This animated blockbuster takes the concept of "cool" to new heights by featuring a flying version of Hyundai's futuristic Prophecy concept EV model, giving a thrilling glimpse into Hyundai's future mobility vision. But that's not all - our friends at Hyundai are putting the spotlight on their acclaimed IONIQ all-electric vehicles with a globally aligned marketing campaign that will have everyone's spidey-senses tingling.
This collaboration is part of a global promotional partnership that Hyundai Motor forged with Sony Pictures in 2020, showcasing Hyundai's human-centered mobility vision through groundbreaking products and technological innovations. Previous cinematic adventures included "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021), where the IONIQ 5 dedicated EV and Tucson SUV stole the show, and "Uncharted" (2022), featuring the impressive Tucson Beast concept SUV and a lineup of Hyundai's production cars. Now, get ready for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," the sequel to the Academy Award®-winning animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (2018).
As the movie swings into cinemas worldwide starting in June, audiences will be treated to the awe-inspiring 'Flying Prophecy,' a real-world concept car that inspired the design of Hyundai's IONIQ 6. They'll also catch a glimpse of the 'Electrified Streamliner,' which recently secured three World Car of the Year honors and a prestigious 'Gold' iF Design Award.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" showcases a whole array of Hyundai Motor's future mobility concepts that are set to transform our cities. Prepare to be amazed by advanced air mobility (AAM), a groundbreaking solution utilizing airspace for faster transit; purpose-built vehicles (PBV), eco-friendly urban mobility devices designed to fit diverse lifestyles; and Hub, a space that seamlessly connects mobility and community activities. And let's not forget the fictional self-driving robotaxi inspired by Hyundai's very first proprietary model, the iconic Hyundai Pony. All these incredible innovations are showcased in the mesmerizing backdrop of "Nueva York," a city in the Spider-Verse set in the year 2099.
But that's not all! Hyundai Motor and Sony Pictures have something special in store with their multi-dimensional global marketing campaign that will be rolling out between May and July. Get ready for an animated TV commercial featuring Spider-Man, IONIQ 6, and IONIQ 5, complete with a brand-new song produced by the sensational Metro Boomin.
