The most exciting trailers that aired during Super Bowl 2024

Started in 1967, the Super Bowl is the National Football League’s (NFL) biggest sporting event of the year. Since then, the championship game has morphed into a pop culture phenomenon that has grown bigger than the sport itself. While tens of thousands tune in for the scintillating final match, the jaw-dropping half-time performances and most recently, catching Taylor Swift cheering on her beau Travis Kelce, others won’t miss the Super Bowl for the cinema. 

Every year, new first-look teasers and extended trailers for several highly anticipated films are revealed and the Super Bowl LVIII is no different. Ahead, watch eight of the biggest trailers that were aired during Super Bowl 2024, including Ariana Grande in Wicked, Deadpool 3 (now officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine), and Inside Out 2.

 

A Quiet Place: Day One

Taking the helm from writer and director John Krasinski, Michael Sarnoski takes on this cult-favourite IP by expanding on its silent universe. Set in New York City on the day of the alien invasion, A Quite Place: Day One follows Sam and her cat Frodo during their day trip to the Big Apple when chaos strikes. It stars Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Djimon Hounsou and Alex Wolff, and premieres on 28 June 2024.

 

Deadpool & Wolverine

You head it yourself, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is the “Marvel Jesus” coming to save the MCU. The Deadpool trailer marks Reynold’s third return as the anti-hero and his first official appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Keeping true to his foul-mouthed and unapologetic nature, you can bet that the Merc with a Mouth is coming for Disney’s PG-13 rating—and he won’t be doing it alone. As the title suggests, Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine and will have a significant role in the film come 26 June 2024.

It’s Dev Patel like you’ve never seen him before. Serving as both director and protagonist, Monkey Man centres on a young boy, Kid, who often gets beaten to a pulp by stronger fighters at an underground fight club for money.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Set several generations after Caesar’s reign, director Wes Ball breathes new life into the iconic trilogy that followed the fall of man and the rise of the apes.

When a young ape forms an unlikely friendship with a girl (Freya Allan), he begins to question everything he knows about the past and goes on a journey that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
