It seems to turn up a lot in trailers for action movies, as does "O fortuna" from Orff's Carmina Burana. I heard once that the music scoring is one of the last things that gets edited into a movie, so when the trailers come out there may not be any music written; also, since the trailer is a MASH-up of bits from all over the movie, they couldn't use the actual score from all those different parts or the music would have no continuity. So they just substitute Holst's Mars or some other piece of exciting music instead.

What is Mars the bringer of war?

Just another name for Aries, the Greek god of war. The Romans renamed him Mars. And they named a planet after him ... the same one the Greeks called Aries. It is also a composition by British composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934) best known for his suite of works called the Planets. One of the most popular works from that suite is "Mars the bringer of war".
