Your support makes all the difference.Despite the Super Bowl often being an opportune moment for studios to release their biggest trailers (the viewership almost always tops 100 million in the United States alone), Disney has reportedly decided against showcasing one of their biggest upcoming films.
According to Deadline, the trailer for the ninth main-saga Star Wars film – which currently does not have a proper title – will not show during the Super Bowl this year.
Last year, the studio unleashed the first trailer for their Han Solo spin-off during the event, but they apparently believe that Star Wars IX can generate enough chatter on its own.
However, that does not mean other franchise films will not be making an appearance during the Super Bowl.
The publication also notes that the trailer for the upcoming Fast and Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, will debut. There are also clips expected of Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, Dumbo, Aladdin and Toy Story 4.
Warner Bros studio are reportedly not showing any trailers, while Fox have remained silent on the situation. With the going rate for 30 seconds of airtime being between $5.1 million and $5.3 million, you can understand why.
The Super Bowl takes place 3 February.
