Super Bowl 2021 might have disappointed some football fans with its one-sided scoreline and countless penalties but it left film TV fans wanting more with some exciting and exhilarating trailers. Several films’ and series’ trailers like Clarice, Old, Raya and the Last Dragon, Nobody, Yellowstone, F9 were released but Timothée Chalamet’s Cadillac’s ad stole the show. Here’s a roundup of what’s making news from the Super Bowl.
Timothée Chalamet plays Edward Scissorhands' son, Edgar Scissorhands, in Cadillac's Super Bowl Ad
Timothée Chalamet was joined by Winona Ryder in a highly interesting advertisement for the self-driving Cadillac. The ad featured Timothée as Edward Scissorhands’ son Edgar Scissorhands. Winona Ryder reprises her role from Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands as Edward's love interest, Kim Boggs, who is now the mother of Edgar. Much like his father, Edgar struggles with everyday life as he has scissors for hands. He accidently pierces a football and becomes a magnet during science class and shreds the bell on the bus. Banned from taking public transport, Edgar’s mom has the perfect solution for her son- she buys him the self-driving Cadillac, much to his happiness who realizes that his sharp hands cannot damage the car.

F9
F9 - the next Fast & Furious movie- received a new trailer at the Super Bowl, with Universal Pictures hoping for a global release on May 28.

The 30-second TV spot for the next Fast & Furious movie opens with a family reunion in the Toretto garden, where everyone is seemingly present: Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Ludacris), Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), Megan Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), and — somehow — Han Lue (Sung Kang), who died in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.The film also stars Charlize TheronJohn Cena, Helen Mirren, Bow Wow, Jason Tobin, Cardi B, Anna Sawai, Michael Rooker, Finn Cole, Vinnie Bennett, Ozuna, and Francis Ngannou.

The graphic novel Sandcastle on which Old is based is written by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters and focuses on a group of people who find themselves unable to leave a strange and secluded beach that – we soon discover – hides a terrifying secret: those gathered are ageing at a rapid pace.
