Super Bowl 2026 Movie Trailers: First Looks at ‘Scream 7’, ‘Disclosure Day’, and DC’s ‘Supergirl’

While the Seahawks were busy dominating the field, Hollywood was busy taking over the commercial breaks. Super Bowl LX featured a curated but high-impact list of movie trailers, ranging from nostalgic horror returns to massive sci-fi spectacles. In a year where some traditional studios sat out, streamers and independent giants stepped up to fill the void.

At TruthRoute, we’ve rounded up every major teaser that dropped during the Big Game, including the surprise Netflix announcement that had social media buzzing and the “Puppy Bowl” teaser that gave us our first look at a certain super-powered canine.

The Biggest Surprise: Netflix’s ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’

The most shocking moment of the night didn’t happen on the turf. Netflix stunned viewers by dropping the first teaser for The Adventures of Cliff Booth. This is the unexpected follow-up to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, with Brad Pitt reprising his Oscar-winning role.

  • The Twist: While Tarantino wrote the script, David Fincher is in the director’s chair, marking a legendary reunion between Fincher and Pitt (Fight Club, Se7en).
  • The Plot: Set in 1977 (nearly a decade after the original), the film follows Cliff Booth’s journey as a Hollywood “fixer.”

DC vs. Marvel: A Tale of Two Strategies

In a surprising move, Marvel Studios entirely skipped Super Bowl 2026, choosing to save their budget for individual digital drops later this Spring. This left the door wide open for DC Studios to own the conversation.

DC took a “niche” approach by debuting a 47-second teaser for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow during the Puppy Bowl. The spot featured Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, but the real star was Krypto the Superdog. The footage showed a young, grubby Krypto being found by Kara in the ruins of Argo City, setting an emotional, gritty tone for the film’s June 26, 2026, release.

Sci-Fi Dominance: Spielberg and ‘Project Hail Mary’

Fans of high-concept science fiction were the real winners of the night. We saw two major trailers that look to dominate the 2026 box office:

1. Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’

Spielberg returns to the UFO genre for the first time in over two decades with Disclosure Day. The teaser was heavy on atmosphere, showing Emily Blunt and Colin Firth in a world on the brink of undeniable proof that we are not alone. The tagline: “This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people.”

Release Date: June 12, 2026.

2. ‘Project Hail Mary’ (Amazon MGM)

Based on the best-selling novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), this teaser showed Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, an astronaut who wakes up with no memory on a spaceship. The “money shot” of the trailer featured the first voice-reveal of the alien character “Rocky,” created using cutting-edge practical puppetry.

Release Date: March 20, 2026.

Horror & Animation: Scream 7 and Pixar

For those who prefer thrills or family fun, two other spots stood out:

  • Scream 7: Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott is back, but the teaser reveals the focus has shifted to her daughter (Isabel May), who is now being targeted by a Ghostface “out for blood like never before.” It hits theaters February 27, 2026.
  • Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’: A vibrant 30-second spot introduced us to Mabel, a girl who “hops” her consciousness into a robotic beaver to talk to animals. It looks like classic Pixar heart mixed with futuristic tech. Release Date: March 6, 2026.
