Hyundai is further boosting its brand awareness by featuring its Ioniq vehicles and mobility concepts as part of the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse film.
The new animated film will feature a flying version of Hyundai Motor’s Prophecy concept EV, predecessor of the Ioniq 6 model, along with examples of the company’s future mobility vision.
The co-operation with the film and Sony Pictures will extend to a global marketing campaign in May and July, with animated TV adverts, social media content, behind-the-scenes video and offline exhibition.
Hyundai has been working with Sony Pictures since 2020 and has featured its vehicles and branding in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the action adventure film Uncharted.
The new Across the Spider-Verse film will feature Hyundai advanced air mobility (AAM), purpose-built vehicles (PBV), an eco-friendly urban mobility device to accommodate diverse lifestyles; and Hub, a space for mobility transfer and community activities.
The movie also features a fictional self-driving robotaxi based on the Hyundai Pony, Hyundai Motor’s first-ever proprietary model. All are shown in the context of “Nueva York,” a city in the Spider-Verse in the year 2099.
Sungwon Jee, senior vice president and global chief marketing officer at Hyundai Motor, said: “Through our partnership, we aim to present our future mobility vision with entertainment content that younger generations love.
“This campaign will be welcomed by customers and we hope to build a positive momentum for the Hyundai brand.”
