The writer, director and producer James Gunn can sometimes be a little controversial, making large swings with beloved franchises and characters that sometimes fans of Royally Irk. His next “Superman” film, with David Corenswet as everyone’s favorite Kryptonian, is almost guaranteed for the division because it seems to be the polar opposite of “Man of Steel” by Zack Snyder (and Snyder’s Fandom, we know that the audiences have been spared. In an interview clip of the Youtube channel Jake’s Takes, Sara Sampa Who plays Eve Teschmacher, and María Gabriela de Faría, who plays the engineer, revealed that there was a scene that had been so badly received by the test audience that she was completely cut.
Although there are quite a few things you can get out in the movies, one of the ultimate taboos seems to be violence against animals – especially dogs. This is why it is not really surprising that a scene in which the villain Ultraman strikes the dog from Supes, Krypto, was simply too much for the test audience. No one likes to see dogs injure themselves, and there are dedicated whole websites whether or not the dog dies in a film, so that people’s problems with the Pupper Punch have a lot of sense.
Krypto is too cute to hit!
Gunn has never had a problem with a little violence against animals in the past, with fairly brutal birds of birds in “The Suicide Squad”, a German shepherd beheaded in his first feature film (the Horror Duree-R “Slither”), and a few moments of appetite with Rocket Raccoon and his animal tasks in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Based on Gunn’s dog and is really cute, so people have probably managed it even worse than your medium -off cinema moment. always Bulleuse by the Beagle puppy which is killed at the beginning of “John Wick”, so maybe it was intelligent to remove the Krypto Knuckle sandwich. After all, “Superman” has a lot more driving on it than something like “Slither”, and a large audience of public will simply not tolerate canine carnage.
The other factor here is that since Ultraman is generally the clone of Superman, it means that we could potentially have seen someone who looks like Superman striking Krypto, which could be a little traumatic for the youngest audience. The actors noted that they felt that the scene was “the worst scene” of the film, so it seems that the cast did not like the moment either. But as Krypto is a super-dog CGI, there was no danger that a real dog was injured during the shooting. Krypto is sure to put yourself in danger in “Superman”, but we will have to wait to see what is happening until the film arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.
