Super Bowl 2026 Trailers: Every Major Movie Preview Expected

by

The Super Bowl is a huge television event where sports and entertainment collide. Even with record-high advertising costs, many studios will still launch trailers for their biggest movies, hoping to grab the attention of the nearly 128 million people expected to watch. However, not every eagerly awaited film will be featured during Super Bowl LX. Although Marvel Studios has been promoting Avengers: Doomsday earlier than usual, new footage won’t be shown during the game, despite rumors of another trailer focusing on Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

Warner Bros. is skipping the Super Bowl this year, opting instead to promote its show Supergirl during the Puppy Bowl, just as they did with Superman last year. Universal showed off new clips from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey during the AFC Championship game, but they’ll be highlighting different movies during the Super Bowl. This Sunday’s game between the Seahawks and Patriots will air on NBC at 6 p.m. ET, and despite the lack of superhero movie ads, several big films will still get some attention during the broadcast.

Viewers Will Get a New Glimpse at Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the release of Disclosure Day, a new film by one of history’s most celebrated directors. Universal Pictures has already shared a first look, with a trailer showing a chilling scene of Emily Blunt, playing a meteorologist, seemingly speaking an alien language during a news broadcast.

The main draw of Spielberg’s upcoming film is generating a lot of excitement, and the latest preview will likely offer a slightly deeper look without giving away major plot details before its release in June. The film, titled Disclosure Day, boasts a fantastic cast including Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and more. It also marks another collaboration between Spielberg and frequent partners John Williams and David Koepp.

Universal Will Spotlight The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was the highest-grossing animated film of 2023, earning over a billion dollars. Following its success, a new Mario movie is planned for release three years later. The sequel will feature familiar characters like Mario and Luigi, as well as introduce Yoshi and Rosalina, who will be voiced by Brie Larson.

The movie, based on the popular video game, will continue the story by sending the adventure into space to fight Bowser and his son. Universal Pictures has already begun promoting the film, and the Super Bowl ad is meant to create even more buzz before its release in early April.

Minons 3 Will Also Get a Moment During the Big Game

While The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a big release for Illumination this year, Minions 3 could be another huge success for Universal. Releasing a first trailer during the Super Bowl is a smart way to build excitement for the new movie.

Okay, so there isn’t a ton of news about the next Minions movie yet, but it’ll be the seventh one and the first since 2024! Honestly, Universal is playing it cool – they could either give us a real sneak peek at Minions 3, or just drop a funny little teaser to let us know it’s coming. I’m hoping for a full trailer, but even a fun announcement would be great!

Paramount Has Already Dropped Its Big Game Look at Scream 7

Paramount doesn’t have many major blockbusters planned for 2026, but they’re still releasing a new trailer for Scream 7, which comes out later this month. The Scream series saw a revival with the 2022 film, but the upcoming seventh movie has faced some creative changes after stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega left the project.

The upcoming Scream movie will bring back Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. The filmmakers are trying to recapture the feel of the first films, and it’s exciting that original Ghostface actors Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley will be involved. There’s a lot of speculation about Stu’s character, which is designed to get audiences interested in seeing the movie when it releases in a few weeks.

Lionsgate Will Continue Its Big Push for Michael

Lionsgate is focusing its marketing efforts on one major film: a biopic about Michael Jackson, simply titled Michael. The film, which details the pop star’s life and career, faced some production challenges and has been delayed. Originally planned for release in October, Michael will now arrive in theaters in April as the first of what’s expected to be a two-part series. Lionsgate is heavily promoting the film, recently sharing teasers during the Grammy Awards and with another planned for the Super Bowl – an event where Jackson famously performed during the 1993 halftime show.

Similar to Paramount, Lionsgate has already given fans a preview, including extra footage of Jaafar Jackson alongside his uncle. Because of this, the Super Bowl ad will probably include highlights from the trailer they just released, encouraging people to watch the full trailer online.

Disney Will Offer a New Look at Pixar’s Hoppers

Disney is a regular advertiser during the Super Bowl. This year, instead of promoting its major film, Avengers: Doomsday, which will be released later in the year, they’ll be focusing on their upcoming Pixar movie, Hoppers. The film centers around what animals are really thinking, and features a teenage character named Mobel who uses technology to transfer her consciousness into a robotic beaver.

Early reviews are in for Pixar’s upcoming film, Hoppers, and the initial reaction is overwhelmingly positive.

Pixar Will Also Drop a Sneak Peek at Toy Story 5

While Pixar’s Hoppers is highly anticipated, the studio is also revisiting a classic with Toy Story 5 in June. This new installment will continue the story of Buzz and Woody, adding another chapter to their already celebrated adventures.

Although the original Toy Story trilogy concluded with the third movie, Pixar has creatively continued the series. Disney recently announced a new installment, and a trailer during the Super Bowl will offer a preview of the story, promising the same blend of fun and heartfelt moments fans have come to expect.

Disney Will Debut New Footage From The Mandalorian and Grogu

The biggest movie trailer expected at the Super Bowl is likely for The Mandalorian and Grogu. Disney’s last Star Wars trailer during the Super Bowl was for Solo, which unfortunately performed poorly in theaters. However, Disney seems to have learned from that experience and isn’t making the same marketing misstep this time, as The Mandalorian and Grogu has already been released.

The Super Bowl trailer for the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie needs to really wow audiences and show that the Disney+ series can work as a big-screen spectacle. Because so little is known about the film, Disney will likely focus on impressive visuals and might even tease a well-known character or a key plot twist. With so many movies using the Super Bowl to debut trailers, each one needs to make a strong impact, but The Mandalorian and Grogu especially needs to impress viewers after its first teaser didn’t generate much excitement.
