The 2023 Super Bowl is going to be a must-watch, even if you have no interest in American football.

Not only will Rihanna perform at the halftime show, but we’re also expecting to see trailers for some of the most anticipated movies of the year.

The Big Game attracts a huge TV audience, so Hollywood studios typically spend a lot of money promoting their upcoming blockbusters during the commercial breaks.

American broadcaster Fox is asking a record $7 million for 30-second ads during the game, according to Variety.

This year’s Super Bowl kicks off on February 12 at 11:30pm UK time.

Here are the trailers that could debut during the game, plus those that have already been confirmed.
