Superman Deleted Scene Finally Reveals the Krypto Moment DCU Fans Can't Believe Was Cut
DCU fans get a surprise treat as a newly released Superman deleted scene reveals an unseen Krypto moment, adding fresh buzz to James Gunn’s summer blockbuster starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult.
If you wanted a little more Krypto in James Gunn's Superman, you just got it. A fresh deleted scene is out there, and it clarifies a tiny, goofy subplot the movie only hinted at. Also, yes, there is biting.
The deleted scene
X shared a cut moment from the back half of the film where Edi Gathegi's Michael Holt, aka Mr. Terrific, is actively hunting for Krypto. He tracks the super dog to a pet store that Krypto is enthusiastically demolishing, then tries the classic move: bribe the chaos gremlin with treats. It works until it doesn't. As Holt and Krypto hop in place, the pup goes in for a chomp and clamps onto Mr. Terrific's leg. Physical comedy, meet genius inventor.
Inside baseball detail: pieces of this sequence already surfaced in a Milk-Bone promo tied to the movie, but that ad did not include the leg-bite beat. The new clip, posted by DC Film News on Twitter on September 22, 2025, does.
Where this sits in Gunn's new DCU
Superman hit U.S. theaters in July, written and directed by James Gunn and led by David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It is the first DC Studios feature built for the big screen in Gunn and Peter Safran's newly imagined DC universe. The movie is now streaming on HBO Max.
"Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor, and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."
