EPASinger, rapper and actor Bad Bunny is getting a slice of the action in the new Toy Story film, making a cameo as the voice of a forgotten toy known as Pizza With Sunglasses.
Disney said the Puerto Rican star will be heard in Toy Story 5 as the “effortlessly cool and mysterious” character who is “a member of a small but mighty community of forgotten toys that live in an abandoned backyard shed”.
He will be joined in the forthcoming film by another new cast member, Scottish actor Alan Cumming, Disney announced.
The host of the US edition of The Traitors will voice an evil version of the horse Bullseye, Woody’s trusty steed.
Cumming and Bad Bunny – whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – join a star-studded cast including the returning Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack.
The fifth edition of the hit animated movie franchise will be released on 19 June. The final trailer was released on Tuesday.
Toy Story, which first launched in 1995, is set in a world where toys come to life when humans are not present.
Film five finds the famous toys, led by Buzz Lightyear and a now balding Woody, banding together in a bid to save their owner Bonnie from a most modern threat – her smart tablet Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee.

Bad Bunny’s addition to the team caps a huge year so far for the man behind the glasses – dubbed the King of Latin Trap.
The influential musician headlined the 2026 Super Bowl half-time show and made history by having the first primarily Spanish language LP to win album of the year at the Grammy Awards.
The record in question, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should’ve Taken More Photos), helped him to become Spotify’s most played artist globally.
He has also made a number of forays into film. He appeared last year as cold-blooded gangster Colorado in crime thriller Caught Stealing alongside Austin Butler, Regina King and Zoë Kravitz; and as Happy Gilmour’s eccentric golf caddie Oscar in Adam Sandler’s comedy sequel.
Before that, he featured as Wolf in director David Leitch’s 2022 action-comedy film Bullet Train, starring Brad Pitt.
And it was announced earlier this year that Bad Bunny is to take on his first lead acting role in Porto Rico, opposite Javier Bardem and Edward Norton.
The film, described as a love letter to the 32-year-old’s home of Puerto Rico, is partly based on the life of José Maldonado Román – a late 19th and early 20th Century revolutionary known as White Eagle.
A busy Bunny is also reportedly considering a return to the WWE wrestling ring.
