Jeep® brand and Marvel reveal the next phase of their marketing and product collaboration today, with the launch of the Summer of Jeep campaign, "The Original Superheroes."
"The Original Superheroes," a powerful nod to the brand's origins, captures the Jeep Wrangler A250 edition being airdropped from a military cargo plane in a striking homage to the Willys MB deployments of World War II.
On land, the Jeep brand's iconic nameplates, including Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Gladiator, Grand Wagoneer and Compass, each driven by a real U.S. veteran, all captains across land, air and sea, close ranks alongside the Jeep Wrangler A250 Edition. The two pilots in the cargo plane are also veterans who served in other ranks.
"The Original Superheroes" reframes heroism by spotlighting the real-life men and women whose missions Jeep vehicles once supported on the front lines, reinforcing the idea that heroism is not fictional, it is forged through service, selflessness and courage. The veterans' service ranged from 3 -24 years; they are no longer active duty and all were honorably discharged (during the filming, a military consultant was on set to ensure authenticity and accuracy to military culture).
The featured captains include:
Capt. Gary Neuger (Jeep Wrangler A250 driver)
Capt. Kschris Anda (Jeep Wrangler driver)
Capt. Scott Kennedy (Jeep Grand Cherokee driver)
Capt. Joz McCaw (Jeep Cherokee driver)
Capt. Margaret McCoy (Jeep Compass driver)
Capt. Roberto Portales (Jeep Gladiator driver)
Capt. Hiram Murray (Jeep Grand Wagoneer driver)
