This Wild Scene Was Removed From The New Superman Film After Controversy During Test Screening

David Corenswet as SupermanThe new Superman film may already be at the centre of a whole lot of hype and excitement, but there was one scene in the new comic book movie that fans were far less enthusiastic about.During a recent interview with YouTuber Jake Hamilton, cast member Sara Sampaio let slip that one truly outrageous scene had to be pulled from the film after test audiences had a decidedly negative reaction to it.During the conversation, the host claimed that there’s one scene in the film where Superman’s villains are “not the kindest” towards Clark Kent’s dog, Krypto.“They actually cut a worse scene,” Sara claimed, admitting that she and co-star Nicholas Hoult, who plays supervillain Lex Luthor, were “a little bit pissed about it, but it’s OK”.Sara then shared: “They cut Ultraman punching Krypto. Because, apparently, it did really bad in the test screening.”Co-star María Gabriela de Faría then added: “It’s not OK. You can’t punch a dog.”However, she maintained that “the dog attacked me first” before the deleted punch sequence.Superman – helmed by Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn – will introduce David Corenswet as the latest actor to take on the Man Of Steel.David’s past work has included the cult horror movie Pearl, Ryan Murphy’s Netflix shows Hollywood and The Politician, the political drama House Of Cards and the miniseries We Own This City and Lady In The Lake.He is joined in the film by Rachel Brosnahan – the Emmy-winning star of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, House Of Cards and The Amateur – as Lois Lane.Meanwhile, James Gunn also recently revealed that another divisive shot of David Corenswet flying as Superman was not used in the finished film after fans reacted negatively to it.James Gunn reveals he deleted this scene from #Supermam film following social media response: “It was a TV commercial and it wasn't a finished visual effects shot... I didn't love the shot, so it's not even the shot that's in the movie.”Source: EW | https://t.co/ClLkbjwtYLpic.twitter.com/whcRqEVYlN— Screen Rant (@screenrant) June 19, 2025Superman hits cinemas on Friday 11 July.MORE FILM NEWS:This Original Devil Wears Prada Star Is Not Returning For The SequelChristopher Nolan's The Odyssey Trailer Is Already Sparking Debate For This 1 ReasonMark Hamill Reveals How He Really Feels About Controversial Star Wars Film The Last Jedi
