Available beginning 9 November in select markets and through January 2027, KFC's new Doctor Doom-inspired menu includes a lineup of limited time food and drinks, packaging, exclusive Marvel-inspired KFC collectible figurines, and in-store activations, all designed to transport fans to the Avengers universe.

"This is KFC's most expansive joint venture to date, and we can't wait to welcome guests into our extension of the MCU," said Scott Mezvinsky, Global CEO, KFC. "We're not just teaming up with the most anticipated movie of the decade. We're leaning into its biggest, baddest character, and delivering a menu worthy of the moment. This isn't just about chicken – it's about putting KFC at the heart of a global cultural phenomenon in the most epic way we could."

By joining forces with MCU fandom, KFC is giving the community an opportunity to celebrate two cultural icons and build on the anticipation for Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Doomsday," which brings one of Marvel's most iconic and long-awaited characters to the big screen.

"Avengers: Doomsday" brings together some of the most iconic characters in our storytelling history, and we're always looking for creative ways to extend that excitement beyond the screen," said Holly Frank, VP, Global Marketing Partnerships & Promotions at Disney. "We're thrilled to be working with KFC on a fun, imaginative campaign that taps into the anticipation of Doctor Doom's arrival, giving fans a unique way to connect with the film ahead of its release in cinemas."

The limited-time menu offerings feature a bold lineup of flavors, including Doom Cola sauce – a sweet, sticky caramelized cola glaze with light smoky BBQ notes – alongside a Smoky Green Mayo, and Doom Dust, a vibrant green seasoning with smoky charred lime and chili. Customers can pair these with their favorite KFC items to experience them in a whole new way.

KFC's "Doomified" menu items (available in select markets) include:

Doom Burger: KFC's Original Recipe (or Spicy/Zinger or Extra Crispy) with lettuce, sliced pickles, cheese, Doom Cola sauce and Smoky Green Mayo on a black sesame bun
Doom Dripped Wings: Hot wings drip'd (or dunked) in Doom Cola sauce
Doom Bucket: KFC's iconic chicken served with Doctor Doom-inspired LTO dipping sauces and Doom Dust
Doom Loaded Fries: Signature seasoned fries available covered in Smoky Green Mayo and Doom Cola sauce, available with or without Popcorn chicken
Doom Dust: Vibrant green seasoning with smoky charred lime and chili; designed to be dusted over anything and everything
Doom Shake: Vanilla milkshake with chocolate and peppermint sauce (or Green Apple sauce), topped with chocolate cookie crumb
Doom Supreme Fizz: A visually-striking layered drink combining sparkling lemonade, green apple syrup (or kiwi), finished with boba pearls for refreshing bursts of flavor and a distinctly Doom-inspired green-and-black look
Masked Mozza Melts: 3x crispy mozzarella sticks served with Smoky Green Mayo or Doom Cola sauce and Doom Dust

In addition to the limited-time menu, enthusiasts in select markets can walk away with an exclusive Colonel Sanders Cosplay Collection figurine, with any Doom menu purchase, while supplies last. Five looks are available to collect, each reimagining the Colonel with looks inspired by their favorite "Avengers: Doomsday" characters -- designed to drive repeat visits and social sharing throughout the campaign.

All "Doomified" menu items also come in limited-edition packaging – a dark, iron-riveted design featuring Doctor Doom's mask – carrying the "Avengers: Doomsday" and KFC branding throughout.

The campaign's creative idea mirrors its cultural ambition. Doctor Doom is one of the most iconic Marvel supervillains, so it only made sense for KFC to strike a deal with him on behalf of its guests. The resulting campaign video, running globally in 15- and 30-second formats, imagines Doctor Doom looking out over New York City after an epic battle with the Avengers, where every restaurant has been reduced to rubble, except one KFC – standing completely untouched. All it had to do was create a menu worthy of his name.

The "Doomified" menu is available in KFC locations across 100+ countries. It will not be available in the United States, India or China.
