The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is known for its grand entrances and strategic Super Bowl trailer reveals, but this year, it seems like the universe is taking a different path. With the highly anticipated releases of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, fans were expecting a grand reveal during the Super Bowl, but it seems like Marvel has other plans.
According to Deadline, Marvel has no trailers scheduled for the Super Bowl, which is a shocking turn of events. The question on everyone's mind is: Why? Many fans were expecting an official trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, considering the teasers that hit theaters during screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash. But it seems like Marvel is choosing to break its Super Bowl tradition this year.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which arrives first, won't get a Super Bowl trailer either. While the MCU has been promoting Doomsday, there has been almost no promotion for the new Spider-Man movie. One would think that a big Super Bowl trailer would get people excited about the upcoming Marvel release, but it seems like Marvel is taking a different approach this time.
So, what movie trailers can fans expect to see during the Super Bowl? While Marvel is skipping the event, there are still plenty of big trailers to look forward to. Lionsgate is bringing the trailer for their Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, and Dimension is releasing a new trailer for Scream 7.
Disney, on the other hand, is releasing trailers for The Mandalorian and Grogu, as well as the Pixar movie Hoppers. While it's not confirmed, Toy Story 5 could also get a trailer. Other trailers scheduled include Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Minions 3, and Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day.
Looking at the release dates, it seems like Marvel might have felt it was too soon to pay the high cost of a Super Bowl trailer spot, considering Spider-Man: Brand New Day won't be out until July and Avengers: Doomsday in December. But what do you think? Is Marvel breaking its Super Bowl tradition for a good reason, or are fans missing out on a grand reveal? Leave a comment below and join the conversation in the ComicBook Forum!
