The Super Bowl is mere hours away and people are already hyping up some of the star-studded commercials. Some fan favorites so far have included Elijah Wood celebrating Lord of the Rings, a Wayne's World reunion, John Travolta doing a Grease dance, and a fun team-up between Ryan Reynolds, Diddy, and David Beckham. However, it looks like the winner of the ad wars is currently the Edward Scissorhands commercial from Cadillac. The ad sees Winona Ryder reprising her role as Kim Boggs with Timothée Chalamet playing her son, Edgar Scissorhands. The commercial is currently a top trend on Twitter as fans gush over the hilarious and adorable ad.

"It was pretty surreal to have Timothée play my son, Edgar," Ryder shared, according to Variety. "Timothée is an incredible guy — so talented and sweet. I felt a pretty instant bond with him."

You can watch the ad here before checking out some of the Twitter reactions below...

Can't Help But Smile

It's easy to be cynical about nostalgia-grab Super Bowl commercials but this one is pretty delightful. Winona Ryder is back as Kim Boggs, and Timothée Chalamet is perfect casting as a new Edward Scissorhands. It almost makes you wish this concept was used for an actual movie... https://t.co/iDDukXRCkO

A Fair Criticism

The Edward Scissorhands ad should have brought Diane Weiss back.

Where's the Feature?

Timothée Chalamet as Edgar Scissorhands, son of Edward Scissorhands is the best casting there will ever be, even if it is just for a tv spot. pic.twitter.com/CqJmQWjXtn
