Bad Bunny Joins Toy Story 5: Which Toy Will He Voice?
via News.com.au
According to News.com.au, reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny has officially joined the cast of Toy Story 5, though the role he'll be voicing remains under wraps for now.
Why This Has the Fan-Casting World Buzzing
Pixar has a long history of threading celebrity voices into the Toy Story universe — from Tim Allen and Tom Hanks to Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom — so Bad Bunny's arrival isn't surprising so much as it is intriguing. What is surprising is how little we know. No character name, no description, no hint. That vacuum of information is basically an engraved invitation for fans to start speculating wildly, and honestly? That's half the fun.
The bigger question this raises is what kind of toy Bad Bunny might be voicing. A new action figure with Latin flair? A musical instrument come to life? A plush with attitude? The possibilities are genuinely wide open, and with Toy Story 5 expected to push the franchise into new territory, a high-profile musician in an unknown role feels like a deliberate creative swing.
What myCast Fans Are Already Dreaming Up
The myCast community has been building out Toy Story 5 dream casts for a while now, and the results are a fascinating window into what fans want from this sequel. Across multiple active stories — including this 39-role Toy Story 5 cast and a 16-role version — fans have been pitching everyone from comedy heavyweights to unexpected wildcards.
Over on the 39-role story, John Goodman and Blake Clark are tied at the top with 2 votes each for Lots-o' Huggin' Bear and Slinky Dog respectively — both feel-good picks that lean into vocal warmth and charm. Jeff Bergman is also pulling 2 votes for Mr. Potato Head, a nod to fans who want the classic characters handled by seasoned voice actors. Meanwhile, the 16-role story has Will Ferrell leading with 2 votes for a character called Lillypad — a new addition that fans are clearly already having fun with.
As for Bad Bunny himself, myCast users have suggested him for 250 roles across the platform, so his fan-casting profile is well established. His most popular credit on the site is El Muerto with 11 votes — a superhero role he was actually attached to in real life — which tells you fans see him as someone with genuine screen presence, not just a musician doing a cameo favor.
The A-List Musician-to-Voice-Actor Pipeline
There's a real trend worth acknowledging here. Musicians crossing into voice acting — think Lizzo in Rumble, Rihanna in Home, or even Phil Collins providing the Tarzan soundtrack and becoming synonymous with the film — has become a reliable Hollywood play. When it works, it works beautifully; the artist brings a distinct energy that pure voice actors sometimes can't replicate. Bad Bunny already proved in live-action with Bullet Train and his upcoming Marvel work that he's not just a novelty casting choice. He commits.
The wild card is whether Pixar is building a character around his persona — something bilingual, musically inclined, or just dripping with cool — or casting him against type entirely. Either approach could be fantastic. Given that the Toy Story franchise has always rewarded unexpected pairings, betting against Bad Bunny landing a memorable character feels like the wrong move.
