Ben Affleck, 'DunKings' return with Super Bowl commercial for Dunkin'
Dunkin' has doubled down on the DunKings, with Ben Affleck again helming a boy band to tout the superiority of the coffee chain that once was synonymous with the Northeast but now is available virtually everywhere from Tacoma to Tallahassee.
And with "DunKings 2: The Movie," the brand has gone fittingly big, releasing a nearly seven-minute version of the spot, with Affleck's thespian sibling, Casey, grimacing through Ben's over-the-top determination to diss their nemeses in java.
The longer cut gives a little more shine to Jeremy Strong, the "Succession" star known for his method acting who this time takes an extended dip in some Dunkin' grounds. And New England legend-turned-North Carolina coach Bill Belichick gets a couple swipes in, accompanied by girlfriend Jordan Hudson.
Feeling old? The spot's outtro features Affleck, 52, swooning over boy band OG Donnie Wahlberg, 55 and nearly four decades removed from New Kids On The Block's highly-produced pablum.
