Project Hail Mary Final Trailer Released Before Super Bowl

The final trailer for the science fiction film Project Hail Mary was released hours before the Super Bowl on February 8, 2026, offering audiences a deeper look at the high-stakes interstellar adventure starring Ryan Gosling. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie adapts Andy Weir's bestselling 2021 novel and follows Gosling's character, Ryland Grace, a science teacher thrust into a desperate mission to save Earth from solar catastrophe. The film is set for theatrical release on March 20, 2026, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.

In the trailer, set to Prince's "I Would Die 4 U," Grace awakens alone on a spaceship light years from home, grappling with amnesia and the weight of his forgotten purpose. As his memories return, he realizes he must unravel the mystery of a substance dimming the sun, threatening all life on Earth with extinction. Officials in the story brief him on the dire stakes: every star in the galaxy is fading except one, leaving humanity's survival in his hands. Grace, who holds a doctorate in molecular biology despite his reluctance—"I put the not in astronaut," he quips to a team of scientists—relies on his ingenuity to navigate the crisis.
