USA's National Football League (NFL) ended on Sunday, with The Super Bowl, a final game that decides the winner of the NFL. But apart from being one of the biggest sports days of the USA, it is also a day when films offer audiences an insight. Catch up on the most notable film updates in this catalogue.
Steven Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi flick, starring Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt and Eve Hewson, hints at an invasion by extra-terrestrial beings.

A commoner is affixed with a mission to save the world — this time, the sun is dying.

Set to release on March 20, the film is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
