Bad Bunny Is Voicing a Pizza Triangle in Toy Story 5 - And the Internet Is Losing It
Whether he's breaking streaming records, selling out stadiums, or voicing animated snack foods, Bad Bunny continues to operate on a level entirely his own.
The biggest name in Latin music just landed one of the most unexpectedly fun roles in Hollywood - and it involves sunglasses, melted cheese, and Pixar magic.
Puerto Rican global superstar Bad Bunny has officially joined the cast of Toy Story 5, Pixar's hotly anticipated return to one of cinema's most beloved franchises. The announcement, made this week across Pixar's official social media channels, revealed that the reggaeton icon will voice an entirely new character: an animated pizza triangle wearing dark sunglasses, simply and gloriously named "Pizza with Sunglasses."
Pixar's Instagram post left little room for subtlety, accompanying the reveal clip with the caption: "¡Vamos! Bad Bunny is Pizza with Sunglasses." The internet, predictably, erupted.
From Reggaeton to Pixar - The Hollywood Rise of Bad Bunny
For anyone who has followed Bad Bunny's trajectory over the past few years, the casting is surprising, but not entirely shocking. Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, the artist has spent recent years quietly but deliberately building a Hollywood résumé to match his music empire.
He made his acting debut in the action thriller Bullet Train (2022) alongside Brad Pitt, holding his own in a star-studded ensemble. He then took on a leading role in the Marvel/Sony production El Muerto, a project centered on a Latino superhero, further cementing his crossover ambitions. His cameo appearances and red carpet presence have made him one of the entertainment industry's most watched figures beyond music.
Voicing a character in a Pixar film, however, represents a different kind of cultural milestone, one that places him alongside the likes of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and a generation of actors who have lent their voices to some of animation's most iconic moments.
What We Know About Toy Story 5
Toy Story 5 has been one of Pixar's most closely guarded projects. The fifth installment in the franchise, which has grossed over $3 billion worldwide across its four films, is expected to reunite much of the original voice cast, including Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, in what has been described as a story that picks up with the toys in a new chapter of their lives.
The addition of Bad Bunny's pizza character suggests Pixar is leaning into fresh, pop-culture-savvy energy while keeping the heart of the franchise intact. "Pizza with Sunglasses" may be a supporting character, but with Bad Bunny behind the voice, expect the role to generate an outsized cultural footprint and almost certainly a merchandise line.
Buzz Building Fast
The casting announcement is already generating enormous buzz across both the film and music fan communities, two audiences that don't always overlap, but who share an appreciation for Bad Bunny's particular brand of cool. Spanish-language social media in particular has lit up with excitement, with fans praising Pixar for bringing a major Latin voice into one of Disney's flagship franchises.
Toy Story 5 is scheduled for release in June 2026, meaning the wait to see Bad Bunny's pizza triangle in action is almost over.
