Coca-Cola is using augmented reality to enhance its latest collaboration with Disney, allowing consumers to unlock digital collectibles by scanning limited-edition packaging featuring illustrations of more than 30 Marvel characters.

The brand introduced the campaign with a film blending live action and animation employing a 2D comic book style.
