Super Bowl 58 had millions around the world glued to their seats as they watched the action unfold between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. As such, it was the perfect place for studios to drop some of their biggest commercials for upcoming films and TV series.
If you want to start planning your watch calendar, then keep on reading. You can also find out who was the headline act of the halftime show (spoilers, it wasn’t Taylor Swift).
Which trailers aired during the Super Bowl?
Variety’s official prediction list was pretty spot on, with Marvel, Disney, Paramount and other major studios getting in on the Super Bowl action.
Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool is now officially under Disney’s MCU umbrella, and Disney has confirmed that Hugh Jackman will return to play Wolverine – though he’ll likely be a variant from another multiverse. Marvel fans will recognise the inclusion of the TVA, who were a huge part of the TV series, Loki .
Twisters
The 1996 hit Twister is getting a standalone sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos. The original disaster flick followed a group of storm chasers who put their lives on the line to fix an alert system.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
The Planet of the Apes trilogy was a visually magnificent spectacle, following the revolutionary life of Caesar. This film is set 300 years after that, when humans have fallen back into a primitive state, with the exception of one girl.
Wicked: Part One
The Wizard of Oz musical spin-off Wicked reimagines the classic tale, told from the perspective of Elphaba, AKA The Wicked Witch of the West. As it’s split into two parts, the first half will almost certainly cover act 1 of the musical, building up to the iconic Defying Gravity number.
