Kia Taps Christopher Walken for 2016 Super Bowl Commercial
Kia has released a teaser for its upcoming 2016 Super Bowl commercial.
Last year, the Korean automaker enlisted the help of actor Pierce Brosnan to show off its Sorento, and this year Kia will focus on its Optima with the help of legendary Christopher Walken. The teaser doesn’t show too much, but Kia does give a hint as to what the full spot will focus on with the video’s description saying “Find what you’re looking for 02/07/16. #AddPizzazz.
There’s also a little bit of a play on words with a “Walken Closet” in the commercial – get it?
