All the movie and TV trailers that aired during the Super Bowl, from Avengers: Endgame to Toy Story 4

Plus: several teasers for Guillermo del Toro’s much-anticipated Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

The Super Bowl is one of the most-watched events on TV, so it’s no surprise that movie studios and television networks consider it a prime time to debut trailers for upcoming blockbusters and marquee TV series.

And though there weren’t as many big blockbusters teases during Super Bowl 53 as there have been in years past, we still got looks at Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Wonder Park, Jordan Peele’s Us, and more during the big game and its preshow.

Here they all are in one place, for your viewing pleasure.

Game of Thrones ... kinda ... by way of Bud Light

Bud Light aired several commercials that functioned as Game of Thrones spoofs — and then capped them off with an official show tie-in. As Chavie Lieber explained for Vox:

The Super Bowl ad is part of the $20 million marketing campaign for the show’s final season, which debuts April 14, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal is calling the commercial “the biggest and boldest marketing tie-ins the AT&T Inc.-owned cable network has ever orchestrated.” Apparently, the commercial had input from a director of the HBO show, and a few other ideas for the spot were scrapped because the show was worried it would give away too much of the season finale’s plot line.
