🎬 Goyer Is All Smiles Over the Trailers

David S. Goyer told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he’s thoroughly enjoying the trailers for Superman, and emphasized how different it feels from his own Man of Steel. He said:

“I love [the trailers]. It’s not Man of Steel at all…Because I came from that world, it would not have occurred to me to use Krypto, but when Krypto shows up, I’ve just got a big grin on my face.”

🐶 Krypto Brings the Joy

Goyer—who penned the 2013 Man of Steel—mentioned that when “Krypto shows up,” it sparked a wide grin. Seeing Superman’s super‑dog in action struck him as a delightful and unexpected addition to the story .

🌟 A Different Superman Tone

He made it clear this new film is intentionally distinct from his own Man of Steel:

 • It’s “not Man of Steel at all.”

 • Expect a version that is lighter, more whimsical, and enriched with classic Superman elements—like Krypto—that weren’t part of Goyer’s more serious take .

📅 What’s Next

Superman is set to debut on July 11, 2025, launching DC Studios’ new era under James Gunn and Peter Safran. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, introducing a broader, brighter tone with characters like Krypto and other heroes.

📌 Bottom Line

Goyer is clearly excited about the fresh tone and new elements—especially the inclusion of Krypto. His reaction offers a strong endorsement that this Superman will be quite different from Man of Steel, offering a more lighthearted and comic‑faithful adventure.
