Scarlett Johansson playfully teases her Oscar near-wins in a humorous M&M’s Super Bowl ad, honoring the ‘unforgettable almost-winners’

Scarlett Johansson isn’t shy about acknowledging her setbacks. In the M&M’s Super Bowl 2024 ad, she appears with NFL icons Dan Marino, Terrell Owens, and Bruce Smith, notable players who never clinched a Super Bowl victory. Johansson, who has twice been a runner-up for an Oscar, shares the experience of being an “almost champion” with the group as they contemplate a fresh strategy to secure a consolation prize.

“Who says only Super Bowl winners get rings? Not true! Marino introduces the Almost Champions: Ring of Comfort, courtesy of M&M’s,” he jokes in the video. “It’s backed by real science.” The ex-football player goes on to detail the unique materials used in creating the amusing rings. “We started by molding comforting M&M’s peanut butter into genuine diamonds,” he adds.

NFL legends Bruce Smith, Dan Marino, and Terrell Owens are teaming up with Scarlett Johansson for an exciting M&M’s Super Bowl 2024 commercial. The red M&M adds a humorous touch by jokingly handing Johansson one of the rings and telling her not to let Marino know he gave it to her. Johansson shared that her favorite part of being in the commercial is the message of having fun, regardless of the outcome. She likened the playful and comforting vibe of the commercial to her love for Peanut Butter M&M’S. Johansson hopes that fans will enjoy watching the ad as much as she enjoyed filming it. The M&M’s full 30-second ad is scheduled to air in the first quarter of the Super Bowl LVIII game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, which will be broadcast on CBS on Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
