Which Marvel characters appear in the Jeep advert?
There are blink-and-you’ll-miss-them appearances from a number of the film’s characters, with a focus on CGI characters who don’t feature the face of a well known actor.
The advert features Thor’s arm (presumably Chris Hemsworth is too good for a car advert he doesn’t get direct cash from, and who could blame him?)
Mysterious X-Men mutant Nightcrawler wisps his way through the middle of a petrol Cherokee as it blasts through a snowy Latverian forest.
It’s not electric, of course, which is probably why he doesn’t hang around. It does make you wonder whether that black vapour that’s in the air when he disappears will stain the upholstery.
Rock-faced member of the Fantastic Four ‘The Thing’ drives a Wrangler on his way to a scene where some of Earth’s mightiest heroes meet with King Namor from the Black Panther movies.
It’s not just heroes, there’s also a soldier from the TVA (Time Variance Authority) driving the hand of a giant Sentinel robot in the back of a Jeep Gladiator and taking it to Professor Xavier’s school for gifted comic book characters while Cajun poker player Gambit chucks his weaponised playing cards at the truck.
Fantastic Four robot HERBIE also pops up in New York turning on the air conditioning (does he feel the heat?) in a Grand Wagoneer, as Captain America swoops about in the air. This is possibly the only robotaxi I'd want to get in, incidentally.
Which of Jeep’s electric cars feature in the Avengers: Doomsday campaign?
Basically every Jeep is in the advert, except ironically the Jeep Avenger, which might have been a step too far for Marvel.
That would have been a nice EV for Jeep to include – as it is, the only electric car from its lineup to appear in the advert is the Recon.
It appears stage left in the hero shot (minus all the heroes, weirdly) and is missing all of its doors. That's an actual design feature, not a sign the car has been in a fight.
The Recon is a meaty off-roading electric SUV that gets up to 250 miles of range from its 100kWh battery.
We’re not sure what range anxiety is like when you’re going to another universe, but these superheroes are all very brave so they’ll be able to cope.
It’s all a far cry though from the Audi e-tron GT concept car that Tony Stark drove in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame or even the BMW iX3 that Sadie Sink was rolling about in during this year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day though...
