Yorgos Lanthimos reunited with muse Emma Stone for Superbowl ad

In a blend of the film, tech and sports world, Greek Weird Wave filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has overseen his fourth collaborative work with double Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone for the Superbowl.

The pair have previously worked together on 2018’s The Favorite, with Stone taking on the role of courtier Abigail Hill, 2023’s Poor Things as Bella Baxter, 2024’s Kinds of Kindness in three separate roles and recently 2025’s Bugonia as CEO Michelle Fuller. The latter has earned Stone her third Oscar nomination for Best Actress following 2016’s La La Land (directed by Damien Chazelle) and Poor Things (both she won).

Now fans of the duo will receive more content delivered in Lanthimos’s signature unconventional, dark style in a commercial for Squarespace, the popular website making platform, marking the company’s 12th time appearing in a Superbowl ad.

As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, Lanthimos’s ad for Squarespace has a runtime of 30 seconds but the site has shared a snippet to ease fans over until the Superbowl’s 6th February air date.

The teaser shows the director’s beloved muse Stone in a moderate close-up, stylised in a stark chiaroscuro lighting palette, with Stone appearing distressed and emotional. It concludes with a cut to an abandoned looking, isolated building perched on a singular spot of land in a stormy sea. The company’s name breaks across the image’s coldness.

This project also marks Lanthimos’s second commercial for the Superbowl after this year’s Grubhub advertisement.

The director also teamed up once again with James Price, the same production designer who helped with crafting Lanthimos’s visions for Poor Things, Bugonia and 2023’s The Iron Claw.

Squarespace is getting well and truly into the atmosphere of contemporary film culture with their release of a series of Unavailable film posters and orchestrating a visually composed narrative of moody atmosphere and darkness.
