The Super Bowl seems to become less and less about the game and more about everything else surrounding it, and that won’t be any different this year. Studios are going all in to advertise their upcoming films, and that will include Universal’s The Fate of the Furious.
Many suspected a new trailer would pop up at the annual gridiron event, but The Rock has not only confirmed it’s coming but has also confirmed when. He took to Instagram to post a new shot from the film with the quote “For him it’s family, for me, it’s personal.” His caption read “Just watched our trailer that’ll air during the SUPER BOWL.🔥 Very strong. Universal did a tremendous job and during the 2nd quarter, you’ll see for yourself. Get your popcorn ready… ’cause daddy’s gotta go to work. #FateOfTheFurious #SuperBowl51.”

So regardless of whether you’re a Patriots or Falcons fan, at least you know not to take a bathroom break in the second quarter, at least until you’ve seen the trailer.
You can read the official synopsis for the anticipated film below.
“Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.
“From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.”
For The Fate of the Furious, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar winner Helen Mirren. The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) and produced by returning producers Neal H. Moritz, Michael Fottrell, and Diesel.
The Fate of the Furious releases on April 14, 2017.
