Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ has turned into one of the biggest fast-food events of the year. With the film opening in theaters on December 18, restaurant chains around the world are rolling out themed menus, packaging and collectibles built around Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom and his superhero rivals.

The campaign has been especially busy over the past week. Several major brands have revealed their own takes on the film, each giving fans a different way to join in before the big release.

The latest tie-in to catch fans’ attention involves KFC. Cosmic Marvel shared what it described as the first promo for a KFC and ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ collaboration, and the clip quickly spread online.

The roughly 1-minute video has a cinematic look, opening on a quiet roadside restaurant with a cartoonish burger mascot sign that reads “Order Here.” A damaged structure looms in the background, hinting that something more dramatic is about to happen.

Full details of the partnership, including menu items and which countries are involved, haven’t been officially confirmed in the materials shared so far. A report from Australian food site Frugal Feeds has pointed to a KFC Australia Avengers menu called “The Allegiance,” but fans should wait for KFC to confirm the full lineup in their region.

KFC is far from alone. Jack in the Box launches its Doomsday Dipping Box on November 5, a limited-time meal with popcorn chicken, 2 mozzarella sticks, 2 tacos, seasoned curly fries, and a drink in custom ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ packaging.

The box comes with 3 sauces: a new mystery flavor called Assemble Sauce, the returning Mutant Marinara, and Fantastic Buttermilk Ranch. Each box also includes 1 of 8 blind-bagged puzzle magnets featuring Cyclops, Gambit, Invisible Woman, The Thing, Captain America, Thor, Doctor Doom and a Jack in the Box design.

Dunkin’ launches its own themed lineup on November 4 at participating U.S. locations. The menu includes the Iced Captain’ccino, the Clobbered Cloud Latte inspired by The Thing, the Wakandan Daydream Refresher, the Optic Blast Lemonade, and 2 Doom drinks.

Collectors can also pick up a Doctor Doom MUNCHKINS tin, a color-changing mug, tumblers and character cup sleeves. The Doomsday Donut and cotton candy-filled Avenging Donut round out the bakery side of the promotion.

In India, Burger King teased its own collaboration with a video styled like the film’s famous chair-based cast announcement. Instead of actors’ names, each chair showed a menu item.

The confirmed items include the Doomsday Whopper, Magneto Crunchy Chicken Burger, Shuri Vibranium Fries, Thor Thunder Nuggets, and Fantastic Fizz. Burger King India has hinted that more items could follow.

The wave of tie-ins reflects how big ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is expected to be. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film brings together the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Wakandans and the X-Men to face Downey Jr.’s Doom.

Beyond restaurants, the film has also teamed up with WWE for an ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ edition of Worlds Collide, along with themed snacks and merchandise. For fans, there’s no shortage of ways to get into the spirit before opening night.

As more details about the KFC partnership emerge, it should become clearer what fans can actually order. For now, the promo has already added to the excitement around Marvel’s next big event.
