   Months before the film's release, Kevin James began posting on TikTok and Instagram as art teacher Matt Taylor without initially revealing his connection to Solo Mio. The idea of creating an online presence for the character ahead of the film's release came from co-writers John Kinnane and Patrick Kinnane as part of the film's marketing campaign. The campaign culminated with James appearing as Taylor at Super Bowl LX, sitting alone in the stands holding a bouquet.
