On Thursday, the first trailer for thenew comedy80 for Bradydebuted, starringSally Field,Jane Fonda,Rita MorenoandLily Tomlinas NFL fans who venture to Houston for 2017’s Super Bowl LI. That’s the year quarterback Brady (who now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers)led the New England Patriots to a victoryover the Atlanta Falcons.
The four actresses introduce themselves (and their alma maters) at the top of the new trailer as if they were playing in the Super Bowl themselves before it dives into teasing out the four women’s trip to Houston.
Brady himself only appears in the trailer briefly, and the tease for the upcoming film ends with the women drinkingsomethingthat makes them see Guy Fieri everywhere.

Tomlin, meanwhile, said Brady felt “like he was my son” in a way: “He looks like a big, beautiful 20-year-old whom I’m going to see play homecoming in his sophomore year. He’s actually 40ish, which is a bit mind-boggling; he’s the quarterback, and he is my son.”
The athlete also “has an incredibly sweet nature,” Tomlin added: “He’s sensitive and tries to make people comfortable.”

Brady serves as a producer of the movie, which is based on a true story, and the athlete appears as himself in the film. Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman also have cameos as themselves.
He previouslytoldVarietyhis role is “small” but he “learned a lot” during his two days of filming.
“It’s really interesting. I find it challenging — sometimes hard,” he said of acting as a version of himself in the movie. “Because you’re always paying attention to yourself as yourself rather than the character you’re playing. I don’t think that’s natural for me. What I’ve done for 23 years in sports is play myself. There’s no acting. It’s me on the field. When I’m pissed, I’m pissed. When I’m happy, I’m happy. I’m not playing a role.”
“So when I got to go play a role, I have no programming for that,” said Brady. “There’s not a lot of experiences to fall back on other than a few commercials that I’ve done.”
He added of working with his iconic costars Field, Fonda, Moreno and Tomlin: “[Tomlin] is really funny, and when you see it, they make it look so natural. You’re on set and you’re going through your scene and she says something, but it’s not really on script. I’m like, ‘Is this just her normal?’ And then the scene cuts, and I don’t know if she’s still in character or not. I don’t even know the etiquette for that.”
