Star Wars Blue Milk Returns This Summer With a ‘Fantastic’ Marvel Crossover

For summer 2025, the popular Star Wars Blue Milk returns to stores with a significant twist. Manufacturer TruMoo is partnering with both Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios for a promotional campaign tied to the upcoming "The Fantastic Four" film.

The iconic Star Wars Blue Milk is set to return to store shelves across the United States this summer, but this time with a promotional twist of heroic proportions. Dairy producer TruMoo, in an expanded partnership with The Walt Disney Company, announced Tuesday that the limited-edition beverage will feature a tie-in with Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated film, “The Fantastic Four,” marking a significant cross-franchise marketing initiative between two of Disney’s largest properties, Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios.

The summer 2025 release will see TruMoo’s blue-colored, vanilla-flavored milk return in packaging that blends the worlds of Star Wars and Marvel. According to a press release, the campaign, titled “A Fantastic Rebellion,” will feature collectible half-gallon and gallon bottles showcasing iconic Star Wars characters alongside members of the Fantastic Four.

“We are thrilled to bring back the fan-favorite Star Wars Blue Milk with a new dimension of excitement,” said Rachel Kylian, a senior brand manager for TruMoo, in a statement. “By uniting the epic storytelling of Lucasfilm with the adventurous spirit of Marvel, we’re offering a product that’s not just a beverage but a piece of pop culture history.”

The collaboration represents one of the most direct co-branding efforts between the two powerhouse franchises since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. While both have been staples at Disney theme parks, this nationwide retail campaign signals a deeper integration of the company’s intellectual property strategy.

The ‘Fantastic’ Twist: A New Era of Cross-Franchise Marketing?

“Disney is creating a unified ecosystem of brands where a purchase in the dairy aisle can lead to engagement with a summer blockbuster,” said Dr. Arthur Pendelton, a professor of media studies at New York University who was not involved in the campaign. “It’s a powerful way to leverage the dedicated fan bases of both Star Wars and Marvel. This is less about selling milk and more about reinforcing the Disney-owned universe as a dominant cultural force.”

The move could set a precedent for future promotions, potentially paving the way for crossovers involving other major Disney properties like Pixar or Avatar.

Building on a Legacy: The History of Star Wars Blue Milk

Blue Milk, or Bantha Milk, was first seen in the original 1977 film, Star Wars: A New Hope, on the breakfast table of a young Luke Skywalker. The curiously colored drink instantly became a unique and memorable piece of the Star Wars galaxy.

For decades, the beverage remained purely fictional. However, its status changed with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, where the park’s “Milk Stand” sells both Blue and Green Milk as frozen, plant-based smoothies. The immense popularity of these park-exclusive drinks led Lucasfilm to partner with Dean Foods for a retail version.

TruMoo, a brand of Dean Foods, first released a version of Blue Milk in 2019 to coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and has launched similar successful, limited-time campaigns in subsequent years. This 2025 edition, however, is the first to officially incorporate another major film franchise into its branding.

The continued retail presence of Star Wars Blue Milk demonstrates the enduring appeal of the franchise’s universe, allowing fans to connect with the saga in a tangible, everyday way. This summer’s addition of a Marvel-themed layer seeks to expand that connection even further.
