DC’s just dropped a surprise first look at Krypto’s appearance in League of Superpets, its new animated movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Superman’s beloved canine pal. But that’s not the only news: Krypto’s bringing some big stars with him to round out the team of, well, super pets.
The trailer confirms that Kevin Hart will play Ace the Bathound, Bruce Wayne’s four-legged Dark Knight, while cast in undisclosed roles we have Ghostbusters’ Kate McKinnon, A Quiet Place’s John Krasinski, SNL’s Vanessa Bayer, Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne, Rogue One’s Diego Luna, and internet sweetheart (and star of John Wick, The Matrix, and Bill & Ted, I guess)… the one, the only, Keanu Reeves.

Hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change

We don’t have much more to go on, but it’s interesting to see the style they’re going for here, a blend of cartoonish realism that just makes Krypto look very, very cute as he flies into the distance. And that cape activation! Delightful.
DC’s League of Superpets looks like it’s coming to cinemas in Australia on May 19, 2022. While you wait, why not check out all the other sci-fi, horror and fantasy films coming our way.
