Hyundai has announced that both the Ioniq 5 and Tucson EV cars will feature in the latest Spider-Man film, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.'
The movie is set to start in NZ cinemas on December 16th, and will be the Hollywood debut for both cars.
The Ioniq 5, however, will also be appearing in the latest TV ad alongside Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, and his best friend Ned Leeds portrayed by Jacob Batalon. The 90-second commercial called “Only Way Home” was directed by Jon Watts, the director of the latest Spider-Man trilogy. Spider-Man makes his way to New York, making use of the Ioniq 5’s 480 km range.
Fans of both Spider-Man and Hyundai will be able to grab themselves a special edition poster of the film featuring the electric model, as well as a series of wallpapers.
