Marvel fans are in for a treat as McDonald’s collaborates with Loki to introduce a special sauce in celebration of Season 2 of the hit series. The sauce will be available at McDonald’s restaurants starting this October, coinciding with the launch of the Tom Hiddleston-led show on Disney+.
The news has sent ripples of excitement through the Marvel fandom, as McDonald’s takes inspiration from the mischievous Asgardian trickster himself. The fast-food chain teased the collaboration on August 7 by sharing a short video on social media with a playful caption that promised no spoilers.
The video showcased clips from various movies and TV shows that have referenced McDonald’s over the years. From Seinfeld to Fifth Element and Coming to America, the montage eventually led to a brief scene from Loki Season 2, featuring Sophia Di Martino’s character, Sylvie, working at a McDonald’s restaurant.
Although the scene had already been glimpsed in the trailer for Loki Season 2, McDonald’s managed to build further anticipation by revealing the date ‘8.14.23’ at the end of the video. This date also appeared in an image shared alongside the video, hinting at more details to be revealed on August 14. However, it seems that someone may have accidentally let the sauce out of the bag.
Social media users and Marvel enthusiasts on TikTok began sharing videos this week, unveiling new packaging for McDonald’s Sweet and Sour sauces. The lids of the sauce containers now sport a teal green color with the logo of the Loki series and the description ‘as featured in Marvel Studios’ Loki,’ suggesting a tie-in between the show and the sauce.
The exact nature of the collaboration remains unclear. It is uncertain whether the Loki-branded sauce is simply a rebranded version of the existing offering or if it features a unique flavor. Additionally, it’s unknown if McDonald’s plans to introduce other product changes or new menu items as part of this exciting promotion. Fans will have to wait until August 14 to find out more, unless they stumble upon a time-slip themselves.
In Loki Season 2, viewers can expect a continuation of the thrilling adventures of the God of Mischief as he embarks on new escapades with the TVA (Time Variance Authority). The six-episode season is set to premiere on Disney+ on October 6 and will reportedly include a visit to the Golden Arches at some point.
If you’re a fan of Marvel, Loki, or McDonald’s, get ready to savor the fusion of these beloved entities in a tantalizing sauce coming soon to a McDonald’s near you.
