io9 was at CinemaCon 2025’s Warner Bros. presentation and got eyes on the latest Superman sneak peek first—we described it for you in a post earlier this week. Now, everyone can enjoy this extended look at James Gunn’s July 11 DC Studios release, and particularly the antics of the movie’s true star: Superman’s loyal (if mischievous!) pup, Krypto.

Last year as Superman was in production, Gunn shared the adorable tale of his family’s own pup, Ozu, whose appearance and personality influenced this version of the comic-book character. Rescued from a scary hoarding situation, Ozu at first didn’t quite know how to dog properly—leading the writer-director to wonder, as he wrote on social media, “How difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers? … Thus Krypto came into the script and changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life.”

We’ll get more Krypto—and, ok sure, the rest of the cast, including David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor—when Superman hits screens July 11.

Lionsgate has released a new trailer for the John Wick spin-off movie with too many SEO-centric words stuffed in its title, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas. Long-ass name aside, the new trailer kicks all kinds of ass.

Set to the dark movie trailer rendition of Charli XCX’s Brat bop, “Von Dutch,” the trailer opens on a Slavic mythological monologue about a kikimora spirit that enacts vengeance on people with darkness in their hearts, while serving as the protector of the innocent. It doesn’t take a college degree to surmise that the monologue intercutting with the previous Ballerina trailer’s footage of De Arma’s Eve tearing shit up in a nightclub would hint very clearly at her being said kikimora. Our guess is her shooting a woman in the crotch denotes that the unfortunate soul had darkness in their heart that needed to be dealt with expeditiously.

As we’ve seen in the past trailer, Eve is on a warpath to find the people who killed her father. Her only clue is a mysterious tattoo. She gets closer to her goal with the help of the Continental’s Winston Scott (Ian McShane) and Charon (the late Lance Reddick). After blowing people up with grenades behind a door, lighting people on fire with a flamethrower, and shooting fools from the open door of her t-bonned car, the only thing left standing in Eve’s way is a showdown with John Wick.

While the new trailer is certainly intriguing, it does feel like it should’ve been the first trailer we saw as opposed to the second when you take into consideration the previous trailer all but defused any tension from Eve and John’s fight by showing them work together in a sort of passing of the torch capacity. Sure, we know they’re gonna fight, and it’s probably gonna look fantastic, but maybe don’t show them being hunky dory in our first look and defuse all the tension from their quarrel? To the trailer’s credit, knowing the film takes place in the middle of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4 leaves room to wonder whether Eve survives her revenge tour.

Guess we’ll have to wait and find out what becomes of Eve when Ballerina releases on June 6.
