MANILA, Philippines — Only after over a month since launching the world's biggest boy group BTS as endorser, Smart Communications Inc. teased another new big-time brand ambassador, making it stake its claim as the first Filipino telecommunications firm to enlist a "Hollywood A-list superstar."

In their social media account last Tuesday, the telco posted a video teaser of a man on the cliff of a mountain watching the sea. The following day, a man in an all-black, leather ensemble with a helmet is seen driving a fancy motorbike along a coastal road. It ends with him stopping in what looks like a high-tech secret office while the teaser is scored with the familiar tunes of a superhero flick.

 

 

“If the world gave us a second chance, what should we do? Should we do good? Or should we do BETTER?” Smart wrote in the caption of the video.

Insider sources told Philstar.com that the deal with the "Hollywood A-list superstar," who remains a mystery, was finalized last December and the new endorser's ad campaign was shot in East Coast USA with a Hollywood crew.

Social media users commented their guesses on who could this new endorser might be.

“CAPTAIN AMERICA!" Twitter user @aimpng commented.

“Nice! Excited to see who this is,” Facebook user James Jorge said.
