Marking the start of the 2024 NFL season and launch of Paramount Pictures film Gladiator II, drinks brand Pepsi has unleashed this action-packed, celeb-studded spot, titled Make Your Gameday Epic, created by Paramount Brand Studios and directed by RSA Films’ Jake Scott.
Brought to life by epic VFX and a plethora of celebrity appearances, the frenetic film blends the worlds of pop-culture, music, sports entertainment and Roman history, with a playful nod to the brand’s 2004 commercial Gladiator.
The film sees artist Megan Thee Stallion, as Empress Megan, rapping a revamped version of Queen’s epic track We Will Rock You as she leads a legion of NFL superstars turned Gridiron Gladiators, including Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, Justin Jefferson and Travis Kelce, locked in an epic battle with Pepsi at the heart of the action.
