In an exciting twist for fans of the beloved Toy Story franchise, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is set to join the cast of Toy Story 5, lending his voice to a character whimsically known as Pizza With Sunglasses. This cameo marks a significant expansion of the artist's flourishing career, adding to his impressive repertoire as a singer, rapper, and now, voice actor.
Disney has described Bad Bunny’s character as "effortlessly cool and mysterious," part of a tiny yet resilient community of neglected toys residing in an abandoned backyard shed. His presence will provide a unique flair to this latest installment, which is already generating buzz within the animation world.

The film, which is slated for release on June 19, 2026, is also welcoming Scottish actor Alan Cumming to the ensemble. Cumming is set to voice a villainous rendition of Bullseye, Woody's trusty steed, adding a fresh dynamic to the story.
The Legacy of Toy Story
Since its inception in 1995, Toy Story has captivated audiences with its imaginative narrative where toys come to life when their human owners are absent. In this fifth chapter, the iconic characters – led by Buzz Lightyear and the now balding Woody – band together on a mission to save their owner, Bonnie, from a modern-day menace: her smart tablet, Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee.
Bad Bunny's Stellar Year
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has enjoyed a monumental year, consolidating his status as the King of Latin Trap. He headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026 and achieved a historic milestone with his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which became the first predominantly Spanish-language LP to win Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. This accomplishment propelled him to the pinnacle of Spotify's global charts as the most streamed artist.
His ventures into film are equally impressive; he made his acting debut last year in the crime thriller Caught Stealing, sharing the screen with notable stars like Austin Butler and Regina King, and showcased his comedic talent in Happy Gilmour's follow-up. Bad Bunny is poised to take the limelight in his first leading role in the upcoming film Porto Rico, a project that pays tribute to his homeland and features icons Javier Bardem and Edward Norton.
Looking Ahead
As his multifaceted career continues to evolve, Bad Bunny is reportedly contemplating a return to the wrestling ring, further reflecting his dynamic presence in both music and entertainment. As enthusiasm builds for Toy Story 5, fans of the franchise and Bad Bunny alike will undoubtedly be eager to see how this collaboration unfolds on the big screen.
