Gunn's own rescue pup Ozu helped shape the portrayal of Krypto the Superdog in next summer's DC Studios release.

Gunn shared this sneak peek at Superman 's Krypto with his whopping 2.8 million followers on Instagram. He regularly uses social media to shut down rumors, and communicate directly with the fandom. And that includes the story of adopting Ozu, and how his own pooch inspired the character of Superman's dog.
