SEOUL, Jan. 16, 2018 – Fans of Marvel’s Ant-Man will soon be introduced to the stylish design and exceptional performance capabilities of the all-new Hyundai Veloster as it will play a significant role in Marvel Studio’ “Ant-Man and the Wasp” feature film. Teaming up with this major franchise is part of a global marketing initiative to launch the newly redesigned sporty coupe while increasing Hyundai’s brand awareness with Marvel fans around the world.
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster will find itself at home in the Super Hero world when it is used on screen in a hot pursuit. The heroic scene showcases the Veloster’s capabilities in serving as the ultimate escape vehicle as the tailing cars can’t handle the speed and handling of the Veloster—no matter its size.
“Similar to Marvel’s passionate fans, the Hyundai Veloster attracts customers who are always looking for that next extraordinary moment and yearn for new discoveries and opportunities.” said Dean Evans, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “With both the Veloster and Ant-Man thriving on individuality, we feel this partnership is a great fit and we’re excited to be accompanying Marvel on their next adventure.”
Success is a given when it comes to Marvel and the Ant-Man franchise provides a platform for global visibility. Released in 2015, “Ant-Man” achieved a global box office of $519M and quickly became a fan favorite. The sequel is highly anticipated with talk of how the plot of the film could “shake up” the Marvel Cinematic universe. Marvel Studio’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp” will be released on July 6.
Other Hyundai vehicles will also be making their Hollywood debut in “Ant Man and the Wasp”.
