Warner Bros. Studios and DC have released the official trailer for Superman, giving viewers and fans a good look at the heart of the Man of Steel.

It starts off with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) asking as Clark Kent (David Corenswet) if he is okay with her interviewing him as Superman. The reporter grills him on the questions, and he’s upset at her because he just wants to save people and do good. It later cuts to all the mayhem and action, including a part where Lex Luthor and the Engineer infiltrate Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

The trailer does a good job of capturing what Superman represents, and Corenswet isn’t taking the job lightly.

“I thought, ‘Well, how could it possibly get better than this?’” Corenswet tells Nerd Reactor about getting the part of Superman. “And then James brought together such a great crew of people and a cast of actors that I had the same experience of like how can it be this good and also on how it’s such an amazing film – something that’s going to be seen by so many people and it means so much to so many people.”
