Little Caesars' new 'webbed pizza' comes with something special for Spider-Man fans.

Little Caesars' new 'webbed pizza' comes with something special for Spider-Man fans. The new item arrives in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' packaging and includes limited-edition collectible movie posters exclusive to Little Caesars. Jun 22, 2026 8:01 AM EDT Little Caesars is partnering with Sony Pictures to bring your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to life with a cheesy new menu item and an immersive pop-up experience in New York City - more specifically, Peter Parker's hometown of Queens. How to Make a 5-hour Energy Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail Watch More ADVERTISING While the partnership may sound totally unexpected, Greg Hamilton, the chief marketing officer at Little Caesars, suggested it makes perfect sense: pizza is famously one of the superhero's go-to meals, and the company is setting out to "connect with consumers in cultural moments and areas where they are passionate." With Spider-Man: Brand New Day due out in theaters later this summer, the collab is "creating a unique pizza occasion the entire family can enjoy," as Hamilton so eloquently put it in a statement. Little Caesars' new spider-man-inspired "Webberoni Pizza" to launch alongside collectible posters this month. The Webberoni Pizza starts with Little Caesars' classic pie and sprinkles a "web" of shredded pepperoni and toasted cheeses on top. The Hot & Ready recipe isn't only aesthetically pleasing, it serves a purpose, according to the company, which suggests that the combination of shredded pepperoni and its toasted two-cheese blend offers the best of both worlds in every bite. Should fans prefer other toppings or want to customize their pizza, they can create their own "webbed pizza" with shredded pepperoni and toasted cheeses on any Little Caesars pizza when ordering online. And if you think the pizza with spidey senses would be where this collaboration ends, you'd be wrong. Little Caesars is launching new themed packaging and a series of limited-edition collectible posters (which will become available beginning on Monday, July 6), but only as part of a Webberoni Pizza purchase. A replica of Peter Parker's apartment is also popping up in New York City, all thanks to the chain. To celebrate the launch of the new Webberoni Pizza, Little Caesars is bringing Peter Parker's apartment to life for one day this month. "Spider-Man is known for its explosive action, humor and fun, and collaborating with Little Caesars, a brand recognized for its bold voice and playful spirit, on Spider-Man: Brand New Day was a natural fit," Jeffrey Godsick, executive vice president of brand strategy and partnerships at Sony Pictures Entertainment, added, noting that the pizza chain's "passion for creative, engaging content" is what brought the Webberoni Pizza and a replica of Peter Parker's apartment "to life." At the pop-up, visitors are invited to explore and interact with the set, take photos, hunt for easter eggs from the new film, and of course, grab a slice of the new Webberoni Pizza! Those interested in checking it out must head to the Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse on West Street in Brooklyn on Saturday, June 27, between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. local time. The Webberoni Pizza is available at participating Little Caesars locations beginning today, June 22 ($8.99; prices may vary). Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases in theaters nationwide on Friday, July 31. Marisa Losciale is a news writer and editor who craves staying up-to-date on the latest food, beverage and viral trends.

Sony Pictures developing Josie and the Pussycats reboot.

Sony Pictures developing Josie and the Pussycats reboot. June 17, 2026 A new take on Josie and the Pussycats is officially in development at Sony Pictures. The project aims to revisit the property, which originated as an Archie Comics series and a Hanna-Barbera cartoon before its 2001 live-action musical comedy adaptation. According to a report from The InSneider, producer Marc Platt is attached to the project. Platt was also involved in the production of the 2001 film, which has gained a significant cult following in the years since its initial theatrical release. The deal to secure the rights was finalized following Platt's involvement, working alongside Archie Comics head Jon Goldwater. The 2001 version of Josie and the Pussycats followed a girl band that finds themselves at the center of a conspiracy involving subliminal messages hidden in pop music. While the original film struggled at the box office, its legacy has grown through home media and dedicated fan communities, including the Josie and the Podcats podcast. What to expect from the reboot. Details regarding the direction of this new project remain scarce. It is currently unknown if the studio intends to maintain the continuity of the 2001 film or if this will be a complete reimagining of the source material. Given the property's history across comics and animation, there is plenty of room for a fresh creative approach. The development of this reboot marks a return to a title that has remained a point of interest for fans of early 2000s cult cinema. As Sony moves forward with the project, audiences will be watching to see how the studio updates the band's journey for a modern era.

24 Jump Street officially in the works as Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum eye return.

24 Jump Street officially in the works as Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum eye return. Published June 11, 2026 by Ned Tepper More than a decade after 22 Jump Street hit cinemas, it looks like Schmidt and Jenko could finally be making their long awaited return. Sony Pictures is reportedly moving forward with 24 Jump Street, with Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube all currently in talks to reprise their fan favourite roles from the blockbuster comedy franchise. While plot details remain firmly under wraps, the project marks the first significant movement on a new Jump Street film in years after multiple sequel ideas stalled in development (per Hollywood Reporter). This time around, Rodney Rothman is set to direct from a screenplay he co-wrote alongside Hill and Meghan Malloy, Rothman previously worked on 22 Jump Street and is no stranger to successful comedy projects, having also co-written Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Original franchise architects Phil Lord and Chris Miller won't be returning to the director's chair but will remain heavily involved behind the scenes as producers, longtime franchise producer Neal H. Moritz is also attached. Years of speculation. The announcement comes after years of speculation surrounding a third film, at various points, plans reportedly included a crossover between the Jump Street and Men In Black franchises, though that concept was eventually abandoned. People have been asking for another sequel ever since 22 Jump Street became an even bigger hit than its predecessor, the original 2012 film earned more than $200 million worldwide, while the sequel pulled in an impressive $331 million globally. 22 Jump Street trailer. The films, based on the classic television series that launched Johnny Depp's career in the late 1980s, surprised audiences by transforming what could have been a standard reboot into one of the most successful comedy franchises of the decade. Interest in a third instalment has never really disappeared either, in 2024 Tatum revealed a script for another sequel had already been written and admitted he was eager to revisit the characters. With 24 Jump Street officially in development and the original stars potentially returning, fans may finally get the follow up they've been waiting more than 12 years to see. As for why Sony skipped straight past 23 Jump Street? For now, that's one mystery the studio isn't explaining. Follow me on Facebook: * Streaming Video * Youtube Videos * Download audio from youtube

The 30-second commercial drops Trejo into Baja Beach, a fictional tropical paradise where Baja Blast bottles grow from palm trees, as he uses a machete to slice open the citrus-flavored CSD. Directed by filmmaker Dan Opsal and set to a remix of the 90s hit "No More I Love You's," the campaign leans into the over-the-top humor the Baja Blast brand has become notorious for. "With 'Have a Baja Blast,' we wanted to create something that feels as fun and refreshing as the drink itself," said Michael Smith, VP of marketing for Mountain Dew at PepsiCo Beverages U.S., in a press release. "Bringing Danny Trejo and his machete into this wildly imaginative Baja Beach world allowed us to lean into the kind of unforgettable storytelling that keeps fans coming back for more." Now airing across television, streaming and social media channels, "Have a Baja Blast" builds on a "breakthrough year" for the brand. In March, Baja Blast was named the official soft drink of the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) season.

We tested so many different versions to make sure the flavor felt authentic to my tastes and something I'd genuinely want to drink every day," said Trump in a statement. The launch expands Accelerator's roster of athlete-backed products, following the success of Livvy Dunne's Cotton Candy flavor, which became the brand's top-selling SKU across retail and ecommerce.
