I LOVE surprising audiences of our @sevenbucksprod films, but this #DCSuperPets screening surprise was special 🙏🏾🍿 I dressed up as my character, KRYPTO and surprised two audiences here at @cinemark in LA.

Best part was finding a loving home with the Hernandez family for my lil’ guy, Quail  An incredible night all in the spirit of celebrating PETS  #DCSuperPets IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY!!

Johnson’s DC projects

Meanwhile, Super-Pets is just one of two major DC projects featuring Johnson. The second is the much-anticipated Black Adam adaptation. In that movie, arriving this fall, he stars as the anti-hero himself.

Speaking to Comic Book, Johnson and his producing partner, Hiram Garcia revealed how this all happened.  While they were filming Red Notice, he got a call from their agent. He asked if they knew that Superman has a dog named Krypto and it went on from there. Garcia said he was excited right away when he realized that there was an opportunity to tell the story of the League of Super-Pets. He loved the idea of being able to tell the story of the pets of the great superheroes in the DC Universe.

Remember, DC’s League of Super-Pets premieres in theaters on Friday, July 29, 2022. Enjoy the movie!
