The high-speed racing film debuted a trailer onSuper Bowl Sunday, showcasing new footage of Pitt, 61, behind the wheel.

Snowfallstar Idris, 33, plays race car driver Joshua Pearce of the fictional APXGP team, whom Pitt’s Sonny Hayes comes out of retirement to mentor. The pair eventually become teammates. The movie was filmed “during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport,” according to Warner Bros.

Speaking toVanity Fairlast summer, Idris had nothing but great things to say about his costar’s ability to accurately portray a Formula 1 driver.

“I don’t know if people know this, but he is really good behind that car. Really good. Too good almost. He makes me nervous how good he is,” theChildren of Blood and Boneactor told the outlet in a July 2024 interview.

At the time, Idris also praised Pitt for “his humility,” which he said was “second to none.”
