A new Superman toy has apparently revealed the eighth major villain set to appear in James Gunn’s upcoming DC Studios epic. While big names like Lex Luthor and The Engineer will put their stamp on the 2025 comic book film, Gunn has made it clear that there will be room for even more characters from the Man of Steel’s rogues’ gallery in his first DCU movie.
A new toy listing revealed that the mysterious Yeti would be the eighth villain in Superman. While most will know the white-furred beast from real-world mythology, the Yeti has a history in DC Comics, having been seen fighting heroes like Black Adam in various comic book stories over the years.
The Yeti reveal came via a Superman tie-in toy set spotted by Superman Homepage, featuring a figurine of the hulking metahuman. The set, called the “Fortress of Solitude Battle Set,” includes posable plastic figurines of David Corenswet’s Man of Steel, the adorable Krypto the Super-Dog, and the Yeti.
The Yeti is the eighth villain revealed for Superman, joining the likes of Lex Luthor, Hammer of Boravia, Ultraman, The Engineer, White Alien, Kaiju and, of course, LexCorp.
Superman will soar into theaters on July 11.
