Super Bowl is on the brink of
arrival and with it, it hopes to bring its long-lost friend, the box office,
back from the purgatory. Super Bowl offered Hollywood a key to the American
population’s undivided attention, giving them the opportunity to air roughly 30-second-
long commercials and movie trailers during half-time. The pandemic may have hit
the box office, pushing release dates, but the Super Bowl, starting February 7,
offers a nearly five-million-dollar chance to showcase the best of commercials
and cinema.

Here are some of the movie
trailers and commercials expected to premiere at the Super Bowl:

1.     
Venom: Let There
Be Carnage

Initially
intended to hit the theatres in North America on October 2, 2020, the release
of ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ was pushed ahead to June 25, 2021, courtesy
the coronavirus pandemic. It is one of the few films whose trailer will be
exhibited at the biggest event on television. Andy Serkis, who replaced Ruben
Fleishcer, the director of ‘Venom’ will stun the spectators with his
motion-capture experience to the film. The trailer shows a short glimpse of the
popular Marvel villain, Carnage, building anticipation for the movie.

Old

M. Night
Shyamalan has resorted to a new technique to drum up hype for his latest
thriller ‘Old.’ Five days ago, Shyamalan took to Twitter to provide a glance
into his film and started a countdown, hinting that its trailer might premiere
at the Super Bowl. A Universal Pictures production, the film is based on Pierre
Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ ‘Sandcastle’ graphic novel. ‘Old’ is expected
to hit the theatres on July 23, 2021.

Cheetos

Football
without Cheetos is definitely a deal-breaker. For this reason, Cheetos will air
its commercial at the Super Bowl. The ad features Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher,
trying to find out who stole his all-time snack. Shaggy comes to rescue with his
wisdom, saying, “It wasn’t me.”

5.    
Coming 2 America

Amazon Prime
Video has refused to bow down to the pandemic as it looks forward to air the
trailer of the highly anticipated ‘Coming 2 America’ at NFL’s biggest game of
the year. The movie is a sequel to the 1988 film, bringing together Eddie
Murphy and Arsenio Hall for a wonderful cinematic experience. The film is
expected to release on March 5, 2021.

Buckle up audience, you’re in for a long ride.
