BMW's Super Bowl 2022 Commercial Gives Arnold Schwarzenegger A New Look

Writer Owen Barnes

Arnold Schwarzenegger will be joining the ranks of other A-list celebrities starring in 2022 Super Bowl commercials this Sunday. According to People, Schwarzenegger will be starring as the Greek God Zeus in a commercial for BMW. In the short preview clip released of the commercial, Schwarzenegger, dressed in full Greek God garb, is seen ordering a macchiato at a coffee shop. After the barista mispronounces the name "Zeus," Schwarzenegger corrects her while lightning strikes his gold-plated armor. Then, Schwarzenegger walks away while the barista marvels at the fact that Zeus is in her coffee shop. A second thunderclap sounds before the BMW logo appears on the screen. Salma Hayek is also set to star in the commercial as Greek Goddess Hera.

Perhaps his role as Zeus in the commercial is a nod to his very first role as an actor. As Entertainment Weekly reported, the actor's first role was in 1970's "Hercules in New York," in which he portrayed Hercules as he is sent down to earth. While there, Hercules strikes up a romantic relationship and even started a successful career as a bodybuilder. In the past, Schwarzenegger has appeared in other Super Bowl commercials for Bud Light and the "Mobile Strike" game.
