Marvel actors Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, and Tom Hiddleston star in their own series-specific vignettes. To make the Hyundai Tucson campaign more exciting for both Hyundai and Marvel fans, the storytelling is connected seamlessly to the narratives of the characters’ Disney+ series.

The Disney+ Series includes “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” featuring Sam Wilson, “WandaVision” starred by Wanda Maximoff, and “Loki” which was launched last June 9. Moreover, Hyundai and Marvel Studios will release additional creative inspired by ‘What if...?’, Marvel Studios’ first animated Series, later this year.

“The Marvel Cinematic Universe has captivated audiences and it’s an incredible opportunity to utilize their characters and storylines with custom creative for the all-new Tucson. This promotional partnership elevates our biggest launch campaign,” said Hyundai Motor America CMO Angela Zepeda.

The result is a sophisticated, compelling creative campaign that we’re incredibly proud of and believe will resonate with Marvel fans.”
