What trailers are expected to be shown during the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl might be considered a sporting event but it’s equally a promotional vessel for the entire entertainment industry.
Along with the celebrated halftime shows from the biggest acts in music, the event is punctuated with film and television trailers during the US broadcast. Last year’s event, for example, saw trailers for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, Nope, Jurassic World: Dominion among others.
While it’s unclear what exactly will be shown, behind-the-scenes rumblings and the near future release slate provide some easy indications of what to expect. If you’re curious, here’s the likely contenders who will make an appearance when the Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday February 12.
Warner Bros
As reported by Deadline, DC’s The Flash starring Ezra Miller is expected to be shown for the first time. James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran, recently described it as “probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made”. It’s slated to be released on June 16, 2023.
Creed III starring Michael B. Jordan also might make an appearance, ahead of its worldwide release on March 3.
Disney
Marvel is expected to debut trailers for Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels. It’s believed the upcoming Disney+ show Secret Invasion, however, won’t make an appearance.
