McDonalds Shares Cryptic Loki Season 2 Clip

Loki Season 2 just got a cryptic tease from McDonald's on social media. The clip from the new batch of Marvel episodes feature Sylvie smiling behind one of the restaurant's registers. But, in walks Tom Hiddleston's trickster god and things change a bit. In the following posts, Loki's variant asks if he's going to order something. Clearly, McDonald's and Marvel Studios are both ecstatic about the partnership. The restaurant is using this as a way to launch it's "As Featured In Meal." With the enduring popularity of Loki as a character, there's no telling where the hype around the release could lead.

For long-time Marvel fans, it seems like a reunion they've been waiting for since midway through Phase 4. Sylvie really made an impression during Season 1 of the Disney+ show. Her actions in slaying He Who Remains altered the course of the entire MCU. Now, The Multiverse Saga is on and things are barreling towards Avengers: Secret Wars in the future. But, before any of that multiversal war stuff takes place, we're probably going to get Loki and Sylvie hashing some of their issues out over a Big Mac. Check out the new clip for yourself down below.

McDonalds Announces "As Featured In" Meal

McDonald's is branching out to other pop-culture heavy-hitters for the "As Featured In" Meal. The company has been releasing collaborations with the biggest names in music for a couple of years now. Names like Bad Bunny, Travis Scott, BTS, and Saweetie have all had their orders immortalized like that. Now, much like the Rick and Morty sauce fervor, the hunt for Loki sauce begins on August 14. Here's what the company had to say about the upcoming collaboration.

"It's not only our real-life fans who have a go-to order... for decades our favorite movie and TV characters have, too," said Morgan Flatley, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of New Business Ventures at McDonald's. "The As Featured In Meal is our biggest Famous Order yet, celebrating the most memorable McDonald's references across the world of entertainment."

A Wild Summer For McDonalds

The Grimace Shake craze swept through social media and TikTok this summer. But, it's been a wild couple months for the company. This current Loki integration is just the latest example of McDonald's using their status as a legacy brand to drive conversations on social media. As soon as the MCU tease hit the timeline, people wondered what it could all mean. A lot of people loved the idea of Tom Hiddleston's trickster wandering into a random restaurant in the past. Here's what the fast-food giant had to say about Grimace's day in the sun just a month ago.

"Our fans have amazing childhood memories of their birthdays at McDonald's...and Grimace's Birthday is all about paying homage to the amazing, fun moments we all share," Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald's USA said in a press release. "We're excited to put a modern spin on these memories to continue to drive McDonald's relevance with a new generation. Grimace is the perfect lovable icon to have McDonald's meet our fans at the intersection of nostalgia and culture."
