For their Super Bowl commercial this year, Walmart has brought together a handful of icons from the world of sci-fi, using them to promote their “out of this world convenience.”
The 60-second commercial is titled “Famous Visitors,” and it features appearances from the lovable martians from Mars Attacks!, along with characters from Star Wars, Men in Black, and Arrival. Ahead of this year’s Bill & Ted Face the Music, Alex Winter even pops up as Bill S. Preston, appearing on screen alongside, well, a younger version of himself!
If Mountain Dew hadn’t cast Bryan Cranston as Jack Torrance in a commercial recreating an iconic moment from The Shining, we’d say *this* was the Super Bowl commercial to beat.
Alas, they did. But this one’s pretty great too!
UPDATE: The commercial’s extended cut has been added below.
