CelebrityThe world of "Toy Story" is about to get a whole lot cooler. Global music sensation Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known to millions as Bad Bunny, is officially stepping into the animated universe, lending his voice to a new, mysterious character in Disney and Pixar's highly anticipated "Toy Story 5."
Martínez Ocasio will voice Pizza With Sunglasses, an effortlessly cool and enigmatic forgotten toy. This character makes their home in an abandoned backyard shed, a poignant setting shared with other toys left behind by time. The casting announcement, made by Pixar on May 26, 2026, via a social media teaser, marks a significant expansion of the beloved franchise and adds another major milestone to the Puerto Rican superstar's already monumental year.

The film is slated for theatrical release on June 19, 2026. It will see the return of franchise stalwarts, with Tom Hanks reprising his iconic role as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack as Jessie. The narrative for "Toy Story 5" delves into a modern dilemma for playtime: the pervasive influence of smart tablets. The story introduces Lilypad, a new tech tablet voiced by Greta Lee, which captivates Bonnie and increasingly distracts her from her traditional, analog toys.
This role marks Bad Bunny's first major voice acting credit in a blockbuster animated feature, though his affection for the "Toy Story" universe is well-documented. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, he famously created "Toy Story in the Times of Coronavirus" videos. In these homemade productions, Martínez Ocasio enthusiastically voiced characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, and Forky, utilizing his own collection of action figures to bring the stories to life.
Beyond his musical dominance, Martínez Ocasio has been steadily building a noteworthy acting career. In 2022, he appeared as Wolf in David Leitch's action-comedy "Bullet Train," sharing the screen with Brad Pitt. More recently, in 2025, he took on the role of Colorado in the crime thriller "Caught Stealing," starring alongside Austin Butler, Regina King, and Zoë Kravitz. These roles have showcased his versatility and growing presence in Hollywood.

His acting ventures complement an unparalleled streak of musical achievements. Bad Bunny headlined the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, a testament to his global appeal. He also made history by becoming the first artist with a primarily Spanish-language album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," to win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Furthermore, he cemented his status as a global phenomenon by becoming Spotify's most-streamed artist worldwide.
The new film also brings other compelling additions to the cast. Scottish actor Alan Cumming joins as "Evil Bullseye," an imaginative playtime alter ego of Woody's loyal horse. Cumming expressed his excitement, calling it an "incredible honour" to enter the "Toy Story" universe and stating he was "so happy and proud and in disbelief." He acknowledged the significance of giving Bullseye a voice for the first time, noting, "So we went around the houses a bit before we settled on the one we're using. But the circumstances of him talking — once you see the film — will make you understand why we had quite a broad church to choose from." Cumming clarified his role as a "cameo," advising fans "don't expect too much," while still emphasizing the exciting nature of the character finally speaking. Evil Bullseye emerges during an imaginative playtime sequence initiated by Blaze Manoukian, an 8-year-old girl who loves animals, voiced by Mykal-Michelle Harris. Other new cast members include Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants, a potty-training toy, and Craig Robinson as Atlas, a cheerful talking GPS hippo toy.
Co-director Kenna Harris provided insight into the character of Lilypad, emphasizing the nuanced portrayal of the smart tablet. Harris stated, "Lots of people at the studio wanted her to be a villain, and it was so hard to strike the balance because I think we all come in with such loaded emotions towards devices. At the end of the day, it never made sense. We're not getting rid of these devices, no matter how hard we try. I'm always going to have my phone. I'm probably going to be partially addicted to it. So it felt right for the toys to have to grapple with that nuance." Pixar's Pete Docter further described Lilypad as "a new tech tablet that allows Bonnie to chat with her friends and play games and other things, too. But Lily can also be a bit sneaky and prickly to be around, because in her mind, it's a lot better to be socialized, and Bonnie needs to move on from toys."
Bad Bunny's inclusion in "Toy Story 5" underscores his remarkable ability to transcend cultural and artistic boundaries. This role not only broadens his acting portfolio but also introduces his unique persona to an entirely new generation of fans through a beloved, family-friendly franchise. It further solidifies his status as a multifaceted entertainer who continues to surprise and engage audiences across music, film, and now, animation.
As "Toy Story 5" prepares to hit theaters, the film is poised to explore contemporary themes of technology's impact on childhood and play, all while welcoming a new, effortlessly cool toy into its storied universe. Bad Bunny's involvement ensures that this next chapter will resonate with an even wider and more diverse audience, marking another significant moment in his meteoric career.
