From Thunderbolts to F1: All the new movie trailers unveiled during the Super Bowl
Sunday night's Super Bowl may have been dominated by talk of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, but the much-hyped sporting event also saw the debut of several new movie trailers.
Films including Tom Cruise thriller Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, comedy-horror sequel M3GAN 2.0, new Marvel blockbuster Thunderbolts* and Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch remake were among the films to be previewed during the telecast.
The Super Bowl itself, meanwhile, resulted in a one-sided victory by the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Taylor Swift, who attended the match to watch her partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in action, was booed by members of the crowd, while Lamar's half-time show was also disrupted by a protester who crashed the stage waving the flags of Palestine and Sudan.
Here's a rundown of all the movie trailers to have debuted during this year's Super Bowl.
F1
Brad Pitt stars as a retired racing pro yanked out of retirement to mentor a younger up-and-comer in this motoring drama directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick).
How to Train Your Dragon
This live-action adaptation of the hit children's fantasy series focuses on Hiccup, a young Viking (Mason Thames) who tames and befriends a dragon. Gerard Butler reprises his role as Hiccup's father Stoick the Vast, having previously voiced the character in the animated versions.
Jurassic World Rebirth
The seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise, Rebirth is a soft reboot set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion (2022). Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey front the human cast, while the new trailer gives a look at some of the dinosaurs they're up against.
Lilo & Stitch
Another live-action remake – this time adapting Disney's 2002 sci-fi animation Lilo & Stitch. This new version stars child actor Maia Kealoha as Lilo, the young Hawaiian girl who meets and befriends an eccentric alien, voiced by animator Chris Sanders.
M3gan 2.0
The original M3gan – a daft, camp comedy-horror about a killer robot that looks like a human child – was a resounding hit with audiences, and this sequel, which flips the script Terminator 2 -style and pits a now-good M3gan against another, more evil robot named Amelia.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in this much-hyped sequel to 2022's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Will it be Cruise's final outing as the death-defying spy? At the moment, it's anyone's guess.
Smurfs
This children's animation boasts an all-star cast, including Rihanna, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Dan Levy, James Corden, Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Sandra Oh, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman.
Thunderbolts*
This ensemble film, which takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stars Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Olga Kurylenko and Wyatt Russell.

‘We were all pretty privileged': Allison Williams on Girls, nepo babies and toxic momfluencers
If you had wandered the set of the film M3gan 2.0 last year, chances are you would have stumbled into M3gan, the terrifying humanoid doll, staring lifelessly while she waited to be called for her next scene. Sometimes she would stand in the corner of the soundstage, says Allison Williams with a nervy laugh. 'The dilemma is: do you turn her around so she's facing the wall, or do you let her face the room? Both answers are wrong.' In the sequel to the sci-fi horror M3gan, Williams resumes her role as Gemma, a roboticist who has become a crusader against rampant and reckless AI development after her creation – developed for her orphaned niece – became murderous. (She is also a producer on the second film.) Acting opposite M3gan was unsettling, says Williams, speaking over a video call from a hotel room in New York. Sometimes she was played by the 15-year-old dancer Amie Donald, but often she was a robotic doll, animated by a small team. 'When she's been working for a while, her eyelids can get sticky,' says Williams. M3gan's handlers would paint lubricant on to her eyeballs with a brush and Williams would have to catch herself: 'She's not flinching and for a second you're like: 'Ugh.' Then you remember: this is not a live thing.' Still best known for her first role as Marnie in Lena Dunham's landmark TV series Girls, Williams has gravitated towards comedy-tinged horror in recent years. Her first post-Girls film role was in the Oscar-winning dark comedy horror Get Out. It and M3gan were relatively low-budget projects that became cultural phenomena – Get Out for its commentary on racial politics, M3gan for what it says about the dangers of AI (as well as the uncanniness of M3gan herself). Williams has long been interested in AI – she knows Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, who put her in touch with robotics experts when she was researching the role of Gemma. The film raises questions not only about the danger of rogue AI, but about the ethical concerns –including how we should feel about the 'rights' of devices. 'It's easy to imbue anything that has AI in it with humanity. Like our little robot vacuum we have at our house; I often feel it's doing all this labour and being overlooked.' Does she worry that her job will be taken by AI in the not-too-distant future? She laughs. 'If you ask me any question that starts with: 'Are you worried?' the answer is always yes, because I have an endless capacity to be worried about things.' But it's possible, she says, that humans in acting, or any other job, are not special or unique and that 'we will all be seamlessly replaced. But so far, especially in the arts, I haven't yet had an experience that's supposed to mimic a human output that has felt seamlessly human to me – and who knows if that's going to be true for ever. For now, it's towards the bottom of the list of things I worry about.' She smiles. 'But it's not not on the list of things I worry about.' M3gan raises questions about the tech to which we expose our children. 'You wouldn't give your child cocaine,' says Gemma in M3gan 2.0. 'Why would you give them a smartphone?' Williams' son is three and she is wary of it. 'He has so many questions and they're incredible; I often don't know the answers.' The other day, she says, she used ChatGPT to answer one about rocket launches. 'Watching what happened to his face was like when Gemma sees her niece interacting with M3gan. Like, I have connected my kid to a drug, this is so immediately addictive and intoxicating.' She quickly put her phone away and made a mental note to go to the library next time to get out a book. 'I can't justify it, logically,' she says. 'It just felt like an innate instinct.' Parenting is the central theme of the new podcast Williams launched this month with two friends, Hope Kremer, an early childhood educator, and Jaymie Oppenheim, a therapist. It came out of a group chat in which just about everything to do with motherhood, ageing and life in general was discussed. A future episode is about the guilt many mothers feel, which is also a theme in M3gan 2.0. Will our expectations of mothers ever change? 'Oh God, I hope so,' says Williams. 'The guilt, I think, is most potent in the absence of a community where you can voice the things that you feel guilt about. I think the guilt around what kind of parent we all are is something that only survives as long as we hold each other to insane standards and expectations.' She is, she says, 'filled with rage about the majority of Instagram and TikTok 'mom content' – the aspirational version of it, anyway. I think it's poisonous [and] it really only exists to make people feel bad about themselves, maybe under the guise of wanting to motivate people, but the impact is so painful.' She laughs as she describes the dishonesty of an influencer making a perfect packed lunch, filled with nutritious food – because it's actually 4pm, perhaps, or because they have nannies – that makes other parents, primarily mothers, feel as if they are failing. 'I would be in a puddle on the ground if we didn't have the nanny that we have, who is the reason my husband is shooting in London right now and I'm here,' says Williams. 'None of this is possible without her, and we're so grateful. I'm just like, show your work. Show me a clock. Like, what day was this filmed?' She is laughing, but she is on a roll. 'I cannot stand artifice about creating an expectation of what someone should be able to achieve that is totally unreasonable. Who is that helping?' On another episode, she says, they discuss ageing and unrealistic beauty standards: 'I talk about my love for Botox when I'm not filming, because, you know, you need to make facial expressions when you're shooting.' She laughs. 'But, right now, there's not a ton I can do with my forehead. But the idea that someone would look at me and be, like: 'I should be capable of that forehead.' No, you shouldn't! I'm not better than you because I have no wrinkles there, I just paid to put chemicals in my face. Let's be real about this.' I always think it's quite an achievement for famous people to hang on to pre-fame friends, once acclaim and money start getting in the way. Is it important to have 'normal' friends? 'I don't walk the world and feel like a celebrity,' says Williams. 'I think I did in my 20s, shooting and living in New York. But that isn't how I feel dropping our son off at preschool; I feel like a person among people. My job is public, and that's unique and weird, and our culture thinks it's more important than other jobs, for sure. But, in our friend group, we celebrate what everyone's up to and that has been such a stable, steady source of nourishment in my life.' Williams noticed recently that her son is about the same age she was when she realised acting could be a job and that she might one day do it (his father, Alexander Dreymon, is also an actor; Williams and Dreymon met on the 2020 thriller Horizon Line). She watched bits of The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins and it dawned on her that the woman in both films was the same. 'Julie Andrews was like a goddess to me,' she says. Her parents, the former NBC news anchor Brian Williams and the producer Jane Stoddard Williams, insisted she get an education, which she did (English at Yale), rather than become a child actor. 'I'm grateful that my parents didn't cave and that I didn't make my way into this business any sooner than I did, because already, at 23, when Girls came out, that was a lot to process.' In a way, Williams had the reverse experience – her parent was famous. At a time before media was so fragmented, being an NBC news anchor meant Brian Williams reached millions of people. His reputation took a battering in 2015, when it was revealed he had embellished – mistakenly, he said – a story about being shot down in a helicopter while covering the Iraq war. He was suspended for six months and left NBC shortly after. What was that like to go through as a family? 'Anything that feels loud, like people are talking about you and all of that, is horrible,' says Williams. 'I think it's the underbelly of the media – it happens all the time, they eat their own. Everything just goes back to its fundamental priorities – family, friends, people who matter.' In the recent criticism of nepo babies, Williams has always been admirably upfront and unguarded about her advantages. 'Aside from all the many layers of privilege, high on the list is the fact that I could pursue a career in acting without being worried that I wasn't going to be able to feed myself. I had been surrounded by people who did what I wanted to do.' It didn't seem like an unreachable dream when Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, were family friends. When she was still at high school, she got a summer job as a production assistant on Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and got to be around its starry ensemble cast, which included Meryl Streep. 'Having had that experience gives you a leg-up when finally it's your turn and you have to know how to be on a set and how it all works.' Gratitude seems to be a defining theme in Williams' life. She is happy she is not starting out now. There was huge hype around Girls during its six-year run, which ended in 2017, but she can't imagine what that would be like with social media now. (Williams came off Instagram in 2020 – a time, she felt, when the platform was becoming more cynical and toxic.) It was, she says, as if there were 'a gazillion think pieces about every episode that we did – and most thought we all took ourselves too seriously. We were all pretty privileged people who were the leads of this HBO show that was definitely skewering our own, but we weren't given credit for that, or for being in on it.' Some of the criticism was valid – it was set in New York, yet was overwhelmingly white – but much of it was misogynistic and more. 'The shame is that, when it is coupled with misogyny and fatphobia and everything, the valid criticism gets lost.' Some of the coverage was so mean, she says with a laugh, especially on Gawker, which didn't describe the lead characters by their names, but as the daughters of the famous parent each actor had. 'We were easy targets, I get it.' For a while, Williams struggled with people assuming she was inseparable from her character, Marnie, a narcissist verging on sociopathy. 'I really desired to put distance between us, because I thought that was the kind of acting everybody respected – like, I'm wearing a prosthetic nose and I gained 40lbs, or whatever. And here [our characters] were, who looked basically like we looked and sounded like we sounded, but crucially said and did things that we would never do. It always felt weird that, since we didn't transform ourselves in some way, people weren't buying us playing characters.' Mostly though, she says, it was an amazing experience. Will there be a reunion? 'I would love it,' says Williams. 'I know that Zosia [Mamet, who played Shoshanna] has been pushing for a spin-off, which I would voraciously consume and try to elbow my way into. I kind of want us all back together. It was so fun and it was the beginning of my career, so I didn't have the perspective I have now on just how lucky we were, or to know how unusual a creative experience it was.' For those of us who loved Girls, I can think of nothing better – four hilarious, horrendous humans, no scary AI doll in sight. Allison Williams' podcast, Landlines, is available now. M3gan 2.0 is in cinemas on 27 June

Elio gives Pixar its worst ever box-office opening despite positive reviews
Pixar has had its worst box office opening ever with Elio, its new, alien-themed children's animation, taking just an estimated US$21m in North America and $14m internationally, despite generally positive reviews. Elio, about an orphaned boy whose dream of being abducted by (friendly) aliens comes true, struggled against the competition: Disney's live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, which ate the competition with $37m in its second weekend; and Danny Boyle's zombie threequel 28 Years Later, which landed 23 years after his cult classic 28 Days Later and took $30m in North America and $60m globally. Pixar, the powerhouse studio behind Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, had been bracing for modest results for Elio as it weathers an industry-wide trend of original animations struggling to perform against franchises and remakes. While Pixar has found success with its own franchises – most recently Inside Out 2, which grossed an estimated $155m in its opening weekend and a total of $1.7bn globally in 2024 – it has found original ideas a harder sell. Ahead of Elio's opening weekend, pre-release tracking suggested it would be on par with Pixar's 2023 original Elemental, which took just under $30m in its opening weekend – a significant step down from the high-water mark for original animations set by the studio with 2017's Coco, which took $49m at the domestic box office in its opening weekend and $814.3m globally across its release. On Sunday, Pixar's corporate parent, Disney, said it was confident its latest movie would find the same longer-term success as Elemental, a sleeper hit that ultimately took almost $500m globally. Exit data bodes well, with Elio scoring glowing PostTrak exit results from its opening weekend, and an A CinemaScore, including an A+ from kids. Reviews have also been generally positive, although some critics have found it underwhelming. Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said the film had 'charm, likability and that potent ingredient: childhood loneliness and vulnerability', while also describing the large chunk of the film set in space as '[occasionally] a little formulaic, a bit programmatic'. Pixar's most successful opening weekend in its 39 year-history was for 2018's Incredibles 2, which took $182.6m in North America and $231.5m globally.

Meteoric rise of Olivia Rodrigo revealed from Disney star writing songs at 13 to headlining Glastonbury & 14 Grammy nods
Olivia says she 'doesn't want to be the biggest pop star that ever lived' STARLET TO SUPERSTAR Meteoric rise of Olivia Rodrigo revealed from Disney star writing songs at 13 to headlining Glastonbury & 14 Grammy nods Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH buzzing music fans watching, Olivia Rodrigo will take to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Sunday to bring the world's most famous festival to a close. At 22, she will be the second youngest ever to do so, after Billie Eilish in 2022 — and the only female act headlining this year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 11 Olivia Rodrigo at a Beverly Hills party earlier this year Credit: Getty 11 Young Olivia with parents Chris and Jennifer Credit: Disney Channel/Youtube 11 Olivia playing New York last year on her world tour Credit: Getty Her meteoric rise to fame has taken her from Disney Channel starlet to 46million monthly listeners on Spotify, 14 Grammy nominations and collaborations with David Byrne and Lily Allen. So how did a Disney child actor come to make this journey through the ranks to grab the most prized slot at Worthy Farm? Known for her heart-on-sleeve hits including Drivers License and Good 4 U, it seems Olivia was always destined to achieve her goals. 'I want to be a songwriter — I don't want to be the biggest pop star that ever lived,' she said in an interview. 'I worked my whole childhood and I'm never going to get it back. 'I didn't go to football games, I didn't have this group of girlfriends that I hung out with after school. That's kind of sad.' Raised in a southern California town by her teacher mum Jennifer and therapist dad Chris, Olivia was only 12 when she made her acting debut as the lead in the American Girl doll franchise movie. Before that, the self- professed 'theatre kid' had been writing songs — before going on to learn piano and guitar — and was inspired by Taylor Swift's country tones. She once declared herself the 'biggest Swiftie in the world', and was also a huge fan of the in-your-face energy of Nineties and alt-rock groups such as No Doubt. In 2016, Olivia was cast in Disney's Bizaardvark and three years later she starred in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, a mockumentary that sees a bunch of teens putting on a stage production of the hit. Olivia Rodrigo praised for her 'iconic' FireAid performance - but fans all have the same complaint 'I remember being in meetings when I was 13, and they were asking me what I wanted my brand to be,' she told Vogue. 'I was just like, 'I don't even know what I want to wear tomorrow'.' Between High School Musical takes, the young actress worked away on her guitar, writing more music, until eventually Disney bosses invited her to create an original song for her character to sing in the show. The piano ballad that emerged — All I Want — went viral, and she was soon in line for a record deal. But unlike others who went from Disney favourite to superstar, such as Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Olivia shunned the in-house label and decided to do things her own way. And inspired by Taylor, she also made sure she had the rights to her masters from the start. 11 Child star Olivia as Paige, right, in 2016 Disney show Bizaardvark Credit: Getty 11 Olivia playing the Other Stage at Glasto in 2022 Credit: Getty 11 Olivia with co-star Joshua Bassett in 2019 Credit: Getty Everything changed overnight in January 2021 when Olivia released her debut single Drivers License in the middle of winter lockdown. It became the first song on Spotify to hit 80million streams in just seven days. The tune also shot straight to No1 on charts globally and propelled her into what she called a 'crash course in adulthood'. 'That was the craziest time of my life,' she said back then. 'I was sitting in a grocery store parking lot, and I called my A&R guy. 'It had just gone No 1 on Apple music, which is hard for a pop act to do. 'We were looking at each other on FaceTime, speechless. 'That was the moment I knew that it was going to be something bigger than I expected.' I just remember everyone being so weird and speculative about stuff they had no idea about. Olivia Rodrigo The story of a heartbroken teenager watching her ex move on quickly led fans to speculate it was about a rumoured love triangle with her former High School Musical co-star Joshua Bassett and Disney actress Sabrina Carpenter. Its lyrics — 'You're probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt' seemed, to the TikTok gossipers at least, to be a nod to Espresso singer Sabrina, even though this was never confirmed. Still, two weeks after Drivers License went global, Sabrina released Skin, which featured the lines 'maybe you didn't mean it, maybe 'blonde' was the only rhyme' and, 'you been tellin' your side, so I'll be tellin' mine', raising eyebrows even further. The ensuing soap opera proved a struggle for both the young stars, while Joshua Bassett ended up in hospital. He claimed he had heart failure amid the stress. Olivia said: 'I put it out not knowing that it would get that reaction, so it was really strange when it did. 'I just remember everyone being so weird and speculative about stuff they had no idea about.' 11 Loved-up Olivia and boyfriend Louis Partridge in January Credit: GC Images 11 Olivia was awarded three Grammys in 2022 Credit: Getty 11 Olivia with her idol Taylor Swift in 2021 After Drivers License, Olivia's career went from strength to strength. Her second single, Deja Vu, was certified four times platinum in the States, then May 2021 saw the release of her debut album Sour, with pop-punk hit Good 4 U going six times platinum in the US. She earned rave reviews from critics, while artists including Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne heaped praise upon her. Her first live performance in the UK was at the Brit awards in 2021, while her festival debut here was at Glastonbury the following year. During her set there, she brought on Lily Allen and sang Allen's 2009 hit, F*** You. Olivia also joined her heroes No Doubt on stage at 2024's Coachella in California, and performed alongside Chappell Roan in LA last August. Earlier this month, she sang with Talking Heads' David Byrne during her headline set at New York's Governors Ball. The pair belted out a cover of the band's hit Burning Down The House. Documentary Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (A SOUR Film) — which followed the making of her first album — debuted exclusively on Disney+ in March 2022. 'I don't kiss and tell' And Netflix released Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, about her global trek, last October. Heartbreak remains her favourite subject to write about. But she has kept much of her private life under wraps since the storm over that debut single, and once insisted: 'I don't kiss and tell.' Instead, most of her feelings are expressed in her music. Take her 2023 hit Vampire, in which she brands a mystery older ex a 'bloodsucker' who was only with her for fame. She dated producer Adam Faze for seven months before things came to an end in early 2022, then entered into a short relationship with music executive Zack Bia that same year. But despite her earlier pain, she is now loved up with British actor Louis Partridge, known for playing Sid Vicious in a series about the Sex Pistols. He said in an interview last year: 'Dating probably shouldn't be done in the public eye . . . there's enough going on between two people. 'You don't need the voices of thousands of others in your head.' 11 Olivia with her guitar during her Disney days Credit: Getty 11 Olivia will take to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Sunday Credit: Getty But that has not stopped them from going, in true Gen Z style, 'Instagram official'. And last November, Louis, 22, took Olivia to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United take on Chelsea. Dealing with the pressure of publicity is far from the only trouble Olivia has found herself in, though. Hole singer Courtney Love took to social media to call out similarities between the artwork on her 1994 album Live Through This and promotional material for an Olivia Rodrigo concert, both of which featured the singers dressed as prom queens clutching flowers while mascara ran down their faces. 'My cover was my original idea. A thing you maybe have to actually live life to acquire?' wrote Nineties rock star Courtney, though the pair seemed to patch things up. However, allegations of copyright infringement involving hits on Olivia's debut album and songs by Taylor Swift and Paramore would go on to cost the star millions. Both acts ended up receiving not only 50 per cent of the royalties from the tracks they had inspired, Deja Vu and Good 4 U, but were included in the songwriting credits. Olivia's outspoken nature did not help, as she had previously mentioned Tay's Cruel Summer was the direct inspiration for her hit. Even last week, she was accused of making a Nashville venue take down Taylor Swift imagery before filming there in 2023, though it was later confirmed the removals were done for legal reasons. 'I was so green as to how the music industry worked, the litigious side,' Olivia has said. Headlining Glastonbury alongside The 1975 and Neil Young shows that Olivia has come a long way, especially amid rumours her third album could be released this year. She may look like the sweet girl next door, but her determination to direct her own career proves she is as punk as the rest of them.
