It's A Multiverse Thing, You Wouldn't Understand
To play off Deadpool's X-Men quip, it looks like the studio couldn't afford another superhero, but at least Thor's arm made an appearance
In a little over four weeks, "Avengers: Doomsday" will arrive in cinemas, pitting beloved heroes – including the Avengers, the Wakandans, X-Men, and Fantastic Four – against Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. In the lead-up to the new Avenger film's release (not to be confused with the Jeep Avenger), Jeep has released a new commercial featuring several iconic Marvel characters behind the wheel of the brand's SUVs and off-roaders, and the clip is already attracting plenty of attention.
For fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's not the Jeep models that'll be the highlight of this commercial. Instead, it's the little tidbits from the film that are getting fans excited. For example, the final scene showing the complete Jeep family appears to show Doctor Doom's Doomstadt castle for the very first time. The commercial also previews the small fictional nation of Latveria, located in Eastern Europe. The presence of seven fiery portals behind the Jeep models at the end of the advertisement has also prompted speculation that Doctor Strange could be featured in the film, despite his presence yet to be confirmed by filmmakers.
Jeep/Marvel collab
The commercial, titled "A Jeep 4x4 For Any Universe," is the latest in a collaboration between the automaker and Marvel that's already led to the launch of the special Wrangler America250 special edition. This model launched in May, has a red, white, and blue design with a Captain America shield on the spare wheel cover. Jeep and Marvel have also launched a limited-edition cover for a classic comic book that features this special Wrangler.
The full Jeep range is featured in this commercial. This includes the Grand Wagoneer, which is shown being driven by the H.E.R.B.I.E. robot, and the popular Grand Cherokee featuring a cameo of Thor's Stormbreaker axe. The commercial also includes The Thing going off-roading in a bright red Jeep Wrangler while appearing to flee from a huge tsunami in the background. A Jeep Gladiator is also shown weaving through burning rubble and climbing over rocks.
