A handful of new trailers for some of 2025’s most anticipated movies are expected to premiere during commercial breaks of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX. The 2025 Super Bowl will begin at 6:30 PM Eastern Time on Sunday, February 9, 2025, and will be broadcast exclusively on FOX.

Compton-based rapper and 22-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Since Disney, Paramount, and Universal are the only major Hollywood studios reported to have purchased 2025 Super Bowl ad space (via ᴅᴇᴀᴅline), the list of new release trailers can be narrowed down to roughly a dozen тιтles. While there are bound to be a few surprises during the broadcast, some of the most anticipated movies of 2025 are nearly guaranteed to release new trailers.

Elio

Release Date: June 13, 2025

Elio is the highly anticipated 29th film made by Pixar, the animated company known for Toy Story, The Incredibles, and many other modern animated classics.

Written and directed by Adrian Molina, Elio follows its young тιтular protagonist as he journeys to outer space and meets alien lifeforms. While still mostly targeted at kids and families, Elio plans to push Pixar’s genre and ratings boundaries, which would make it one of the more progressive films in Pixar’s arsenal.

A trailer for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is also expected to make an appearance on FOX during Super Bowl Sunday 2025.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

Release Date: May 23, 2025

The wait for the eighth installment of Tom Cruise’s larger-than-life Mission: Impossible movie franchise is almost over. A direct sequel to 2023’s Mission: Impossible – ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Reckoning, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning could mark the end of Cruise portraying his celebrated action hero, Ethan Hunt. Skydance Media and Paramount Pictures have already released a trailer for Final Reckoning. It will most certainly be broadcast during Super Bowl Sunday.

Cruise will return as Ethan Hunt alongside Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Holt McCallany. Whether its trailer plays during Super Bowl LIX or not, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning should be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025.
