KFC has announced what it calls its boldest collaboration to date: a first-ever global venture with Marvel Studios' “Avengers: Doomsday,” built around the MCU's newest villain, Doctor Doom. The chain described the tie-up as its largest global collaboration yet, with 100 participating countries.

The announcement was made in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Nov. 4, 2026. The film opens in cinemas globally on 18 December.

A menu built around Doctor Doom

The Doctor Doom-inspired menu becomes available beginning 9 November in select markets and runs through January 2027. It includes limited-time food and drinks, themed packaging, exclusive Marvel-inspired KFC collectible figurines and in-store activations.

“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."

The 'Doomified' lineup

KFC's limited-time 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 covered in Smoky Green Mayo and Doom Cola sauce, available with or without Popcorn chicken

The flavors include Doom Cola sauce, described as a sweet, sticky caramelized cola glaze with light smoky BBQ notes, alongside a Smoky Green Mayo and Doom Dust.

Collectibles and packaging

In select markets, customers can receive 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 “Avengers: Doomsday” characters. KFC said the figurines are designed to drive repeat visits and social sharing throughout the campaign.

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

Campaign video and global reach

The 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. According to KFC, 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.
