new look at James Gunn’s Superman, and let’s just say—this is not your usual Man of Steel. Shared during Warner Bros.’ presentation at CinemaCon and now released online, the sneak peek has fans buzzing for all the right (and unexpected) reasons.

The extended footage features David Corenswet as a very badly injured Superman, unable to walk or fly, pleading with his loyal dog Krypto to drag him home. Yes, you read that right—Krypto is literally pulling a flopping, broken Superman through the snow. It's part hilarious, part brutal, and fully James Gunn.

Though the scene starts off morbidly funny, it quickly shifts into classic superhero weirdness in the best way possible. Krypto drags Clark to the Fortress of Solitude, which looks more magical and inventive than ever. Inside, a group of medical robots in superhero capes leap into action, including one wild moment where they focus concentrated sunlight to heal him.

Fans got a clear listen to Robot 4—voiced by none other than Alan Tudyk. A longtime James Gunn collaborator and expert in bringing robots to life, Tudyk’s voicework is already earning praise online. Meanwhile, speculation is swirling about the voice behind Robot 12, with fans throwing out their best guesses.

The trailer also gives longer glimpses of other key characters: Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.

What makes this sneak peek stand out is Gunn’s signature blend of heart, humor, and chaos—something that’s clearly setting this Superman apart from previous versions. And fans are here for it.

Superman, the first official film in DC’s rebooted universe, soars into theaters on July 11. With Peter Safran and James Gunn producing—and Gunn writing and directing—it’s shaping up to be a bold, emotional, and surprisingly fun reintroduction to the world's most iconic hero.
