McDonald’s Releasing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Inspired Happy Meal
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the long-awaited follow up to the highest grossing Marvel movie of 2018, Black Panther, is right around the corner. Giving fans more reason to celebrate its return to theaters on Nov. 11th, McDonald’s is releasing a Happy Meal inspired by the world of Wakanda.
In true Happy Meal style, each box will include one of ten Black Panther: Wakanda Forever super hero toys based on characters from the movie. For a limited-time while supplies last, fans will have a chance to get their hands on favorites like Shuri and Okoye to new characters like Namor and Ironheart.
“The first Black Panther movie inspired a new generation of Marvel lovers – and that’s because of the powerful story it told, brought to life by an incredibly talented cast,” said Jennifer Healan, VP of U.S. Marketing, Brand Content and Engagement at McDonald’s. “It set a whole new standard for representation on the big screen. And now, we’re excited to bring that experience to our restaurants and help fans see and celebrate their inner hero with this new Happy Meal – because seeing is believing.”
The release of the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Happy Meal coincides with McDonald’s commitment to drive representation and to lift up voices in the communities they serve by supporting programs like:
