Dos Equis Reveals the New “Most Interesting Man in the World”

Dos Equis has released a feature-film style trailer, titled “Cantina,” revealing a glimpse of the new Most Interesting Man in the World. This October, Dos Equis will release “Challenger”, a full-length commercial that will illuminate how interesting has evolved and how the new character continues to embody the legendary status. 

Actor Augustin Legrand is the new face of one of the longest-running campaigns, bringing a contemporary twist to the legendary character. The new Most Interesting Man is a man of the times, and in this first glimpse, he shares hints of being a resourceful, rough and tumble guy, who remains a jack-of-all-trades hero that one would expect from the man bearing this infamous title. Always a friend to the animals, the Most Interesting Man is seen racing through Bangkok streets arm-in-arm with a pig, just one of the many interesting adventures teased in the “Cantina” spot. 

“The meaning of ‘interesting’ has evolved over the past decade, and this campaign features a new character who reflects what is interesting to today’s Dos Equis drinker,” says Andrew Katz, vice president of marketing for Dos Equis. “With this first glimpse, we’re opening the door to a new world of possibilities for what it means to be interesting. In the coming weeks, fans of the brand who are 21 and older will have the opportunity to get to know the new character in a uniquely interactive way. Stay tuned for more, as the brand will certainly have an interesting next few months.”

On Oct. 19, synced with Dos Equis’ College Football Playoff sponsorship, the brand will fully reveal the new Most Interesting Man with a classic vignette-style commercial. The October launch will be supported by social integrations on Snapchat, including a national lens available for College Football Game Day, Oct. 22.

As an evolution of one of the most celebrated advertising campaigns of the 21st century, this next installment of The Most Interesting Man in the World is deeply rooted in the belief that the meaning of interesting has changed over the past decade. Similar to superheroes and superspies, fans are accustomed to and enjoy different takes on the same character. Dos Equis is reinvigorating and modernizing The Most Interesting Man in the World with a fresh face to showcase a character who reflects what is interesting to today’s Dos Equis drinker and to millennial beer drinkers 21 years and older.

The latest spot from Dos Equis is part of an ongoing commitment from the brand to encourage fans to Stay Thirsty and live a more interesting life, say company officials.
