Product placement in the extended Super Bowl ad reassured us that, similar to previous Marvel Studios flicks, despite a new distributor, an eventual Dr. Pepper marketing campaign would launch for The Avengers upon release. And now, the Youtube channel for the "uniquely blended" beverage has made things official merging the first look at their eight limited edition, collectible cans, with the latest theatrical trailer. Check it out below!
UPDATE: Jeremy Renner's "Hawkeye" features on the first officially revealed collectible can!
Although the campaign, which'd offer promotional give-aways & exclusive content, hasn't officially launched, it may have kicked off early outside the states.
@fishirulez of Mexico has posted personal photos of a couple cans.
Stan Lee took part in the campaigns for both
Iron Man 2 and
Thor, cameoing in both of their commercials. Don't expect
The Avengers tie-in commercial until April next month, but until then, rewatch the other films'.
