Get ready for a cinematic showdown like no other—Super Bowl LX is here, and it’s bringing a barrage of blockbuster trailers that could redefine your 2026 watchlist! But here’s where it gets controversial: while Hollywood’s biggest names are gearing up for their annual spectacle, some major players are sitting this one out. Marvel, Netflix, Apple, and Warner Bros. are reportedly skipping the trailer frenzy, leaving fans to wonder: Is this a strategic retreat or a sign of shifting priorities? And this is the part most people miss—even with these no-shows, the lineup is still packed with jaw-dropping reveals.
For starters, Star Wars enthusiasts are crossing their fingers for a sneak peek at The Mandalorian and Grogu, while gamers-turned-cinephiles are eagerly awaiting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. But that’s not all—The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Disclosure Day, and a highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic are also expected to steal the spotlight. We’ll be breaking down every trailer live, so keep this page on speed dial for the latest updates. (And while you’re at it, check out our live list of the best Super Bowl commercials here.)
But wait—there’s a twist! Warner Bros. may be MIA from the main event, but DC dropped a bombshell during the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. A 47-second Supergirl teaser introduced Krypto, the superpowered pup, alongside glimpses of Kara Zor-El’s final days on Krypton. It’s a clever move that proves you don’t need the Super Bowl to make waves. Speaking of waves, Pixar’s Hoppers made a splash with its 30-second spot, showcasing its whimsical person-turned-beaver narrative and a menagerie of critters that’ll leave you grinning. Catch it in theaters March 6, 2026.
And then there’s Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s UFO thriller, which gave audiences their first glimpse of extraterrestrial contact during the game. Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth, the trailer amps up the action while keeping the story tightly under wraps. Mark your calendars for June 12, 2026—this one’s a game-changer.
But here’s the burning question: With so many studios opting out, is the Super Bowl losing its grip as Hollywood’s ultimate trailer launchpad? Or is this just a blip in the radar? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear your take! Developing…
