In addition to Krypto, the sneak peek highlighted the iconic Superman robots, which were briefly teased in the first trailer.

Fans are also eagerly speculating about the voice of Robot 12, with many online already guessing the actress behind the character.
Superman, slated for release on July 11, marks DC Studios' first feature film in the newly reimagined universe. The movie stars David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Gunn's signature style of epic action, humor, and heart promises a fresh take on the iconic superhero, driven by compassion and an unwavering belief in humanity's goodness. The film is produced by Peter Safran and Gunn, with Gunn also writing and directing.

James Gunn addresses Superman and Fantastic Four fan rivalry ahead of July box office showdown
As excitement builds for two major superhero films hitting theaters this July—DC's Superman and Marvel's Fantastic Four—DC Studios co-head James Gunn has stepped in to ease rising tensions among fans. On Threads, Gunn responded to a fan question about Marvel's Fantastic Four by emphasizing unity rather than rivalry. 'They come out two weeks after us – there's room for us both! I love my friends at Marvel,' Gunn wrote. 'I'd focus on all the positivity around the films instead of getting sucked up in online fan wars.' The release timing has sparked comparisons, with Superman set to premiere on July 11 and Fantastic Four following on July 25. Gunn's remarks aim to refocus attention on the films themselves rather than encourage franchise competition. Though now a key figure at DC, Gunn has deep ties to Marvel. He wrote and directed the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, produced Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, and contributed to several Marvel projects over the past decade. His support for Marvel comes from long-standing relationships with the studio and its creators. Adding to the competitive summer box office, Jurassic World Rebirth will debut earlier on July 2. The film features Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali and is directed by Gareth Edwards. Gunn's Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent, with Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult also leading the cast. Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman, stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. While online chatter may fuel a Marvel vs. DC narrative, Gunn encourages fans to embrace the blockbuster season for what it is—a celebration of superheroes on all fronts.
