Heineken's 30-second slot during the first half of the Super Bowl game will run a non-alcoholic beer commercial. The Heineken 0.0 ad is presented in collaboration with Marvel and features beloved actor Paul Rudd dressed as Ant-Man. The commercial simultaneously celebrates sobriety and the upcoming February release of the highly anticipated “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."
In the non-alcoholic beer commercial, Paul Rudd's six-legged sidekick judges him for ordering a beer on duty. The superhero then "clarifies that the beer he’s enjoying during a short break from his superhero duties is actually nonalcoholic."
The popularity of non-alcoholic beverages has certainly soared in recent years as consumers prioritize their wellbeing. Heineken 0.0 is considered to be a leader in the non-alcoholic beer segment as the brand zeroes in on "campaigns that celebrate sober gatherings."
