Actors Salma Hayek Pinault and Arnold Schwarzenegger will grace viewers’ screens as Greek gods in an upcoming Super Bowl commercial.
The duo will portray “retired” Greek gods in the BMW advertisement, set to air during Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams football game. It seems many viewers want a movie to be made after watching the ad.
It’s not a stretch for the two actors either, as they’ve portrayed some heroic characters in previous movie roles. Hayek and Schwarzenegger will also appear amongst many ads featuring celebrities pitching products or services.
Salma Hayek Pinaut shares her Super Bowl 2022 ad
The Super Bowl commercial starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Salma Hayek Pinault is at least one-minute long and has surfaced online. Schwarzenegger is Zeus, the king of gods, while Hayek is his wife Hera, the goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth.
“My fellow Gods, the dark skies have spoken,” Schwarzenegger’s voice booms as Zeus.
“It is time for Zeus and I to retire,” Hayek’s Hera adds, leading others to wonder what’s next for them.
The scene shifts to Palm Springs, California, where Zeus lounges on a pool float looking like a true retiree. His neighbour asks for a charge for her hedge trimmer, and Zeus obliges with a zap from his fingers.
Hera shows Zeus that living with modern-day technology isn’t “rocket science” in a kitchen scene as he tries to use the microwave.
Later, Zeus attempts some golf in his retired life. The Greek god misses his close shot because of another request for his energy zap to help get a golf cart moving.
“I’m done with this place,” he proclaims, but Hera has other ideas, even after Zeus zaps all the electricity in the surrounding city.
Hera comes through with a sweet gift for her Greek god hubby, in the former of an electric BMW SUV. The classic 1980s track Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant plays as the two ride off, and Zeus adjusts a traffic light with his power.
Hayek, 55, recently shared the video clip on her official Instagram account below, along with her excitement for it.

The 74-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger also tweeted about the upcoming ad.
“I had such a blast filming with @salmahayek for @BMWUSA! Now…GET TO THE CHARGER!!” he shared, referencing his classic “Get to the Chopper!” line from Predator.
