While the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) preps to unleash Red Hulk with Captain America: Brave New World this week, Marvel gave fans a closer look at Thunderbolts* with a new Super Bowl trailer that highlights the group’s many different skills and what looks like our first look at its main villain, Sentry.

Jurassic World Rebirth Super Bowl Trailer Reveals More Dinosaur Carnage Ahead of Summer Premiere
Jurassic World Rebirth stomped into Super Bowl Sunday with a special trailer that showed off even more dinosaur action ahead of its July 2025 premiere.

While the video shares a lot in common with the trailer Universal premiered last week, it’s still a solid look at the next Jurassic Park movie. Expect to see more about how the entry fits into the franchise before it releases in theaters July, 2025.
