Super Bowl LIV: 'Top Gun': Maverick' and all the exciting new movie trailers dropping during the big game
Every year, the Super Bowl features some insane ads and trailers that are almost as entertaining as the game itself. Super Bowl LIV is no different and we're bringing you all the new trailers airing during the big game.
'Top Gun: Maverick'
Tom Cruise's upcoming sequel to his cult classic film has the fans super-stoked and the anticipation has only been kicked up a notch by the movie's TV spot during the game. The clip reveals that Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller), a pilot trainee and the son of Maverick's late RIO, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) has a vendetta against Maverick (Tom Cruise) and blames the veteran pilot for his father's death in the first movie. There's also a whole lot more flying sequences and it looks like this is going to be as much an emotional story as it is an action blockbuster. 'Top Gun: Maverick' will arrive in theaters on June 26.
'A Quiet Place: Part II'
'A Quiet Place: Part II' released a quick 30-second clip of the second installment of the hit terror thriller. While there wasn't much difference or new clips from the actual trailer, the TV-spot highlights the most important characters showing up in the film. The sequel film was written and directed by John Krasinski and stars Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe, reprising their roles from the first film. 'A Quiet Place: Part II in theaters on March 20, 2020.
'Mulan'
The trailer for Disney's live-action remake of 'Mulan' that released during Super Bowl LIV gave us some cool new footage. While we've seen glimpses of her before, Gong Li's 'Xian Lang', a powerful, shapeshifting witch gets more screentime this time around and we got to see more of her extensive powers and fighting skills as she hauntingly tells Mulan that she will die pretending to be something she is not.
We also got to see some more glimpses into Mulan's heartbreaking choice to take her father's place in the war as well as her internal conflict of being part of an army that demands honesty as part of its moral code, something we definitely did not see quite as much of in the animated film since Mulan is launched right into a war after a short training montage told through a song. Mulan is scheduled to hit theaters in the United States on March 27, 2020.
'Fast Fast & Furious 9'
It's less than 48 hours before the release of the electrifying 'Fast Fast & Furious 9' dropped and we see a 30-second spot already. The clip features all the prominent characters including Sung Kang's Han while Hallelujah blares in the background.
Sonic the Hedgehog
The new 'Sonic the Hedgehog' trailer (on Movieclips) was particularly tailored for airing during the big game with a range of sports stars including Michael Thomas and Christian McCaffrey talking about the "legend" before revealing that it's all being shot by Sonic (Ben Schwartz). We also get to see a lot more of Jim Carrey as the villainous Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Catch 'Sonic the Hedgehog' in theaters on February 14.
Black Widow
When Natasha Romanoff called the Avengers her family it tugged at everyone's heartstrings, but somehow it didn't have nearly as much of an impact as learning about her past and hearing her say "The Avengers weren't my first family." We've already gotten attached to her family and all we've seen so far are trailers! And, of course, some new character posters to go with them. Natasha's sisters Yelena Bolova and Melina Vostokoff as well as her father Alexei Shostakov all feature in this Super Bowl spot, as well as some blink-and-you'll miss it shots including the Taskmaster kicking up and throwing a shield - already sparking rumors of a secret Captain America reveal!
