Watch all the Super Bowl movie trailers from this year’s game

Solo: A Star Wars Story "Big Game" TV Spot (:45)
The Super Bowl is over, and along with crowning the Philadelphia Eagles as champion of the 2017-18 NFL season, the game also provided one of the biggest forums for advertisers. Together with all of the commercials for beer, cars, and various other products we’ve come to associate with the Big Game, the Super Bowl also served up new trailers and footage from some of the hottest upcoming movies. We had some big trailers to get excited about this year, including Avengers: Infinity WarSolo: A Star Wars StoryJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and The Cloverfield Paradox.

Here are all the Super Bowl movie trailers released this year:

‘Avengers: Infinity War’

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War - Big Game Spot

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest professional sports events of the year, so it makes sense for the biggest event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be represented during the festivities. Infinity War brings together just about every character from Marvel’s movie-verse to date, and pits them against the villain Thanos in what is shaping up to be a brutal battle for the fate of reality itself.

Avengers: Infinity War premieres May 4.

‘The Cloverfield Paradox’

THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX | PREMIERES TONIGHT | NETFLIX

Netflix shocked everyone by not only debuting the first trailer for the third film in the Cloverfield franchise (previously known as “God Particle”), but also announcing that the film would be available on the streaming platform immediately after the game. How’s that for a surprise? The next installment of the loosely connected sci-fi series follows a group of scientists aboard the international space station caught up in a mysterious, terrifying event that somehow ties into — and possibly serves as a prequel to — the events of 2008’s original Cloverfield.

The Cloverfield Paradox will be available to watch after the game on Netflix.

‘Mission: Impossible — Fallout’

Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) - Official Trailer - Paramount Pictures

Just a week before the Super Bowl, Tom Cruise announced the title for the sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, which brings back Cruise as intrepid secret agent Ethan Hunt. Cruise himself posted a preview of the film’s trailer earlier in the week, and confirmed the full trailer would debut during the game.

Mission: Impossible — Fallout sends Ethan and the rest of his Impossible Mission Force teammates on the run after a mission goes bad, and brings Superman actor Henry Cavill into the Mission: Impossible universe, among other newcomers. We’ve already seen evidence of one of the stunts Cruise will undertake in the film.

Mission: Impossible — Fallout hits theaters July 27.

‘Skyscraper’

We haven’t seen much from this action thriller that casts Dwayne Johnson as a former FBI hostage specialist who now evaluates security at skyscrapers, but Johnson posted a teaser for the film’s official trailer on February 2, ahead of the game.

The film’s international cast also includes Neve Campbell, Chin Han, Roland Møller, Pablo Schreiber, Byron Mann, Hannah Quinlivan, and Noah Taylor. Director Rawson Thurber is no stranger to the Super Bowl, having directed the Terry Tate: Office Linebacker commercials for Reebok that aired during the 2003 game.

Skyscraper is scheduled to hit theaters July 13.

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’

Solo: A Star Wars Story "Big Game" TV Spot (:45)

We’re getting the first full new Star Wars trailer the morning after the game, but with the film’s premiere just a few months away, you can’t blame Disney and Lucasfilm for putting the film in front of one of the biggest audiences possible. Solo explores the life of everyone’s favorite shoot-first smuggler in the years leading up to his fateful encounter with Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Mos Eisley cantina. The film features two-time Academy Award winner Ron Howard behind the camera after the exit of original filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and Hail, Caesar! actor Alden Ehrenreich in the role of a young Han Solo.

Solo: A Star Wars Story premieres May 25.

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Official Trailer #2 [HD]

With NBC broadcasting this year’s game, sister studio Universal had a big presence during the game’s valuable between-the-game moments — and no upcoming project is bigger for the studio than the sequel to 2015’s Jurassic World. The sequel brings back Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as well as Jeff Goldblum, who will reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm, a central character from 1993’s Jurassic Park and its 1997 follow-up, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Like its predecessor, Fallen Kingdom is co-written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, but Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage, A Monster Calls) takes over as director. The first trailer for the film debuted in December 2017.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is scheduled to hit theaters June 22.

‘A Quiet Place’

A Quiet Place (2018) - Big Game Spot - Paramount Pictures

This supernatural thriller follows a family that must keep quiet at all times to avoid a mysterious, sinister entity lurking outside their home’s walls. Everything we’ve seen of the film so far is appropriately creepy, and the film stars real-life married couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. It’s also co-written and directed by Krasinski.

A Quiet Place hits theaters April 16.

‘Red Sparrow’

Red Sparrow | "She's Out of Your League" TV Commercial | 20th Century FOX

Jennifer Lawrence plays a former ballerina who becomes a lethal secret agent in this thriller that reunites the Oscar-winning actress with director Francis Lawrence, who directed her in the final three installments of the Hunger Games franchise. The film co-stars Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeremy Irons.

Red Sparrow premieres March 2, 2018.

Updated on February 4: Added the Super Bowl trailer for Avengers: Infinity War.

The 10 most popular movies on Netflix right now
A woman points a gun and stares.

Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, with nearly 250 million subscribers. And just what do those people tend to watch? In particular, what is the most popular movie on Netflix? Each week, the streaming service releases a list of its 10 most-watched movies over a recent seven-day period to keep subscribers in the loop regarding its most popular titles.

Zack Snyder is back in the top 10 with Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, the second film in his space opera series. Despite Snyder's popularity, the new Rebel Moon film could not unseat What Jennifer Did, which is the No. 1 movie for the second straight week. New additions to the top 10 include the comedy Knocked Up at No. 8 and the action movie Anna at No. 2. Below, we've listed the top 10 movies in the U.S. from April 15 to April 21, along with general information about each film, such as genre, rating, cast, and synopsis.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
