Superman deleted scene sees Mister Terrific team up with Krypto – and explains why he was bleeding in those behind-the-scenes set leak photos

A brief deleted scene from James Gunn's Superman has hit the internet, and it's a sweet little moment between Mister Terrific and Krypto the Super Dog.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) finds Krypto at a pet shop with the absolutely punny title Pet it Be, and tries to get the dog to fly him up into the air. Instead of complying, however, he takes a bite out of Mister Terrific's foot instead. Some fans were quick to point out that this is the reason why Gathegi was seen walking around the set of Superman with a bloody foot. Mystery solved. You can watch the brief clip below.

The deleted scenes are exclusive to the digital release, which became available on August 15 and also includes a gag reel and director's commentary from Gunn. The physical release comes out on September 23, just a few days after the movie was made available to stream on HBO Max.
