Super Bowl 2026 Trailers: Mandalorian, Scream 7 & More

Super Bowl LX (2026) lived up to its reputation as Hollywood’s biggest marketing stage, with studios shelling out millions for $8–10 million spots to tease 2026’s most anticipated blockbusters. While superhero films took a backseat, the game featured a mix of sci-fi epics, sequels, animations, and auteur-driven projects. Highlights included fresh looks at The Mandalorian & Grogu, Project Hail Mary, Disclosure Day, Scream 7, and more. Here’s a breakdown of the major reveals, what they showed, and why fans are buzzing.

The Mandalorian & Grogu (In Theaters May 22, 2026)

Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, this marks the first big-screen Star Wars adventure since The Rise of Skywalker. The Super Bowl spot was a light, nostalgic tease rather than a full trailer—showing the duo in a snowy landscape with tauntauns, voiced over in a style reminiscent of classic Budweiser ads (complete with Sam Elliott-style narration in some reports). It emphasized heart, humor, and the unbreakable bond between the Mandalorian bounty hunter and his Force-sensitive adopted son, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).

Fan reactions were mixed: some loved the charm and pop-culture nod, while others wanted more action footage after the film’s earlier D23 teaser. Disney’s strategy appears to lean on Grogu’s massive popularity as a “phenomenon” to remind audiences of the fun ahead. Expect high box-office potential as the first theatrical Star Wars film in years.

Project Hail Mary (In Theaters March 20, 2026)

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), this adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel (The Martian follow-up) starred Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a school teacher-turned-astronaut racing to save Earth from a dying sun—teaming up with an adorable rock-like alien named Rocky.

The Super Bowl delivered what many called the game’s standout trailer: a full, dazzling sequence highlighting the interplanetary bromance, stunning space visuals, and high-stakes drama. Co-starring Sandra Hüller, it built on prior trailers by emphasizing emotional depth and spectacle. Critics praised the scale and Gosling’s performance, positioning it as a potential sci-fi hit with awards buzz.

Disclosure Day (In Theaters June 12, 2026)

Steven Spielberg’s return to sci-fi delivered an alien conspiracy thriller with Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and more. The spot teased a massive UFO emerging through clouds in Independence Day-esque fashion, blending mystery, foreboding sounds, and questions about extraterrestrial contact (“The truth belongs to seven billion people”).

Timed perfectly amid rising UFO interest, it kept much under wraps but built intrigue without over-revealing. Spielberg’s involvement guarantees spectacle, and the original IP makes it a fresh summer blockbuster contender.

Other Notable Super Bowl Spots

• Scream 7 (February 27, 2026): Ghostface returns to torment Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and loved ones in a tense, bloody tease—aiming for a final hype push ahead of its near-term release.
• The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 2026): A fun “Level Up” spot ramped up epic Bowser Jr. conflict and colorful chaos for family audiences.
• Minions & Monsters (Summer 2026): The franchise’s chaotic humor shone in a dialogue-light, monster-filled romp—positioning it as reliable animated gold.
• The Adventures of Cliff Booth (Netflix, 2026): Brad Pitt reprises his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood role in this David Fincher-directed, Quentin Tarantino-penned sequel—stylish, meta, and teasing Hollywood secrets (with a cheeky nod to network TV censorship).
• Additional teases included Supergirl, Masters of the Universe, and Hoppers (Pixar’s original with a star-studded voice cast).

Super Bowl 2026 emphasized spectacle, nostalgia, and emotional hooks over superhero fatigue. With releases spanning March to summer, these trailers set the stage for a blockbuster year.
