“Marvel Studios’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ and General Mills have a lot in common, from our passionate fans to our iconic characters – some could say this collaboration was written in the stars,” says Adriana Hernández-Fernández, associate manager, morning foods cultural portfolio events, General Mills. “We are thrilled to announce a collection made specifically for our superfans to celebrate the new film.”
