A big Christmas present has arrived for Superman fans.

The first trailer for the new Superman movie has dropped.

It gives us a look at David Corenswet as Superman and his normal-person disguise, Clark Kent, and we also meet Lois Lane who is played by Rachel Brosnahan.

There's a lot of other people with powers in the trailer, some of them superheroes and others clearly super-villains in the movie.

In fact, our first sight of Superman shows him a bit bashed up, but luckily he can still manage to whistle for help from a cute dog who he calls Krypto!

Meet Krypto the... superdog?

The film is a reboot of the classic DC comic book character, who's been played in recent years by British actor Henry Cavill.

In the trailer though he appears to be having a rough time, fighting top baddie Lex Luthor and a load of other villains with superpowers - including a fire-breathing dragon!

The public also seems to be pretty fed up with Superman, as we see people shouting at him in the street and throwing things at him.
