Travis Kelce and other football stars dressed up as Roman gladiators in Pepsi’s newest campaign, hours before the Kansas City Chiefs kick off the NFL season.

Pepsi shot the commercial to promote the upcoming Gladiator II film starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen raising their swords several decades after the events of the first movie in ancient Rome.

The popular drink decided to parlay the movie’s upcoming premiere with the NFL season, which begins on Thursday night with the Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens

Starring in the commercial with Kelce are Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Ravens running back Derrick Henry, and Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson.

The ad also features rapper Megan Thee Stallion as the empress releasing tigers into the arena with the athletes.

The three-minute commercial begins with two fans sitting at a bar, discussing their fantasy football teams and naming the four aforementioned players in their rosters.

After placing their drinks, the fans start hearing the iconic ‘stomp, stomp, clap’ from Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ before the rim of a Pepsi can morphed into a coliseum.

Kelce, Allen, Henry, and Jefferson emerged out of the tunnel with their breastplates and shields as a crowd erupted. After Kelce yells ‘Are you ready,’ Megan Thee Stallion demands silence and the gates be opened to let the tigers out.

The four then used football-like actions to fend off the big cats while the empress broke into a rap rendition of the Queen classic anthem.
