#TRAILERCHEST: Feast your eyes on these insane, action-packed new trailers from the Super Bowl

Rudi Kinsella

These look great.

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at not just one… not just two… but ten brand new trailers for some of 2017’s most highly-anticipated films.

While one of the best comebacks in Super Bowl history was taking place, so too was one of the biggest nights of the year in terms of advertising. Some of the biggest upcoming movies had their trailers broadcast to the massive audience watching in the stadium and around the world.

Among the brand new clips shown were the latest in the Transformers series, the new Baywatch movie and the return of everyone’s favourite galaxy guardians, the conveniently-named Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Have a look for yourself…
