James Gunn Promotes Puppy Bowl with Superman Preview

On February 9, 2025, director James Gunn will promote his upcoming film 'Superman' during the Puppy Bowl, where he will introduce exclusive footage and celebrate the Krypto Super Play Award, inspired by his rescue dog Ozu. The Puppy Bowl, featuring 142 rescue puppies, aims to highlight pet adoption while providing a playful football-themed event. Gunn shared that Ozu influenced the portrayal of Krypto as a smaller dog, contrasting the traditional larger depictions. Although 'Superman' won't have a Super Bowl ad, the Puppy Bowl's unique platform aligns the heartwarming appeal of Krypto with the adorable charm of the participating puppies. The film, set for release on July 11, 2025, stars David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. This initiative not only promotes the film but also encourages viewers to support pet adoption efforts.
