[Captain Morgan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-kit) x [M3GAN 2.0](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m3gan-20-inspired-menu) kick off summer with a thrilling collaboration celebrating the release of the highly anticipated horror sequel, 'M3GAN 2.0.' Inspired by M3GAN’s fierce and viral legacy, the brand has unveiled a glow-in-the-dark, limited-edition spiced rum bottle -- a collectible that amplifies both the chaos and the cocktail vibes. Dubbed 'Captain M3GAN,' this launch features the classic Captain Morgan Original Spiced [Rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraken-rum-1), now wrapped in killer new packaging, and is available across 10 U.S. states.

Alongside the release, Captain Morgan has created an exclusive 'Cocktail Courier kit' themed around M3GAN 2.0, plus a sweepstakes offering fans a chance to win movie tickets and more. The campaign also features comedian Sherry Cola, who lends her signature wit to spotlight the summer’s boldest drinks moment -- rum & cola, with a twist of dark flair.
