It's been two years since audiences were first introduced to the world of Wakanda, and Marvel Studios is finally giving fans what they've been waiting for with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In honor of the Black Panther movie's return to theaters on November 11, McDonald's will release a Happy Meal inspired by the fictitious world of Wakanda. However, this is not the first time McDonald's has released a Happy Meal inspired by a Marvel film. In 2015, the fast-food chain released a Happy Meal inspired by "Ant-Man," and in 2016, they released one for "Captain America: Civil War."
Each box of Mcdonald's will include one of ten superhero toys based on characters from the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The toys are inspired by the Afro-futuristic world of Wakanda and its rich culture. Each toy has unique accessories, such as a mask, cape, or shield. This promotion is a great way for kids to get excited about the upcoming movie. It's also a fun way for adults to collect all ten of the superhero toys.
In a recent interview, Jennifer Healan, VP of U.S. Marketing, Brand Content and Engagement at McDonald's, spoke about the company's excitement for the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Marvel on the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," said Healan. "This is a groundbreaking film with an amazing cast and we can't wait to see it."
Healan discussed how McDonald's is working on getting fans excited about the film by offering exclusive Black Panther-themed Happy Meals. She also hinted at some surprises that will be announced closer to the film's release. "We want our customers to have a truly unique experience when they come to our restaurants," said Healan. "We have planned some great things that we think fans will enjoy.
