Super Bowl Movie Spots: F1, Novocaine, Thunderbolts, How to Train Your Dragon and more!

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and as usual, Hollywood is rolling out all the big guns in terms of spots teasing the year’s biggest releases. Keep your eye on this post as we keep track of all the movie spots right here!

F1

One of the riskiest movies of the year is, without a doubt, F1. A giant-budget movie about Formula One racing, it marks Joseph Kosinski’s much-anticipated follow-up to Top Gun: Maverick, and boasts an all-star cast led by Brad Pitt. In it, he plays a former champ who re-enters F1 racing to mentor a younger driver (Damon Idris) at the behest of his old sponsor, played by Javier Bardem. Sporting a budget that’s somewhere in the $300 million range, in order for this movie to turn a profit it probably has to make about $700-800 million worldwide, numbers Brad Pitt has never mustered throughout his career, with World War Z’s $540 million remaining his top-earner. 

Produced by Apple, the film certainly has a lot going for it, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing, a score by Hans Zimmer, as well as the fact that it’s getting an IMAX release. Given Formula One’s popularity overseas, the hope is that even if the movie only performs modestly in North America, it’ll be a worldwide smash. The highest-grossing racing movie to date is Ford V Ferrari, which made $225 million worldwide. 

Novocaine:

Next up, Jack Quaid makes the leap from The Boys to the big screen with his stab at action movie stardom – Novocaine. In this cool-sounding flick, Quaid plays a mild-mannered bank executive with a unique condition – he’s unable to feel pain. When the girl of his dreams (Prey‘s Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped in a heist gone awry, he uses his condition to his advantage as he turns into an unstoppable action hero trying to save her from a gang of thieves.

Lilo & Stitch:

While we didn’t get the Lilo & Stitch trailer, we all thought, Disney did indeed give us a sneak peek at their upcoming live-action remake, with our furry protagonist invading the Super Bowl, giving us a look at a creature which will no doubt sell a whole lot of toys this year.

Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning

Tom Cruise is back for what might be his last go-round as Ethan Hunt in a new teaser for Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning, which ends with a nifty tease of one of the movie’s big action setpieces, which seems to have been shot in an IMAX aspect ratio. Very, very cool.

How to Train Your Dragon:

While a full trailer for the How to Train Your Dragon remake drops Wednesday, this thirty-second sneak peek gives us a fresh look at the much-anticipated movie’s scale, revealing it was shot for IMAX screens.

Thunderbolts*

One movie that did get a full trailer is Marvel’s Thunderbolts*, which is the next MCU movie to come out (after this week’s Captain America: Brave New World), with the trailer giving us a good look at the movie’s ensemble cast and tone (gotta love the use of Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us”).

Jurassic World: Rebirth

Given that the full trailer just dropped days ago, there’s not too much new here other than a nifty peak at a new underwater dinosaur who, no doubt, will eat one of our lower-billed heroes of the cast for lunch (my money is on Rupert Friend, who seems to be playing an antagonist).
