April 4 (UPI) -- DC released a nearly 5-minute sneak peek at the upcoming film Superman, offering an extended look at a scene from the teaser trailer involving Krypto the Superdog.

Superman, the first official theatrical release from the newly-formed DC Studios, is written and directed by James Gunn and stars David Corenswet as the titular hero.

The sneak peek, posted to YouTube, features a longer version of the scene that opened the teaser released in December, with an injured Superman crashing to earth in the Arctic and summoning help from Kypto the Superdog.

The extended version of the scene shows Krypto initially not understanding Superman's request to be taken "home," instead attempting to play with his badly-injured master.

Once the Kryptonian canine understands the message, Krypto drags Superman by the cape to his Fortress of Solitude, which rises from the ice when the duo approach and opens its doors at the sound of Krypto's bark.
