Marvel Just Broke a 16-Year Super Bowl Trailer Trend

Even though Disney was involved in the event, Marvel Studios didn’t release any new trailers. Fans hoping to see footage from Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, or Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again were disappointed. A trailer for Daredevil: Born Again seemed most likely, as the show premieres on Disney+ in March and Marvel has released TV trailers before for series like Moon Knight and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. However, no trailer appeared, meaning we’ll have to wait a bit longer – and there’s a curious reason behind this decision.

Sci-Fi Movie Fans Won Big At The Super Bowl 2026 (With 1 Notable Exception)

Several movies shared trailers or short clips during the big game, including Scream 7 and Minions 3. However, it was especially interesting to see so many science fiction films promoted on such a large platform. The promotion began before the game with the final trailer for Project Hail Mary, and even included a brief teaser for Supergirl during the Puppy Bowl, highlighting Krypto the Superdog. Later, a TV spot for Disclosure Day offered a new look at Steven Spielberg’s return to UFO stories after more than 20 years.

How ‘Disclosure Day’ And ‘Independence Day’ Are Related (And How They’re Quite Different)

Steven Spielberg’s latest sci-fi film, featuring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, and Colin Firth, has generated a lot of buzz since its initial trailer was released. People are especially curious about a surprising animal element and the movie’s focus on UFOs. Because the film involves an alien invasion, many viewers are wondering if it shares a connection to Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day.
