Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals BMW IX Commercial Playing Zeus

Arnold Schwarzenegger will be featured in a Super Bowl commercial as Zeus.

It has been two weeks since Arnold Schwarzenegger teased a project of himself playing Zeus. Now, he has revealed that fans will be able to see his performance during the Super Bowl.

Schwarzenegger will join Salma Hayek in a promotion for the new BMW electric model. This is an ad that opens at Mt. Olympus where the pair are planning to retire and head to Palm Beach, CA. Schwarzenegger shared a post on his Instagram to give fans a sneak peek.

“I had such a blast filming with @salmahayek for @BMWUSA! Now…GET TO THE CHARGER!! @BMW #BMWElectric #ad

The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will battle on the field in the final game of the NFL season. Off the field, fans can also enjoy the Halftime Show and commercials that have become such a big part of the night. Companies know the attraction that football brings. Of the top-10 most watched television programs in the history of the United States, eight spots are taken up by Super Bowls.

On average, companies will spect upwards of $7 million for a 30-second ad during the big game. In 2020, there was a total of nearly $450 million spent to provide entertaining commercials. BMW will not get into the mix and feature two big names as part of their campaign.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has always had a passion for acting. Following a legendary bodybuilding career that dubbed him the greatest of all-time, he appeared on the big screen in many memorable roles. This includes The Terminator series and The Expendables. 

Salma Hayek is another big figure in Hollywood who has been part of some huge projects in her career. Hayek has been nominated for an Emmy award four times for her work as a director and producer for television shows. This collaboration is not one that many have seen coming but it is bound to be an entertaining and successful ad.

There have been many famous Super Bowl ads that have remained relevant over the years. Arnold Schwarzenegger and BMW might have the next great one on deck. Fans will have to wait until Sunday to see the big reveal but the legendary bodybuilder was not shy about giving a sneak peek.
