Yearly, studios and corporations pay exorbitant quantities of cash for advert time on the Tremendous Bowl, so it is not shocking that some fairly big film trailers normally drop through the massive sport. The 2025 showdown between the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was no exception (although calling it a “showdown” feels a little bit foolish, as a result of should you watched the sport, full properly that it was a whole beatdown of the Chiefs, courtesy of the Eagles). A handful of teasers and spots took up air time through the Tremendous Bowl final evening between the Eagles completely dominating the Chiefs and Kendrick Lamar’s thought-provoking, undeniably cheeky, and gorgeously choreographed halftime set — so what had been they?
Not solely will I fill you in on any trailer drops you might need missed, I will do you one higher: I will rank them for you. Listed here are all the most important film teasers and trailers that got here out throughout Tremendous Bowl LIX on February 9, from worst to finest.
8. Lilo & Sew (Might 2025)
It is virtually unfair to name the transient spot for the live-action model of “Lilo & Sew” a trailer, as a result of it is so tied to the Tremendous Bowl that it gives no have a look at the precise film itself. In a spot clearly designed to trick viewers who had been perhaps grabbing one other plate or wings or cracking open a beer and never glued to the TV, a “real-life” Sew — who you may bear in mind from the beloved 2002 Disney animated movie — sprints throughout a soccer discipline and retains evading individuals attempting to catch him as they run round with trashcans. Even when it appears to be like like they did get him beneath one of many cans, Sew merely burrows into the sector itself, reappears elsewhere, steals a golf cart, and crashes it right into a goalpost.
We get it; Sew is chaotic. It is type of his complete deal. Nonetheless, not solely is that this film yet one more Disney live-action remake that can most likely take viewers on to the “uncanny valley,” however this is not even a trailer. It is a skit. Shifting on.
7. Smurfs (July 18)
With all due respect to pop star and Barbadian icon Rihanna, what’s she doing?! The lady hasn’t launched new music since Barack Obama was president, and now, within the first a part of 2025, we’re getting teased about potential songs by means of a trailer for a freaking “Smurfs” film?!?
Let me again up a bit. Rihanna, whose cinematic monitor report ranges from “enjoyable” (“Ocean’s 8”) to “dreadful” (“Battleship”), introduces the trailer for this new tackle the little blue of us beloved the world over, which is fairly normal: Smurfette, voiced by Rihanna, takes her Smurf mates to Paris, France to try to discover the lacking Papa Smurf (John Goodman). The form of baffling side of this trailer is that, after listening to a couple of Rihanna’s older hits soundtrack the motion, we’re instructed to “presave” the soundtrack as a result of it’s going to function new songs from RiRi.
It’d appear to be an irrational knee-jerk response to say that this trailer solely stinks as a result of it is teasing new Rihanna music as a part of a youngsters’s film, however additionally, we have already got a bunch of “Smurfs” motion pictures, and this one appears to be like fairly dumb. Subsequent!
6. Learn how to Practice Your Dragon (June 13)
Oh, look! One other live-action remake of a beloved animated film that no one requested for! The unique “Learn how to Practice Your Dragon” got here out in 2010 and instantly gained over audiences, and after a handful of sequels, it is getting the live-action remedy identical to “Lilo & Sew.” To be completely truthful, TV reveals and films have carried out a reasonably good job of making dragons with particular results; it is the complete premise of “Home of the Dragon,” for instance. That is to say that the trailer does not appear to vow any form of horrifying visuals like that earlier “Lilo & Sew” one.
It appears to be like positive! It is fairly brief, briefly exhibiting Mason Thames as the primary character Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III atop his dragon Toothless, so there’s not an entire lot to see (and a bigger trailer did drop two months in the past). The guts-wrenching authentic rating is again in play, although, if that does something for you.
5. Jurassic World Rebirth (July 2)
There is not something improper with the “Jurassic World Rebirth” trailer, per se — which is why it lands smack in the midst of this rating. The issue with it’s, frankly, that we have seen numerous this footage in earlier trailers, particularly the one which simply dropped on February 5! We get have a look at the all-star solid, which incorporates Scarlett Johansson, Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, and “Depraved” standout Jonathan Bailey as a covert group attempting to analyze an deserted island that may have some prehistoric life left on it but. (That is set a number of years after “Jurassic World Dominion.”)
Once more, the film appears to be like enjoyable sufficient, even though most followers of the franchise suppose that it has been producing diminishing returns for a while now. This simply is not a brand new trailer! Give us extra content material, overlords!
4. F1 (June 27)
Director Joseph Kosinski’s legacy sequel “Prime Gun: Maverick” was an monumental hit when it got here out in 2022, so it is easy to presume that his new high-octane film, “F1,” will show to be a fairly large deal when it releases this yr. With Brad Pitt main the solid, the film focuses on his character Sonny Hayes, who finally ends up retiring from racing after enduring a horrifying automobile crash. Naturally, he is dragged out of retirement by his previous buddy Ruben (Javier Bardem) — who simply so occurs to personal a Formulation One crew — so he can function a mentor to a promising younger racer, Joshua “Noah” Pearce (Damson Idris).
This teaser is punishingly transient, however contemplating that we all know Kosinski is aware of easy methods to construction a enjoyable motion film, there’s not a lot trigger for concern right here. We’ll undoubtedly get higher appears to be like at this action-packed flick as its launch approaches, nevertheless it’s unsurprising that Warner Bros. and Apple dropped an advert through the Tremendous Bowl.
3. Thunderbolts* (Might 2)
Lastly, we acquired a greater have a look at the brand new Marvel ensemble film, “Thunderbolts*” (sure, the asterisk is meant to be there) due to the 2025 Tremendous Bowl. This huge movie — which marks the long-awaited finish of Section 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — focuses on a bunch of Marvel antiheroes teaming up for the primary time. “Let’s speak information,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine declares originally of the trailer, “The Avengers usually are not coming.” There is a fairly pleasant glimpse on the team-up between Sebastian Stan, returning as Bucky Barnes, and his new unwilling colleagues Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh, returning after “Black Widow” and “Hawkeye”) and her father determine Alexei Shostakov, often known as the Crimson Guardian (David Harbour).
Soundtracked by “Nothing’s Gonna Cease Us Now” by Starship, the trailer actually appears to be like like a reasonably good time! Even should you’re experiencing some MCU fatigue, “Thunderbolts*” appears to be like fairly promising, and that is our greatest have a look at it thus far.
2. Mission: Unimaginable — The Last Reckoning (Might 23)
Folks love spectacle on the Tremendous Bowl, whether or not Girl Gaga is diving right into a stadium to carry out at her halftime present or Beyoncé is reuniting Future’s Little one throughout hers — so it makes excellent sense that we acquired a brand new (albeit transient) have a look at the following “Mission: Unimaginable” film, “The Last Reckoning.” As soon as once more, Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt is performing an entire bunch of death-defying stunts. Is that this the final “Mission: Unimaginable” film? Maybe — Ethan does say he is doing this “one final time” — however the jury’s nonetheless out on that.
Cruise is, as common, flanked by franchise favorites like Hayley Atwell’s Grace and Simon Pegg’s Benji, and followers are undoubtedly hoping that “The Last Reckoning” may go away them a little bit happier than “Lifeless Reckoning,” which wasn’t solely satisfying. In any case, the Tremendous Bowl was the proper time to present longtime “Mission: Unimaginable” followers one other glimpse of what might be the franchise’s final trip.
1. M3GAN 2.0 (June 27)
It’d really feel bonkers to place a sequel to the homicide doll film on the prime spot on this checklist, nevertheless it’s my checklist, and sorry, however “M3GAN” guidelines. Set to Chappell Roan’s absolute banger “Pink Pony Membership,” the teaser reintroduces us to M3GAN, a sinister and maybe too loyal robotic performed by Amie Donald (and voiced by Jenna Davis), and what does she do within the teaser? She simply dances, which is ideal (her dance to “Stroll the Night time” by the Skatt Bros within the first movie went viral just about instantly), whereas the display tells us that “this b*tch is again.”
We do not see Allison Williams’ Gemma or Violet McGraw’s Cady within the teaser, however that is positive; all we actually want is M3GAN dancing to present us an concept of how enjoyable this sequel goes to be. “M3GAN 2.0” might be going to be some of the outrageously enjoyable motion pictures of 2025, and it was simply flat-out superior to get this foolish, tongue-in-cheek trailer through the Tremendous Bowl.
