Hyundai Motor’s All-Electric IONIQ 5 will make its Hollywood debut in Sony Pictures’ upcoming film “Spider-Man: No Way Home”. The all-New TUCSON will also make an appearance in the blockbuster.
Leading up to the film’s December 15 theatrical release, Hyundai Motor has launched a campaign that includes a global TV commercial and a variety of digital promotional activities.
The campaign stems from the global multi-picture promotional partnership Hyundai Motor inked with Sony Pictures in May 2020 to showcase the company’s ‘human-centered mobility vision via product and technological innovations’.
Hyundai Motor’s long-form commercial, “Only Way Home,” is directed by Jon Watts, the director of all three of the most recent Spider-Man films, and features Tom Holland as Spider-Man and his best friend Ned Leeds played by Jacob Batalon.
In this TV spot, Spider-Man is intent on clearing his name and comes out of hiding, hitching a 300-mile ride to New York with Ned in the all-electric IONIQ 5.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the third Spider-Man film created by Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, starring Tom Holland, who plays the role of high-schooler Peter Parker and his alias, Spider-Man.
Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Customer Experience Division of Hyundai Motor Company, says: “The placement of the all-electric IONIQ 5 and all-new TUCSON in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ marks the first meaningful milestone in the strategic partnership between Hyundai Motor Company and Sony Pictures Entertainment. We expect great marketing impact from this collaboration. This exciting film and the two vehicles’ inclusion in key moments of the storyline played by the main characters will exhilarate the minds of millions of viewers around the world.”
Angela Zepeda, Chief Marketing Officer of Hyundai Motor America, adds: “Our promotional partnerships with characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been highly effective and we think Spider-Man fans around the world will enjoy what we’ve created, while learning more about our breakthrough all-electric SUV.”
Jeffrey Godsick, EVP of Global Partnerships and Brand Management and Head of Location Based Entertainment at Sony Pictures Entertainment, comments: “Hyundai is synonymous with leading technology and visually innovative design, so it comes as no surprise that they have created a cutting-edge marketing campaign for the IONIQ 5 and the highly anticipated ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ – the foundation of which is customized content made exclusively for this deal. We have no doubt that Spider-Man fans will have a lot of fun with this innovative collaboration.”
The new film’s predecessor “Spider-Man: Far From Home” grossed USD 1.131 billion worldwide as the fourth-highest-grossing movie of 2019 and the 25th-highest-grossing movie of all time.
