Mountain Dew has officially joined the sponsorship bandwagon for X-Men: Days of Future Past in an effort to bring fans of the X-Men franchise even closer to the magic of the films.
Mountain Dew announced the official international-wide partnership with 20th Century Fox for the X-Men: Days of Future Past film on the 17th of March 2014.
The partnership hopes to bring X-Men fans closer to the action by launching a campaign that will engage with fans by bringing them interactive content and experiences across nearly 30 countries, including South Africa. Mountain Dew is calling this their largest entertainment promotion yet.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is the spiritual sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand as well as the recent The Wolverine film, and is the direct sequel of X-Men: First Class.
The new movie merges cast members from the original X-Men film trilogy with those of X-Men First Class for an epic cinematic journey of good versus evil. As such, X-Men: Days of Future Past stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Micheal Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as returning superstars Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry.
The promotional campaign will engage consumers across multiple touch points – including exciting competitions and prizes, custom cinema programs, activations and the sharing of exclusive behind the scenes content through digital and social platforms – like through this very lengthy hashtag: #DEWXMENDOFP.
