The best and biggest movie trailers from Super Bowl 2025

The Super Bowl is as much about the spectacle as it is about the football. That tradition of spectacle includes the commercials: Super Bowl ads tend to be big swings, featuring a lot of celebrities and attention-grabbing ploys. That usually includes movie trailers for the year’s upcoming blockbusters (and hopeful blockbusters). In recent years, though, Super Bowl movie trailers have become short teasers for the full-length ads playing online. Super Bowl LIX (still in process as of this posting) has been a big showcase for superheroes, live-action remakes of animated movies, dinosaurs, and Tom Cruise, but so far, only in 30-second spots that point to longer trailers online.

Here are all the big (albeit short) movie trailers from this year’s Super Bowl, some of which were released well in advance of The Big Game:

Thunderbolts*

Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* got a very short TV spot during the Super Bowl itself, but that was just a taste of the much longer trailer. A new look at Marvel’s new ragtag team of misfits and kinda-bad guys offers us a clearer look at its kinda-big-bad guy, Sentry, a Superman-like with a complicated backstory.

Thunderbolts* is coming to theaters on May 2. By then, we’re sure to know what that asterisk is all about.

Jurassic World Rebirth

We got our first look at Jurassic World Rebirth a few days before Super Bowl LIX, but a new Big Game Spot shows a little bit more of the relaunched franchise. Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali lead the new Jurassic World movie, which sends an extraction team to the island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, which is inhabited by the “worst of the worst” dinos.

Jurassic World Rebirth roars into theaters on July 2.

Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning

Again, the Super Bowl spot for Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning is just a taste of a longer, already released trailer, but it has the No. 1 thing you want: Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a plane. The eighth Mission: Impossible movie, a direct sequel to 2023’s  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, is coming to movie theaters on May 23.

How to Train Your Dragon

The Big Game Spot for DreamWorks’ live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon is a trailer… for a trailer! But unlike other movie studios that want you to immediately run to YouTube for the longer version, Universal is hoping you’ll check back in on Wednesday, when the full trailer for How to Train Your Dragon drops. For now, enjoy the live-action (and CGI) versions of Hiccup and Toothless while you wait.

How to Train Your Dragon hits movie theaters on June 13.

Novocaine

The Boys’ star Jack Quaid leads a new action-thriller with a fun premise: Quaid’s character Nate Caine can’t feel any pain, so his incredibly violent mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend, played by Prey star Amber Midthunder, leaves him feeling nothing. Nate gets stabbed, shot, and beaten up, but shrugs it off. The guy even deep-fries his hand at one point, just to let you know what you’re in for.

Novocaine hits movie theaters on March 14.

Lilo & Stitch

Disney’s spot for the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake is less of a traditional movie trailer and more of an on-the-field appreciation of the adorable Stitch. If you want more of that cuteness, you may want to catch up on the previous Lilo & Stitch trailer that dropped late last year.

Lilo & Stitch comes to theaters on May 23.

Smurfs

The new Smurfs movie stars John Goodman as the voice of Papa Smurf, who is captured by evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel, sending the Smurfs on a rescue mission. The voice cast includes Rihanna (as Smurfette), James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, and Kurt Russell.
