Salma Hayek is Hera in a new poster for the upcoming BMW ad for Super Bowl Sunday. Alongside Hayek, former governor of California and actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger and German actor, Ralf Moller, have been confirmed with their respective BMW promotional posters as well. The last television spot BMW had during the Super Bowl was back in 2015, with Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel endorsing the BMW i3.
This is not Hayek’s first rodeo playing someone from Greek mythology, as she recently starred in Chloe Zhao’s Eternals as Ajak, based on the Greek mythological hero Ajax. Eternals follows as part of Phase 4 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and met polarizing reviews from critics and the audience. However, despite the underwhelming box office performance for an MCU film, Eternals broke records for Disney+ when it hit the subscription platform last month.

Prior to Hayek’s post, Schwarzenegger teased a mysterious poster of him as Zeus on Twitter, with many initially speculating about a feature film or a video advertisement for the upcoming Super Bowl. Earlier today, a short teaser video was released by BMW of Schwarzenegger as Zeus along with Hayek’s poster, ultimately confirming the Super Bowl commercial. Hayek will be playing the wife of Zeus and the goddess of marriage, marking her first collaboration with the Terminator actor. Although the commercial will be short-lived, it may not be the last time Hayek will portray someone from Greek mythology, as she was confirmed to have signed a multi-film contract with Marvel Studios last year.
Over the years, many fans continue to anticipate the arrival of the Super Bowl for its entertaining commercials, featuring many renowned celebrities. Unfortunately, neither Hayek nor the teaser revealed more information in regards to her role in the upcoming BMW project. Therefore, fans will have to tune in to watch Hayek’s performance as Hera when the advertisement premieres on February 13, during the Super Bowl LVI game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams.

Salma Hayek Tells Story Of Her Pet Owl Vomiting On Harry Styles' Head
Salma Hayek, star of The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, revealed that her pet owl once vomited on pop star Harry Styles’ head. Hayek first appeared as Sonia, the wife of hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson), in 2017’s The Hitman's Bodyguard. After being a surprise hit at the box office, the buddy comedy will be followed up by a sequel releasing in theaters June 16. The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard will see Hayek step into the spotlight after appearing in the first film for only a few minutes.
After starring alongside Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in the action sequel, Hayek is poised to have a huge year. The Phase 4 Marvel film Eternals will see Hayek star as Ajak, the leader of the ancient superhero team. After Eternals debuts on November 5, it won’t be long until Hayek is seen in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci alongside Adam Driver and Lady Gaga on November 24. While making the press rounds for The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Hayek has been the subject of various anecdotes, such as her slapping Reynolds shockingly hard, and now she has an even more bizarre story to share.

Appearing on The Ellen Show to promote The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Hayek recalled a time in which her pet owl, Kering, landed and vomited on Styles’ head. Though she was hesitant to name the “very important celebrity” whose head was the victim of this unfortunate incident, Hayek revealed towards the end of the interview that it was in fact Styles, the former One Direction member turned Dunkirk actor and solo singer. Watch Hayek recount the incident below beginning at the 6:50 mark:
With The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard releasing June 16, Hayek is just about finished making press rounds for the film. However, it won’t be long until Marvel begins the promotional campaign for Eternals, which Hayek will likely be a huge part of considering her prominent role in the film as Eternal Ajak. Hopefully, Hayek will have more interesting anecdotes to share then that could include her high-profile co-stars like Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga.
Hayek is certainly no stranger to action films after rising to prominence with roles in Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn. Her breakthrough role then came in 2002 with Frida, for which she was nominated for an Oscar. While she hasn’t starred in many action flicks since then, she will make her highly-anticipated return to the genre with her prominent role in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard followed by her superhero debut in Eternals.
