Super Bowl 2026 Movie Trailers

Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026) wasn’t just about the Seahawks-Patriots matchup — it also dropped a handful of movie trailers that leaned away from the typical tentpole spectacle and into surprisingly niche, quirky, and genre-specific territory. These ads didn’t have the biggest budgets or A-list casts, but they generated outsized buzz online for their weirdness, creativity, and cult appeal.Most Niche & Unexpected Super Bowl 2026 Movie Trailers“The Monkey” (Stephen King adaptation) 30-second teaser for Osgood Perkins’ horror-comedy based on King’s short story. Showed a cursed toy monkey causing chaos — creepy, funny, and instantly memeable. Release: March 2026 (theatrical). Reaction: “This looks deranged in the best way” trended on X. “Mickey 17” (Bong Joon-ho sci-fi) Quick, mind-bending clip of Robert Pattinson as a “disposable” colonist who keeps dying and regenerating. Bong’s trademark dark humor + surreal visuals stood out among typical action trailers. Release: April 2026. Fans called it “the weirdest Super Bowl spot in years.” “The Shrouds” (David Cronenberg) 15-second teaser for Cronenberg’s latest body-horror drama starring Vincent Cassel. Disturbing imagery of tech fused with grief — very Cronenberg, very niche. Release: Summer 2026 (limited). Horror fans lost it: “Cronenberg got Super Bowl money?!” “A Minecraft Movie” Unexpected live-action trailer with Jack Black as Steve and Jason Momoa. Blocky CGI + real-world chaos — divisive but highly memeable. Release: April 2026. Viral reaction: “This either looks genius or cursed — no in-between.” “Mufasa: The Lion King” Short but emotional teaser focusing on young Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) and Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr.). Less expected than a typical Disney spot — felt more intimate and dramatic. Release: December 2026 (holiday window). Why These Stood OutNiche appeal — Horror, sci-fi, and video game adaptations usually don’t get Super Bowl slots. Unexpected tone — Dark humor, surrealism, and emotional depth contrasted with typical high-octane action ads. Viral potential — Clips spread fast on TikTok, X, and Reddit — especially The Monkey and Minecraft.
