Are you enthusiastic about a new Marvel movie, after seeing the highly expected Black Panther? You have the right reasons to be so, since action is more complex, villains get more attention and those effects are breathtaking. Well, next in line is The Avengers: Infinity War.
The movie is set for release on April 27th, 2018 in the UK. The American public will see its premiere on May 4th (allegedly, also the Star Wars release date). The movie stands out as reportedly being the biggest blockbuster, due to a £400 million budget. Speaking of brands, this Marvel Cinematic Universe movie promotes its own legacy. Before looking into the future, let’s see what set the table for this superhero movie in the past. Read this article about Marvel’s logo history and see the details that made this brand famous.
The Public-Friendly Audi
Audi is so visible in the Avengers movies, that you need to technically not see the movie, to avoid it. Audi vehicles are not surprising and usually fall off as victims, as they take part in destruction scenes.
However, the brand got involved in supporting the movie and generated plenty of engagement. The brand’s Twitter account featured free tickets contests, trivia and much more. Also, let’s remember that the brand also took part in the Iron Man movies, with the R8 model. Audi is not a newbie in Marvel movies and should exploit the AudiAvengers hashtag more.
Tech-Enthusiast Gillette
Gillette may not have been the top brand visible in the last Avengers movie. However, it did know how to earn its public.
The brand developed a razor which featured “Avengers-inspired technology” with models for each of the superheroes. However, no product was available for purchase. The fictional razors were the result of a partnership with Stan Lee and they featured a successful Facebook video. Though the initiative teased and then disappointed collectors, we’d love to see more of those marketing sparkles.
Canned Dr. Pepper
Dr. Pepper created a social buzz by creating a collection of product cans based on The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The brand was visible through the #oneofakindavengers and plenty of content.
Dr. Pepper had contests, videos, and exclusive content for the products’ fans. The cans with the superheroes were successful and you can even see know people who sell such collectibles and even mention they are “unopened”, though undrinkable.
See-Through Samsung
For Samsung, superhero movies are no strangers. The brand had plenty of visibility in The Amazing Spiderman, among others.
If Apple had its safe place in the Captain America movies, for Samsung there was room in the Avengers. In the last Avengers movie, Tony Stark had a scene where he offered a glimpse into future technology and held a see-through fictional phone. The brand also released a Captain America-themed phone due to the collaboration.
Action-Focused Under Armour
The clothing brand had almost 1 ½ minutes of screen time in the last Avengers movie. Under Armour provided clothing for Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) throughout the entire movie. The brand was also visible in Captain America: The White Soldier.
What’s eye-catching about this brand is that regularly it sells sports clothing. However, in the movie it’s associated with action and tech-friendly outfits. This makes it even more interesting for the next Marvel movie. The brand also developed a collection of compressed t-shirts for superhero collectibles enthusiasts. Maybe it will also do so after the new movie.
Is There a Lexus Around?
Lexus is the car brand loyal to the Black Panther. The brand was visible through the Marvel Cinematic Universe history. However, it did not get among the top 3 most visible brands. Yet, Lexus was there even for Comic-Con 2017.
Moreover, the recent Lexus LS 500 F SPORT model had a highly appreciated ad which aired during the 2018 Super Bowl. Of course, the vehicle will appear in the February Black Panther movie, but Lexus tends to be spectacular. It might just do so in the next Avengers movie.
The Classic Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola seems to love limited collection cans. In 2016, the brand released a collection of Marvel cans and packed the campaign into an entire hunt.
The mini-cans were not for regular sale but were given as awards to marketing contests. They became collectibles and Marvel enthusiasts joined the hunt. The promotion came from a partnership between Coca-Cola and Marvel itself. It even included a teaser that invited the public to “watch the story unfold”.
That’s a Wrap!
The Avengers: Infinity War is highly expected by Marvel fans, superhero movie enthusiasts, critics and marketers altogether. Brands wait in line and work on their strategies.
We cannot guarantee that the above brands will appear in the next Avengers movie. However, we have good reasons to expect to see them there.

A man black leather jacket
stands with quiet confidence. The jacket adds a bold, timeless edge to his look, suggesting strength and individuality. Its dark color and smooth texture give him a stylish, slightly mysterious presence, blending classic fashion with modern attitude. The overall appearance feels effortless, cool, and self-assured.
The Audi product placement is honestly getting kind of distracting at this point. I’d rather see them actually sell those Avengers razors instead of just making a cool video for them.
Putting a Mountain Dew sponsorship in the middle of an alien invasion would completely ruin the stakes for me. The idea of Tony Stark grabbing a Dorito mid-battle is just ridiculous.
If I see one more Audi product placement in a Marvel movie I’m gonna lose it. Just let the superheroes drive something else for once.
The product placement in these movies is already pushing it, we really don’t need to turn every superhero into a walking billboard for razors. Half the stuff they push in these brand tie-ins is barely even canon anyway.
making a fake razor you can’t even buy is a weird way to market something.
Audi’s just gonna end up as scrap metal in a destruction scene anyway.
The Audi placement is honestly getting a bit played out at this point. I’d much rather see them lean into the weird stuff like those mock Gillette razors instead of just another car chase.
Imagine making a whole ad for razors you can’t even buy. Total waste.
Seeing more Audi product placement is the last thing these movies need, it’s already impossible to miss. That Gillette marketing campaign was honestly just weird since you couldn’t even buy the razors.
Audi getting totaled in every single action scene is basically a tradition at this point.
Getting a verification screen just to read a blog post is honestly such a miserable user experience.
Gillette making razors you couldn’t even buy is such a joke
Audi basically just pays to have their cars smashed in every single movie.
takes forever just to prove i’m not a bot
Audi is already in basically every single Marvel movie though. They don’t need to try any harder.
Audi is already everywhere in the MCU, they mostly just end up getting totaled in the background anyway
Audi’s R8 crashing through the city in Iron Man 3 was a slick Easter egg that actually shows up in Infinity War too, and that’s what I’m talking about. The Gillette “Avengers razor” idea sounded fun, but it never turned into a real product, so it just felt like another promo stunt.
They already feel like walking commercials half the time.
Audi literally pops up in every Avengers battle, like the R8 just can’t catch a break. Guess they’re banking on those free‑ticket contests as much as we are.
Red Bull would actually be pretty funny if they leaned into it.
Still stuck on this verification screen.
