Select meals from the collection also come with opportunities to access Marvel-themed merchandise. The campaign begins with a limited-edition collectible tumbler, with further merchandise planned to be introduced in phases.
Burger King has also opened a pre-booking window through its app, featuring a limited-edition Doomsday Meal bundled with a collectible Avengers: Doomsday tumbler at a special price.
Speaking about the launch, Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King India, said the collaboration brings together the Marvel fandom and Burger King's signature Whopper experience. He added that the menu, themed packaging and merchandise are intended to extend the excitement of the film beyond the cinema.
The launch is supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign spanning digital promotions, in-restaurant activations, outdoor advertising and influencer partnerships. The strategy aims to engage both food enthusiasts and Marvel fans ahead of the film's release.
Guests can access the Avengers: Doomsday Collection through dine-in, takeaway and home delivery at Burger King restaurants across India. Orders are also available through the BK App and leading food delivery platforms.

Gurugram-based food brand The Masala Story has opened its first dine-in outlet on Golf Course Road, Sector 54, marking a new phase in its journey since its establishment in 2020. Known for its North Indian and Mughlai offerings through delivery and catering, the brand is now welcoming guests to a dedicated dining space while continuing its existing operations.
Spread across approximately 1,000 sq. ft., the new outlet has been designed as a small, intimate space with soft lighting and music. Its location in Sector 54 offers access to a mix of commercial offices, residential towers and an established food and café scene, allowing the brand to serve walk-in diners as well as nearby households.
At the heart of the brand's culinary operations is Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef of The Masala Story. Having previously worked as an academician, she pursued her interest in food through national and international culinary programmes. She now oversees the kitchen's day-to-day operations and personally develops the dishes and recipes featured on the menu.
The menu brings together several of the brand's signature preparations. Its Butter Chicken, named among Zomato's Top 10 in Gurgaon in 2025, is one of the highlights. Other offerings include slow-cooked Dal Makhani served in a clay handi, Paneer Lababdar, high-protein non-fried Paneer Cigar Rolls and Chicken Tikka.
The dessert selection includes the signature Gulab Jamun Nut, which presents the familiar flavours of gulab jamun in a doughnut shape, along with Phirni.
Speaking about the expansion, Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef, The Masala Story, said, “Our guests have trusted us with their meals at home, and this space lets us welcome them to our table for the first time. Every dish we serve carries a story written in spice, from our Butter Chicken to our slow-cooked Dal Makhani, and Golf Course Road, with its energy and love for good food, felt like the perfect place to share it.”
Beyond its dine-in and delivery operations, The Masala Story also caters to private and corporate gatherings. Its catering portfolio includes grazing tables, charcuterie and cheese boards, Mediterranean mezze, Mexican spreads, executive lunch combinations, and customised Jain, vegan and vegetarian menus.
