McDonald’s $16 Million Splash on Angel Reese Gets WNBA Community’s Verdict

When Angel Reese says, “Made mine a double QPC, but a double-double queen,” you know she’s not just talking about burgers—she’s serving confidence on and off the court. Last month, the Chi-Town Barbie became the first-ever female athlete to team up with McDonald’s for a meal and today, she’s proving her energy remains unmatched as the brand takes it to Super Bowl. Let us tell you, it is far from ordinary. 

New McD commercial has hit the streets and we might have gotten a glimpse of W on the other side. Lisa Leslie, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and even Latto joined in for the one-minute ad, battling to get their hands on the Reese special. “That moment when u trying to score but @latto’s on the hooplol. Get ur hands on the @Reese10Angel special fr,” Stewie wrote, sharing the commercial.

The ad, featuring Angel and her crew, was pure fire—full of swagger, laughs, and that signature Reese charm. From calling out the “Injury Special” to declaring, “When I take the bag, you know that meal is already mine,” Angel owned every second.

And speaking of star power, the stage for this commercial couldn’t be bigger. Over 120 million fans are set to tune in for the Super Bowl. 50 brands have already locked down the priciest ad slots on TV. Last year, a 30-second spot hit $7 million, per Forbes. For LIX, that has risen to $8 million, costing McDonald’s some $16 million for the 1-minute commercial.
