Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander have incredible chemistry in Derek Cianfrance’s upcoming drama “The Light Between Oceans,” and now we have two new clips from the movie to prove it.

Based on M.L. Stedman’s 2012 best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the the story of a couple, Tom Sherbourne (Fassbender) and Isabel Graysmark (Vikander), who marry and live on a small island. As their love flourishes, their happiness is marred by their inability to start a family. Wishing for a child of their own, one day a castaway baby washes ashore and Isabel believes her prayers have been answered, while Tom is torn between reporting the child and keeping her as their own. 

The new clips show Fassbender is a charming light, making him seem like the perfect husband and father.
