'And edgar drove off into the sunset' - Winona Ryder and Timothee Chalamet take us down memory lane in new ad

In February 2021, the Super Bowl ads took us on a trip down memory lane with Winona Ryder stepping back into her iconic role as Kim Boggs from the 1990 Tim Burton film, Edward Scissorhands, as reported by Billboard.

In the ad, released by Cadillac for the Super Bowl event between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we found out Kim and Edward Scissorhands had a son, Edgar. "This is a story of a boy that had scissors for hands," Ryder narrates, as the camera focuses on a vibrantly pink house, spiral bushes, and a rubber ducky topiary that Edward would have loved.

With Johnny Depp not returning to portray Edward, Timothee Chalamet stepped in to play Edgar, who inherited not just his father's scissor hands but also his deathly pallor, tousled dark hair, and penchant for black clothing.

Like his father, Edgar struggles to fit into the normal world. His sharp fingers result in accidentally cutting a bus cord, puncturing a football, and making spectacular salads. An empathetic Kim buys Edgar a Cadillac LYRIQ, equipped with a hands-free super cruise feature to prevent any steering wheel destruction.

"And Edgar drove off into the sunset," Kim concludes in the ad, ending with a hint of his homecoming for dinner.

Uber Eats also jumped on the nostalgia bandwagon by featuring classic characters from Wayne's World, indicating a trend to invoke fond memories of classic film characters during the Super Bowl.

From Edward's charmingly gothic world to the modern era, Winona Ryder's reprisal of Kim Boggs rekindles the magic and continues the legacy of a story that captivated audiences three decades ago.
