"Having our all-new Veloster immersed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a great way to entertain consumers and showcase the vehicle's stylish design and performance capabilities to a massive audience," said Dean Evans, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. "We wanted to take full advantage of this collaboration by engaging fans and providing them with experiences beyond the big screen."
"There's so much fun to be had with this film, which is why we're elated about the approach that Hyundai has taken with their campaign," said Mindy Hamilton, Marvel's SVP of Global Partnerships & Marketing. "The humor is there, the heart is there, and the creativity is firing on all cylinders because they're experimenting with the same sizing and scale gags that our heroes encounter all throughout the movie."

"Two police officers and a Veloster driver exchange in a very awkward standoff at a stoplight, as they each think the other is suggesting a race. Little do they know, a tiny Veloster based on the vehicle featured in the movie is the cause of confusion and is burning rubber between their cars, showcasing the car's cool and aggressive look."
