DC League of Super Pets heads to cinemas in July – and it looks great fun

Just because they’re super – that doesn’t make them heroes. DC League of Super-Pets comes to cinemas across the UK on 29th July, and a new, very funny trailer had me laughing, and hopefully you will, too.

In DC League of Super-Pets, Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack – Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel – to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the Super Heroes.

Dwayne Johnson stars as the voice of Krypto the Super-Dog in the film, from director Jared Stern. The film also stars the voices of Kevin Hart (the Jumanji and Secret Life of Pets films), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, the Magic School Bus Rides Again films, Ferdinand), John Krasinski voices Superman (the Quiet Place films, Free Guy), Vanessa Bayer (Saturday Night Live, Office Christmas Party, Trainwreck), Natasha Lyonne (Show Dogs, Ballmastrz 9009), Diego Luna (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Maya and the Three), Marc Maron (Joker, GLOW), Thomas Middleditch (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie), Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog, Duck Tales), and Keanu Reeves (the Matrix and John Wick films) voices Batman.

“I’ve always wanted to do a buddy movie with The Rock,” Krasinski, who voices Superman, said last year of his role. “Well, these are the roles we were born to play! (FYI… DJ’s the one with the tongue).”
