Fans Are Racing to Try Pepsi's 'Fun' and 'Creative' New Offerings—Here's Where to Find Them
Fans Are Racing to Try Pepsi's 'Fun' and 'Creative' New Offerings—Here's Where to Find Them originally appeared on Parade. The 2025 cinema run should go down in the history books as one of the greatest of all time. We've seen such standouts as Sinners and Tyler Perry's Straw, and even got another installment in the Jurassic Park universe. Superman has officially returned, and we can't wait to see Pedro Pascal star in the new Fantastic 4: First Steps film. While streaming is still most people's preferred method of viewing, the movie theaters are back in a big way, and legacy institutions are finding exciting new ways to reimagine the film-going experience. 😋😋🍳🍔 From buzzy (and slightly suggestive) popcorn buckets to movies shot in multiple formats at once, we're truly witnessing a golden age in motion picture history. Sure, not every movie is a hit, but it's the total experience that matters. You might not need a while you're watching Scarlett Johansson kill it on screen, but it doesn't hurt either. Besides, we're already sneaking full pizzas into the theater anyway, so why not indulge a bit on your in-movie meal?Even if you are the type to sneak in snacks in your boots or stash popcorn in your purse, it's hard to stop by the snack counter just to window shop. Of course, once you're there, you might as well go ahead and make it a large. As if we needed even more temptation, Regal and Pepsi just teamed up with a refreshing-looking drink menu that's got fans buying movie tickets in droves. According to @markie_devo, the iconic brands teamed up to launch new Pepsi Drips, a lineup of three new beverage concoctions exclusive to Regal Cinemas. You can choose between Tropicana Cotton Candy Lemonade, which features Tropicana Lemonade, candy boba, and floating cotton candy; Pepsi Cherry Boba burst, a blend of Pepsi Zero Sugar over cherry boba, finished with sweet cream cold foam and mini marshmallows; or the Starry Dragonfruit Blast, which mixes Starry and watermelon with a dragonfruit garnish. Just go ahead and take my money. As delicious as they sound, though, the only catch is you'll only find them at Regal Pinnacle and Regal Times Square for now. Unsurprisingly, movie fans took to the comments to express their excitement, with most saying, 'Ooo, these look fun.' We think so too! Here's hoping we get a wider rollout Are Racing to Try Pepsi's 'Fun' and 'Creative' New Offerings—Here's Where to Find Them first appeared on Parade on Jul 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

'Superman' director reveals reboot will tackle politics and kindness, tells 'jerks' to 'screw' off
Director James Gunn revealed that the upcoming "Superman" movie will be "about politics," saying that the iconic superhero is "an immigrant that came from other places." "Superman is the story of America," Gunn told The Sunday Times in a recent interview. "An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost." The character, first introduced in 1938, was born from the imagination of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in Cleveland, Ohio. In the comics, Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton, sent to Earth by his parents as their world faced destruction. Five For Fighting Reimagines 'Superman' In Powerful Tribute To Israeli Hostages The film, set to hit theaters on July 11, will serve as a reboot of the 2013 film Man of Steel and is intended to launch a new cinematic universe for the DC franchise. Actor David Corenswet stars as the new Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan playing Lois Lane. When asked whether he considered how the movie's political themes might resonate differently across the country — from "blue state" New York, aka Metropolis, to Superman's rural roots in Kansas — Gunn acknowledged the contrast. Read On The Fox News App "Yes, it plays differently," he said. "It's about human kindness. And obviously, there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them." Actor Knocks 'Fantastic 4' Hero As 'Womanizing' Guy, Says His Portrayal In New Film Will Be Different While Gunn emphasized the film's political and moral undertones, he also noted its sense of fun and fantasy — mentioning a flying dog in a cape as part of the film's lighter elements. "Yes, it's about politics," he said. "But on another level, it's about morality. Do you never kill no matter what — which is what Superman believes — or do you have some balance, as Lois believes? It's really about their relationship and how differing moral perspectives can pull two people apart."

Actor knocks 'Fantastic 4' hero as 'womanizing' guy, says his portrayal in new film will be different
Film actor Joseph Quinn claims in a new interview that his portrayal of The Human Torch in Marvel's reboot of the "Fantastic Four" franchise will be a departure from the past. Marvel Studios is working on a reboot of one of the oldest teams of superheroes in the genre. The new version of the series, with an entirely new cast, will be set in a retro-futuristic, alternative-history version of the 1960s. Entertainment Weekly writer Christian Holub, who got a behind-the-scenes look at the film in production, noted "these classic characters are headed back to the big screen to see if they can inspire the same kind of wonder they did when they debuted in the '60s — and in the process, save not just their fictional world but also the struggling Marvel Cinematic Universe." Chris Hemsworth Detests When Other Marvel Actors 'Bash' Superhero Franchise After A Flop One of the actors, Joseph Quinn, who will be playing Johnny Storm, a.k.a. Human Torch, spoke with the magazine about how he hopes to put a new spin on the character. "Johnny is Marvel's archetype of a 'hothead' teenager, but what exactly that means has been open to interpretation over the years," Holub observed. "In the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies, for instance, Chris Evans played the character as a skirt-chasing scallywag. Quinn wanted to do something different." Read On The Fox News App "He's a man that leads with a lot of bravado, which can be an affront sometimes. But also he's funny," Quinn told the magazine. "Myself and [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin [Feige] were speaking about previous iterations of him and where we are culturally. He was branded as this womanizing, devil-may-care guy, but is that sexy these days? I don't think so. This version of Johnny is less callous with other people's feelings, and hopefully there's a self-awareness about what's driving that attention-seeking behavior." Holub also wrote about how Sue Storm, better known as the "Invisible Woman" and portrayed by Vanessa Kirby, will have a political aspect to her character.

As head of the Future Foundation (a concept taken from writer Jonathan Hickman's 21st-century Fantastic Four comics, one of the successor stories that is as beloved by fans as Lee and Kirby's originals), she has helped achieve global demilitarization and peace," Holub wrote. "When Shakman and his collaborators say the dreams of the '60s have been made real in this movie, they don't just mean rocketships."Original article source: Actor knocks 'Fantastic 4' hero as 'womanizing' guy, says his portrayal in new film will be different

Pedro Pascal jokes his insanely strong coffee order being revealed to the internet was ‘violating'
Pedro Pascal would like a little bit of privacy when it comes to his coffee order. Photos of the 'Last of Us' star holding a cup of coffee, which revealed his highly-caffeinated order of six espresso shots on the side of the cup, went viral last year, and Pascal is less than pleased to have had his 'incredibly private' morning sip exposed. 'I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was,' he said, laughing, on last night's episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after host Kimmel prodded Pascal about why he needs six espresso shots to get his day started. Pascal went on to provide 'so much context' as to how his coffee order evolved, saying, 'It was always a quad, but then I feel like the cups got bigger and, I don't know, the shots got less strong and at some point it became six (shots).' 'It was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about,' he said. 'I don't have more coffee for the rest of the day, I swear!' 'You have it all in one, big gulp,' Kimmel replied, going on to call Pascal's coffee a 'methaccino.' The mega-shot of caffeine does, however, help with productivity, according to Pascal, who said that 'you sip it, you get really high, and you answer emails and stuff.' Maybe Pascal does need all that juice these days, as the actor has been plenty busy. He is set to return in HBO's Emmy-winning video game-inspired zombie drama 'The Last of Us,' which will debut its second season on April 13. (HBO, like CNN, is a property of Warner Bros. Discovery.) Pascal is also tapped to play Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming 'Fantastic 4' reboot, as well as 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' With all that work, who would be surprised if Pascal's espresso count shot up to eight?
