Burger King sign on Feb. 15, 2022, in Daly City, Calif. The fast food chain just launched a Whopper collaboration with Sony.
Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesIs your Spidey-sense tingling? That’s probably because Burger King launched an all-new Whopper — and a new special dessert.
Debuting Monday, the Spider-Verse Whopper will feature a burger patty, the usual accoutrements, and Swiss cheese between a special red bun with black sesame seeds. The bread is supposed to reflect Spider Man’s costume, according to the U.S. Sun.
The new Whopper is launching to promote “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” which hits theaters June 2. It is the sequel to the hit 2018 animated movie, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
Along with the Spider-Man Whopper, Burger King is also introducing a Spidey-inspired dessert — the Spider-Verse sundae. The soft serve swirl ice cream will be topped with red and black “popping” candy.
This is not the first time the fast food company has partnered with entertainment and technology giant Sony. In October 2020, in the lead-up to the launch of the PlayStation 5, Burger King’s mascot the Burger King teased the much-awaited gaming console in a somewhat cryptic tweet that showed a blue light emanating from a Burger King brown bag. When the PlayStation Twitter account responded on social media, it was evident that the two companies were following in the footsteps of Taco Bell and Microsoft promoting the Xbox Series X.
The Whopper and sundae will be available through June 21.
