A brand new DC movie has made its way to HBO Max, making it easy as ever to watch. DC League of Super-Pets, the animated film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Krypto the Super-Dog, is now available on the streaming service. The movie was available in theaters over the summer but now can be enjoyed right from the comfort of home.

Director Jared Stern’s DC Comics adaptation earned solid reviews out of the gate. Despite that, it didn’t quite find the audience it needed in theaters. Against a reported $90 million budget, it has earned $186 million to date. Still, this is one that could have a very good second life on VOD and streaming, thanks to the family friendly nature of it.
Here is the synopsis for DC League of Super-Pets.
“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.”
The stacked A-list cast is led by The Rock. The cast also includes Kevin Hart (Jumanji, Secret Life of Pets), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Magic School Bus Rides Again), John Krasinski (A Quiet Place), Vanessa Bayer (Saturday Night Live, Office Christmas Party), 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).
This isn’t the only DC movie that Johnson has coming our way this year either. After well over a decade of development, Black Adam is set to hit theaters in October. The film will see Johnson playing the titular anti-hero, with the film also bringing the Justice Society of America into the fold. The original plan was to have Black Adam as the villain in Shazam. Those plans changed once The Rock became a huge movie star in his own right though. And you may even see a little bit of Black Adam in DC League of Super-Pets.
DC League of Super-Pets arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on October 4.
