Update: Watch all the trailers that aired during 2022's Super Bowl LVI right here.
Super Bowl LVI pits the Los Angeles Rams against the Cincinnati Bengals - and here's every trailer to expect at 2022's big game on February 13th. The Super Bowl has a long and illustrious history of premiering massively popular movie trailers that generate significant buzz, with the MCU's 10 Cloverfield Lane just two explosive previews debuted at the game in recent years. 2022's Super Bowl LVI promises to be no different, with a host of highly anticipated trailers set to be revealed.
2022's Super Bowl LVI, perhaps more than any other in recent memory, will contain a huge number of prominent cinematic release trailers. This is due to the vast majority of Hollywood studios withholding their respective movie trailers from 2021's Super Bowl preview roster as many domestic cinemas remained closed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This has seen a scramble to obtain a limited number of trailer slots for Super Bowl 2022, with broadcaster NBC charging $6.5 million per 30-second advertising slot.
As a result, Super Bowl LVI audiences are in for a treat as multiple prominent studios vie for attention during the sporting competition's much-vaunted commercial breaks. While Super Bowl LVI's commercials may yet throw up some surprise additions to its roster, the expected previews from Universal, Paramount, Disney, and Netflix's studios appear to provide more than enough entertainment value outside of the game itself. Here's every trailer to expect at 2022's Super Bowl LVI.
The Adam Project
the Netflix sci-fi movie set to release less than a month after 2022's Super Bowl is contested.
Jurassic World: Dominion
NBC airing Super Bowl LVI means its partner company Universal is almost nailed-on to be one of the biggest Super Bowl media beneficiaries in 2022. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's trailer. Incidentally, Jurassic World: Dominion is set four years after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and will depict humans and dinosaurs enjoying an uneasy co-existence in modern-day America.
Minions: The Rise Of Gru
Another bankable trailer for Super Bowl LVI is Universal's Minions sequel can attract the same kind of immediate draw, especially given the lack of animated features competing against it in of expected 2022 Super Bowl trailers. Minions: The Rise of Gru will focus on a 12-year-old Gru (Steve Carrell) living in the suburbs who hatches a dastardly plan to his favorite supervillain group, The Vicious 6.
Nope
While nowhere near as certain an inclusion as Universal's other two slated trailers, Jordan Peele's 10 Cloverfield Lane in 2016, Nope could well be exactly the same kind of talking point that audiences do not see coming.
The Lost City
One of Universal studios' main advertising rivals at Super Bowl LVI arrives in the form of Paramount Pictures, who themselves have three trailers expected to be showcased at the sporting event. The first of these is highly anticipated comedy The Lost City would benefit greatly from prominent Super Bowl exposure given its March 25th release date.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Sonic The Hedgehog and will see Sonic (Ben Schwartz), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) attempt to thwart the evil Doctor Eggman (Jim Carrey) once again.
Top Gun: Maverick
Paramount's final touted trailer is also the most likely to feature given both leading man Tom Cruise's and the film itself are ongoing Super Bowl association. Cruise already starred in a Bengals-Chief promo trailer during 2022's AFC title game, while Given Top Gun: Maverick's shifted release, therefore, this seems like a very safe bet indeed for Super Bowl LVI coverage and will see Cruise return to the iconic role that cemented him as a household name in 1986.
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Alongside Universal and Paramount, Disney also has three prominent trailers touted to be unveiled at this year's event. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one of these, with Benedict Cumberbatch's return as the former Sorcerer Supreme a highly anticipated event. The MCU, and by extension Disney, has a long-standing history contributing big, talking-point trailers to the Super Bowl commercial roster, and 2022 looks to be no different in this regard.
Lightyear
Toy Story character, instead telling the fictional origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the character who inspired the action figure in the Toy Story franchise.
Moon Knight
Disney may well use its third Super Bowl LVI spot to its Disney+ exclusive series, Moon Knight will follow Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), a mercenary drawn into a deadly mystery involving the Egyptian gods.
Bel-Air
Universal has one final ace up its sleeve in the form of the new series Bel-Air, which will be distributed by their sub-division and streaming service Peacock on the day of the Super Bowl itself. Acting as a prequel to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the new Peacock original is set to chronicle Will Smith's complicated journey from the streets of Philadelphia to the Banks family's gated mansion he eventually finds himself in. Given the fact Bel-Air's premiere airs directly after Super Bowl LVI, expect Universal to heavily promote their ambitious reboot of the original beloved sitcom during the game.
