Paramount-Pepsi Commercial Spotlights ‘Gladiator II’ With NFL, Megan Thee Stallion
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor PepsiCo and Paramount Global will travel back in time in a big bid to prove the TV commercial still has a future. Starting Thursday, the soda giant will launch a massive video blitz, set in ancient Roman times, that touts not only some of its flagship beverages, but Paramount’s upcoming “Gladiator II”; the new NFL season; and even Megan Thee Stallion, who stars in the spot along with football greats Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, Justin Jefferson and Travis Kelce.
