The Gods of Egypt are coming to Super Bowl Sunday. To herald their arrival, Lionsgate released the film’s Super Bowl TV spot online ahead of the big game.

Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau portrays the Egyptian god Horus. Once blinded by his brother Set (Gerard Butler), the deity must now battle him for the fate of the world.

The film, directed by Alex Proyas from a screenplay by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, also features Brenton Thwaites and Geoffrey Rush of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Chadwick Boseman of Marvel’s Black Panther, and Elodie Yung of Daredevil season 2, among others.

Gods of Egypt will debut in theaters on Feb. 26.
