This year’s Pepsi commercial, inspired by the upcoming Gladiator II film, is a three-minute long commercial called “Make Your Gameday Epic” — and it’s set in a Roman Empire stadium where Megan Thee Stallion is watching a Spartan match of the Super Bowl winners from her throne.
In addition to Kelce, NFL players Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, and Justin Jefferson make an appearance, as well as White Lotus actor Jake Lacy and Fargo star Lamorne Morris.
If the theme of the commercial seems familiar to you, that’s because it’s a recreation of the iconic 2004 commercial that starred Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Pink. Both commercials feature the highly recognized Queen song “We Will Rock You.”
The connection was made by many fans immediately and met with mixed reactions. While some viewers applauded the commercial and thought it was a touchdown, others disagreed with the company’s choice of remaking the video.
One commenter under the YouTube video stated “I’m switching to Coca-Cola.”
