the Trailers 2022 asked some of the biggest questions Moviedom has seen in years, like why Mario’s butt is so flat?
The movie Super Mario Bros. was just one of the surprisingly good teasers released in 2022 when cinema began to find its feet again after the upheaval of the past two years. Don’t worry, the year hasn’t been dominated by the mechanics of how Mario can jump through mushrooms in the Mushroom Kingdom – a lot more has happened.
The 2002 trailers served up surprises, excitement, and the long-awaited return of some movie icons. The trailers in this list have demonstrated excellent knowledge of the exceptional promotion of the film. Even if they can’t anchor themselves in nostalgia, they play to their strengths and make us want more without revealing too much.
From Barbie Land to the pressures of the concert hall, here are our best movie trailers of 2022.
ten. Barbie
- Trailer released: December 2022
- Film release: July 21, 2023
Must be good if he manages to stick a 50-year-old cult classic movie. no one expected Barbie the movie, not to mention a teaser that draws heavily from Stanley Kubrick 2001: A Space Odyssey. The anticipation around Barbie is palpable, and the teaser hits home. It reassured us that Barbie is an icon while leaving us in the dark about what it is.
Is it an arch-postmodern satire? Is it a break from consumerism? Does Mattel know? The multicolored edit at the end left us with even more specific questions. How can Ryan Gosling be Ken? And can Ncuti Gatwa’s training suit beat his new sons like Doctor Who? It’s going to be a long wait to find out.
9. Dead Pool 3
- Trailer released: September 2022
- Film release: November 8, 2024
OK, so it’s not really a trailer, but it really is. This dead Pool The update is classic Ryan Reynolds misdirection. A good trailer should promise without giving anything away, and that’s exactly what this latest installment from Reynolds and Jackman-love-in/in-joke does.
We’ve got plenty of teasing, with the movie not releasing until late 2024 to kick off Phase 6 of the MCU. Still, confidence is high and it’s a ray of light for Marvel, which has had an underpowered year. by its standards. Disney is clearly aware that dead Pool can be a huge plus rather than a hindrance to their simpler MCU plans (She-Hulk except). If this can draw even closer ties between the MCU and the Fox era, surely everyone will win, right? All he has to do is beat the climax of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
8. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate
- Trailer released: December 2022
- Film release: June 30, 2023
This trailer didn’t have to be so good. As the beloved ’80s trilogy fades into the museum of the past, the dust still hasn’t settled on the divisive topic The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 14 years later. He looked like IndianaJones was a footnote in Disney’s Lucasfilm plans. But this gorgeous teaser promises a good signing for Harison Ford’s Dr. Henry Jones Jr.
It’s filled with nostalgia, packed, and wisely conveyed by John Rhys Davies’ Return of Sallah. Yes, we missed everything too. The trailer is steeped in atmosphere, beautifully shot, and full of what feels like callbacks to the entire saga (shootout switches, rocks, enigmatic time travel?). We can forgive the weird CGI trailer, as Indy dispatched our hopes with that brass line from John Williams.
7. Marcel the shod shell
- Trailer released: April 2022
- Film release: June 24, 2022
A24’s adorable hull made its theatrical debut with this stellar trailer. Dean Fleischer-Camp’s mockumentary follows the director’s attempts to help the inch-tall shell he discovers in his Airbnb find his long-lost family. Developed from a series of Fleischer Camp shorts developed with the voice of Marcel Jenny Slate, it’s great to see the format grow with budget and time.
The anthropomorphic shell and his grandmother Connie couldn’t have asked for a better trailer that walks, in tiny shoes, just the right side of fantasy and emotion. Best of all, it leaves you with the feeling that while the trailer is full of brilliant lines and plenty of plot, there’s a lot more to come for the feature film.
6. cocaine bear
- Trailer released: November 2022
- Film release: February 24, 2023
A trailer that keeps on giving. You must love the proclamation that it is “inspired by real events”. The true story from the mid-1980s is that a bear consumed 40 pounds of cocaine that fell from a plane over Georgia and, naturally, died. Director Elizabeth Banks and writer Jimmy Warden couldn’t help but reimagine the bear running amok instead. This cutting-edge cinema concept brings the buzz of high-flying classics like Snakes on a plane.
It ticks the boxes for creature sets and delivers the gore and jokes worthy of its Red Band trailer.
Apex predator, high in cocaine. Out of his mind. With a star-studded cast and one of Ray Liotta’s final performances, it earns bonus points for the fun use of Melle Mel’s 1983 classic. White lines (don’t). If only the bear had heard that first.
5. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
- Trailer released: October 2022
- Release of the film: November 22, 2022
Marvel may have had a rough year on the big screen, but they pulled it off with this exquisite trailer. The second Black Panther The film has had to deal with the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman as well as the accolades and critical and commercial success that greeted the 2021 original. Much like the film, the trailer lingers on the emotional farewell to Boseman’s T’Challa and is aptly inspired by Angela Basset’s extraordinary performance as a grieving mother and queen.
Almost secondary is the mystery of which character will assume the mantle of the Panther. But when the sleek superhero lands silently at the end, it ties the weight and the promise of an MCU epic ready to grow.
4. NOPE
- Trailer released: February 2022
- Film release: July 22, 2022
Jordan Peele’s third film was always going to be highly anticipated. Naturally, it served up a thought-provoking trailer where the mystery deftly flows from one of the film’s early scenes, with stunning sound design instilling chills in a rapid succession of gruesome and eerily beautiful scenes.
“What’s a bad miracle?! Daniel Kaluuya’s OJ asks, as a weird mix of western and horror tightens the tension. It’s not bad when a trailer embraces the mix of genre of his film. No, no, no. An almost perfect trailer.
3. Babylon
- Trailer released: November 2022
- Film release: December 23, 2023
If there are two rules in Hollywood, it’s that Tinseltown loves a movie about itself, and you can’t go wrong using a David Bowie song in your trailer.
Curiously, this is the second promo of this top 10 to feature the Margot Robbie brand wink. Robbie plays Nellie LaRoy, a loud, aspiring starlet, and one of the characters we follow through an epic rise and fall. Damien Chazelle’s latest film is a love song in Hollywood in the 1920s, when silent cinema gave way to talkies. The trailer is a lavish feast of color and glamour, with a perceptible threat of change running through it.
2. M3GAN
- Trailer released: October 2022
- Film release: December 7, 2022
If there’s anyone you won’t trust when they tell you it’s “nice to have a friend”, it’s James Wan and Blumhouse. AI meets chucky in the disarming form of an android and a perfect toy that roboticist Gemma (Alison Williams) hopes can help and support her niece where she can’t.
While it seems clear what will happen as soon as the doll opens her eyes and meets recently orphaned Cady, the trailer still serves up the creeps and surprises. It’s amazing no one has sped up the killer robot, fairy tale, and modern horror mash-up the way this trailer effortlessly does. And voicing M3GAN, Jenna Davis’ creepy lines stick with you long after the promo.
1. Tar
- Trailer released: September 2022
- Film release: October 7, 2022
The intensity of live concerts and the pressure of high-level music make for breathtaking cinema. We know that from the nerve-wracking experience of Whiplash. This trailer does not stop there as it unleashes the whole orchestra and, at the top, Cate Blanchett’s tour de force as a world-famous composer.
The immaculate sound design and thoughtful snippets leave no doubt that Blanchett’s character study is at the heart of a mind-blowing psychological drama. It’s tense, visceral and unbeatable this year.
