Super Bowl adverts are a big deal, as millions of Americans tune in for the football championship each year and the commercials that air during the game are planned months in advance. Both Deadpool and Wolverine and Wicked had filming delays in the UK due to Hollywood acting strikes, but are set to be released soon.
The Deadpool sequel has generated significant buzz among fans who are excited to see Reynolds and Jackman face off in their Marvel roles. The film is rumored to include Sir Patrick Stewart, who played Professor X in the X-Men films. It also features Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen from The Crown and Succession, respectively. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film is set to premiere in the US on July 26.
Wicked, a musical directed by Jon M Chu, is based on Gregory Maguire’s novel that inspired the Broadway hit. The film tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, played by Cynthia Erivo. Grande stars as Glinda, the future Good Witch of the North. The cast also includes Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum. The film is scheduled to be released in the UK on November 28.
Overall, the Super Bowl adverts provided fans with a first look at these exciting upcoming films. Both the Deadpool sequel and Wicked have faced delays but are now on track for release.
