“The Fate of the Furious” trailer is expected to be released during Super Bowl 2017. The makers have already released a trailer previously. It is expected that either A new trailer of the Vin Diesel-starrer or a sneak peek will be released. However, nothing can be said to be true as of now.

Speculations are doing the rounds that a sneak peak video of "Furious 8" has taken a short new TV spot. It might be aired on Sunday. However, Universal Pictures has not confirmed the same yet.

Furthermore, the film studio has other pictures lined up for release in the near future, including “Fifty Shades Darker.” Chances are high that “The Fate of the Furious” will gain a spot among these films because “Furious 7” was also launched through the same platform.

Super Bowl 2017 is one of the most watched events around the world. Hence, film studios always look forward to grab the opportunity to gain a prime spot in order to showcase sneak peeks and trailers of their forthcoming projects.

Paramount Pictures will showcase the forthcoming film, “Transformers: The Last Knight,” which stars Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci. Science fiction film “Ghost In The Shell,” starring Scarlett Johansson, has however gotten a spot in pre-game portion. "Transformers," which is scheduled to release on June 29 in Australia, will air during the main show, according to Comicbook.com. Speculations about “Baywatch” bagging a spot are also doing the rounds. “Ghost In The Shell” will release on March 30, and “Baywatch” on May 11.

Disney has also purchased two spots. It is expected that it will air “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” (April 25) and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (May 25). However, an official confirmation of the same is awaited. Since Disney has already released the final trailer for “Beauty and the Beast” (March 23), chances are less that an advertisement of the movie will be shown during the sports event.

Furthermore, 20th Century Fox also has bagged one spot. The film studio will most likely choose to air a sneak peak of the forthcoming "X-Men" film, “Logan” (March 2). Sony Pictures also has one spot. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (Dec. 14) by Lucasfilm is also expected to bag a TV spot.

A lot of movies will be showcased during Super Bowl 2017. Meanwhile, fans are waiting for Universal Pictures to confirm about “The Fate of the Furious.” The Vin Diesel-starrer project is slated to hit the screens on April 12.
