Supergirl Movie: Does Krypto Die? Here’re Spoilers From The Woman Of Tomorrow Story

by

As a huge fan, I was so excited to see the first trailer for Supergirl! It looks like Krypto, Superman’s super-powered dog, is going to be in trouble, and honestly, I’m a little worried! He was such a fun character when we first met him in Superman – he’s inspired by James Gunn’s own dog, which is awesome! The end of Superman showed us Krypto actually belongs with Supergirl (Milly Alcock), so it makes sense he’ll be a big part of her story too. I can’t wait to see what happens with him!

The first trailer for Supergirl shows that Kara’s dog, Krypto, is always by her side. He lives with her and even joins her for a lively birthday celebration at an alien bar. But the trailer hints that Krypto might face some trouble later on.

In the Supergirl trailer, around 1 minute and 32 seconds in, Krypto is seen unconscious, and Kara is watching him with tears in her eyes. While the trailer doesn’t reveal what happened to Krypto, James Gunn, head of DC Studios, has confirmed that the movie will feature Supergirl trying to save her dog’s life, meaning Krypto will be in danger.

The upcoming Supergirl movie from DC Studios will draw inspiration from the comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King, and will feature Krypto the Superdog as an important part of the story.

In the miniseries, Supergirl joins forces with a young girl named Ruthye, who wants to avenge her family’s murder by finding the killer, Krem of the Yellow Hills. At first, Supergirl is hesitant to help, but after Krem attacks her, Krypto jumps in to protect her and is injured by an arrow. When Supergirl takes Krypto to the vet, she discovers the arrow was poisoned, and the only way to save him is to find Krem and obtain an antidote.

Craig Gillespie directed Supergirl, with James Gunn and Peter Safran as producers. The film features Milly Alcock as Supergirl/Kara Zor-El, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, and Jason Momoa as Lobo. Supergirl is set to be released on June 26, 2026, and will be the second major live-action movie in the DC Universe.

Will Krypto Survive in Supergirl?

The latest trailer for Supergirl seems to show that Krypto has been hurt in the movie, and now fans are wondering if he can be saved.

The comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow reveals a surprising truth: Krypto wasn’t actually poisoned! The ending confirms he fully recovers, as his injury was never life-threatening. Kara, Supergirl, simply used the pretense of Krypto being hurt to convince Ruthye to let her join her mission for revenge against Krem.

The story Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow delves into complex moral questions for Kara, also known as Supergirl. Still grieving the loss of her home planet, Krypton, she feels lost after landing on Earth. When she meets Ruthye and sees a reflection of her own pain, Kara joins Ruthye’s quest for revenge, which ultimately reignites her own heroic drive. However, Kara needs a reason to embrace this darker path, and she finds it in the suffering of an injured dog, giving her the justification she needs to pursue Krem.

Based on what we know so far, the upcoming Supergirl movie appears to be taking a similar approach to the comic books by showcasing a more complex, antihero version of Kara. This suggests the film will likely use the same twist involving Krypto the Superdog – initially making it seem like he’s in danger, but ultimately revealing he’s okay. This is great news for fans of Krypto and hints at more appearances for the character within the DC Universe.
