KFC Reveals Official Avengers: Doomsday Menu 'Worthy' of Dr. Doom

KFC has unveiled its official Avengers: Doomsday menu, a limited-time offering worthy of supervillain Dr. Doom. The collaboration comes ahead of the highly anticipated release of the Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters on December 18. The menu, set to debut on November 9, features a range of flavors inspired by the dark, dystopian theme of the film.

Fans can look forward to a Smoky Green Mayo, a sweet and caramelized Doom Cola sauce, and a smoky charred lime and chili seasoning known as Doom Dust. These new flavors will be added to KFC's classic dishes, such as Dripped Wings, Loaded Fries, and the Chicken Bucket. The Dr. Doom Menu also includes special items like the Doom Burger, featuring a patty topped with the Smoky Green Mayo, and the Doom Shake, a vanilla-flavored shake topped with chocolate and peppermint sauce for an eye-catching green and black appearance.

The menu's collectible aspect includes limited-edition packaging inspired by Dr. Doom's green and black aesthetic, as well as five Colonel Sanders Cosplay Collection figurines while supplies last. A Doomified Colonel Sanders figurine is shown enjoying a bucket of fried chicken in a promotional image.

The campaign has been marked by KFC's commitment to the Marvel villain’s color scheme, with the Doom Burger sporting a Doom Cola sauce that appears to leak like ectoplasm and a black sesame bun. The Doom Cola sauce is a central component of the new drink offerings, including the Doom Shake and Doom Supreme Fizz. The menu also offers a batch of mozzarella sticks served with Dr. Doom sauces, putting KFC in direct competition with Jack in the Box's Doomsday Dipper Box.

KFC's global CEO, Scott Mezvinsky, emphasized that this collaboration is more than just a chicken promotion. He stated that it is an attempt to put KFC at the forefront of a global cultural phenomenon, making a significant impact in a unique and epic way.
