Madden Movie Features Daughter Controlling Football Star Dad Via Madden 23

The first trailer for the upcoming Madden movie, Fantasy Football, has arrived, and it's basically one giant ad for Madden. The film is an original sports comedy from Nickelodeon that's set to arrive on Paramount+ on November 25, the day after the Thanksgiving.

The conceit is that a formerly great NFL star, played by Omari Hardwick, gets a second chance in the NFL after his daughter, played by Marsai Martin, becomes able to control him via Madden NFL 23. She gets the magical ability to do this in the parking lot of a donut shop called "Dee's Donuts," so that's pretty great.

The movie also stars Kelly Rowland from the group Destiny's Child and Rome Flynn from How to Get Away with Murder. Check out the trailer below.

EA Sports was trying to make a Madden Curse movie for years. While that never happened, this Fantasy Football movie is real and it'll be available to stream in less than a month.

As for Madden NFL 23, the game's second season of live-service content arrived earlier in October.
