In addition to making some incredibly entertaining movies, Marvel Studios has created some pretty brilliant marketing campaigns (see Deadpool).
Yesterday the studio completely outdid themselves. They have now set the bar so high that I don't think it can ever be reached again.
The commercial for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 DVD is the greatest commercial ever created. Over 2 million people have chosen to watch this commercial in in last 24 hours.
If you haven't seen it yet, here it is:
The commercial is really a 3 minute long 70s/80s style music video. If you have ever seen the TV show Solid Gold, this video will look familiar. It will also look awesome!
Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn also directed this video (thank you!) which will also be available on the DVD that is being released on August 8th.
Spoiler Alert (In case you resisted watching the video)!!!
The video stars David Hasselhoff and features cameos by many of the stars of the movies including Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Michael Rooker, and Stan Lee Stan Lee.
