Dodge has just announced its promotional partnership with Universal Pictures for “F9,” which arrives in U.S. theaters June 25. In support of the film’s release, Dodge is launching a multi-tier marketing campaign, “Superpower,” which includes television, social and digital media extensions and in-theater placements.
The co-branded campaign promotes the blockbuster “Fast” franchise, which has earned more than $5 billion worldwide, and Dodge//SRT, the world’s fastest and most powerful muscle cars. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody is featured in “F9,” in addition to Dom Toretto’s vintage 1960 classic Dodge Charger. The 60-second “Superpower” video launches today, June 11, across the Dodge brand’s social media channels. A 30-second version of the “Superpower” spot will run across television.
Cars, movies and music come together again as part of the summer multimedia campaign, with the Dodge brand and Atlantic Records combining efforts in support of “F9.” The official music video for the new track “I Won” (featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Jack Harlow & 24kGoldn), included in “F9,” features Dodge vehicles, including the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody and the 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock.
“F9” is the ninth chapter in the “Fast & Furious” saga, which has endured for two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world.
Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, the upcoming “The Suicide Squad”).
“F9” sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.
The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster and Sung Kang, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren, with Kurt Russell and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron. “F9” also features Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom’s past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna.
