New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor appears in the trailer for the upcoming science fiction film Disclosure Day. The 30-second spot was filmed at Citi Field and shows the player encountering mysterious lights from an alien craft.
The trailer poses the question, “If you found out we weren’t alone, would that frighten you?” Lindor is shown preparing to field when a cardinal lands on his left arm. Bright lights then appear overhead, leaving him in a trance with his eyes changing color. The scene echoes a 1997 cameo by Mets outfielder Bernard Gilkey in Men in Black, on which director Steven Spielberg served as executive producer. Disclosure Day is scheduled for nationwide release on June 12. The spot highlights Lindor’s role in promoting the film while drawing on baseball’s history with science fiction cameos.
