Superhero trailers touch down at Super Bowl 50 - CNET

For some people, it's the game that counts. For others, it's the half-time show. But as any good film nerd knows, the Super Bowl is all about movie trailers.

This year offered tantalising tastes from... well pretty much nothing but sequels, superhero films and, most importantly, sequels to superhero films. So, if you weren't glued to the big game (or were watching from outside of the US) what did you miss?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

Michael Bay continues a career that seems to be comprised of luck and Teflon, as he scores a sequel for his barely remembered TMNT movie from 2014. Thankfully it looks like Bebop and Rocksteady will finally get the screen time that their fans have been clamouring for. Mark your diaries for June 3 if you're really keen to see this.

Independence Day: Resurgence

A sequel that's been 20 years in the making, the trailer of the new Independence Day gets points for actually featuring a Super Bowl game. Although if, as previous trailers have suggested, the world of ID:R is one filled with cool alien tech, shouldn't football look more, I dunno, futuristic? It's out June 24 this year, because its ridiculous that aliens would arrive on July 4 twice, right?

Captain America: Civil War

Marvel has done such a good job of intertwining its films, it can be hard to remember which superhero franchise the news films are attached to. In this case it's definitely Captain America, which you can tell by the fact Tony Stark, The Vision and Ant-Man are in it. May 6 is when you'll get to see Cap and Bucky stick it to the (Iron) Man.
