Dog Man: First Trailer for Highly Anticipated Captain Underpants Spinoff Movie Released

As a seasoned gamer and avid reader of children’s literature, I must say I am thoroughly thrilled about the upcoming Dog Man movie! Growing up with Captain Underpants, it’s fascinating to see Dav Pilkey’s imaginative universe expand into its own standalone franchise. With DreamWorks Animation behind the helm, the bar for creativity and humor is set high, given their track record of hits like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.


In more recent times, one of the cherished children’s book series has been long-awaited for its cinematic debut, much like its precursor. The character of Dog Man initially emerged in the realm of Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants, swiftly growing into a separate self-contained franchise. The animation studio, DreamWorks Animation, known for their works such as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda, have already brought the story of Captain Underpants to life on the big screen, and they are now set to do the same with Dog Man.

Even though “Dog Man” won’t hit theaters until January, the studios (DreamWorks and Universal) unveiled the movie’s official trailer on Tuesday, offering a sneak peek to the numerous followers of the book series, showing them the dog detective in action for the first time. Take a look!

If you’re not acquainted, the character of Dog Man originated from an unusual concept: A police officer and his dog partner were both injured in the line of duty. In a remarkable turn of events, a groundbreaking operation merged the dog’s head onto the man’s body, thus giving birth to the character known as Dog Man. Now, DreamWorks is working on a movie to tell this unique tale.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of Dog Man, I find myself in a tale where Pete Davidson assumes the role of the cunning antagonist, Petey the Cat. In this adventure, Get Out’s Lil Rel Howery takes on the heroic mantle as our Chief. The star-studded cast doesn’t stop there; Isla Fisher becomes TV reporter Sarah Hatoff, Poppy Liu transforms into Petey’s assistant, Butler, Stephen Root steps into the shoes of Grampa, Billy Boyd joins as Sarah’s cameraman, Seamus, and Ricky Gervais brings Flippy the fish to life.

You can check out the official synopsis for Dog Man below!

As a devoted admirer, I share the tale of a dedicated police dog and his human partner who share a life-altering incident on duty. Injured side by side, they undergo an extraordinary operation that merges them into one unique being – Dog Man. Sworn to protect and serve, this remarkable canine takes on duties beyond fetching, sitting, and rolling over.

In a tense situation where Lil Petey is captured by a familiar adversary, Dog Man and Petey find themselves unwillingly teaming up in a thrilling race against time. Their mission: to save a small kitten. Through this ordeal, they uncover the extraordinary bond of family, even between sworn enemies, and the undeniable charm of kittens.

Dog Man is set to hit theaters on January 31, 2025.
