LITTLE CAESARS® TEAMS UP WITH MARVEL STUDIOS' "THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS" Français
Chain launches deliciously unique Fantastic Four-N-One pizza ahead of the film's release
OAKVILLE, ON, June 16, 2025 /CNW/ -- Little Caesars is bringing fantastic variety to the table this summer with the launch of the Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza, a heroic new creation inspired by Marvel Studios' "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", in theatres July 25.
Inspired by Marvel's iconic first family, the Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza delivers four bold flavour combinations in one medium pie—perfect for families, friend groups, and anyone looking to enjoy a little bit of everything. Starting as early as June 16, guests can enjoy two slices each of:
Classic Cheese
Pepperoni
Italian Sausage & Bacon
Pepperoni & Jalapeño
All for just $9.99.
In addition to the limited-time Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza, Marvel joined forces with Little Caesars to design its first-ever exclusive pizza boxes for the campaign. When all four collectible boxes are put together, they reveal a hidden image connecting all four characters.
"This is a big moment for our brand," said Greg Hamilton, Chief Marketing Officer at Little Caesars. "We're thrilled to work with Marvel Studios to bring the excitement of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' into our stores and into homes across the country. It's a delicious, craveable, and family friendly way to celebrate the heroes that bring us together."
Additionally, Little Caesars will debut a new commercial honouring the team's first public outing, featuring Giganto, the iconic monster fans may recall from the cover of Fantastic Four (1961) issue #1. The spot was written and produced by Marvel Studios' Marketing Partnerships team and directed by Kasra Farahani, Production Designer on "The Fantastic Four: First Steps".
"We had a blast joining forces with Little Caesars to serve up exciting and flavourful ways to celebrate Fantastic Four: First Steps," said Holly Frank, Walt Disney Studios VP, Partnership Management and Operations, Marvel." From the limited time offer 'Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza' to the custom commercial written and produced by our internal team, this collaboration really brings the action-packed fun of Marvel's 'First Family' to the table".
The film, set in a 1960s-inspired New York, features an all-star cast including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Marvel's First Family. In "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", the team faces their most cosmic challenge yet when Galactus and the Silver Surfer threaten Earth's very existence. In a fun nod to the collaboration, fans might even catch Little Caesars featured in a couple of scenes in the film itself.
The Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza is available ONLINE at participating Little Caesars locations starting June 16 for a soft launch, with a national media push beginning June 23. Guests can request their pizza with or without jalapeños, ensuring everyone has a fantastic slice waiting.

Professional audio lessons
There's a building in Winnipeg's St. Boniface neighbourhood that celebrities such as Hilary Swank, Liam Neeson and Mark Hamill have all visited for work. But if you're not looking for it carefully, there's a good chance you'll miss it. Located on Marion Street between a dental office and strip mall — and mostly hidden from view by a massive spruce tree — is Precursor Productions. Friends Andrew Yankiwski and Chris Wiebe started the recording studio as a dedicated space to work on their own music projects. Since then, it's become a hub for audio post-production (the phase that occurs after the initial capturing of sound) for film and TV projects. The business has worked with many of the world's biggest entertainment brands, including Marvel Studios, HBO and World Wrestling Entertainment. 'It still is a bit of a stretch for most people here (in Winnipeg), I think, understanding this as a legitimate profession or a realistic one or a pragmatic one,' says Yankiwski, 54. 'And I was definitely amongst the skeptical people back in the day.' When Yankiwski and Wiebe started taking clients, the mostly self-taught recording engineers were producing, mixing and mastering music. Today, music accounts for about 10 per cent of the company's business. Training aspiring recording engineers accounts for another 10 per cent, recording audio for corporate projects (like voiceovers for training videos) accounts for 15 to 20 per cent and the rest of Precursor's work is in film and TV. Yankiwski is currently doing audio post-production on a docuseries about Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime. That means editing dialogue and music, adding sound effects and mixing everything together into the final product people will eventually hear when they watch the series. If you're watching a movie or TV show and you recognize something's wrong with it, but you can't quite put your finger on what the problem is, it's often in the post-production elements, says Adam Smoluk, executive director of Film Training Manitoba. Great post-production, whether it's the sound or picture, is supposed to be seamless. 'The sound editing aspect of film is an absolutely critical element (for) the viewer or the audience taking in a project,' Smoluk says. 'The fact that Andrew is such an experienced person and has so many clients that are high-end clientele says a lot about him and Precursor as a company.' Yankiwski was a University of Manitoba student when got into audio production in the early 1990s. The drummer in his grindcore band moved out of province, so Yankiwski learned to program a drum machine prior to recording an EP in a local studio. Around that time, Yankiwski met Wiebe. The two struck up a friendship, bonding over their interests in bodybuilding and music. Wiebe received a $10,000 inheritance and spent it all on recording gear. The duo set up a makeshift studio in Wiebe's childhood home in the Winkler-Morden area. During the week, Yankiwski pursued a law degree at the U of M. On weekends, he and Wiebe headed for the Pembina Valley to record the industrial metal music they were writing. Yankiwski recalls playing some of their recordings for a fellow student in between classes and the student asking him if he'd ever want to own a recording studio some day. 'I said, 'You know, I would, but I have to be honest — I have no idea how you'd make money with that,'' Yankiwski recalls. 'And if I'm honest with myself, I still don't really know how I'd make money with it. But it seems to happen every month.' By 1996, Yankiwski and Wiebe were releasing music independently and performing at raves, warehouse parties and club nights as the techno/house duo FLFK. Wiebe had finished law school and was called to the Manitoba bar, but lost interest in working as a lawyer. In 1999, he and Wiebe decided to create a space in Winnipeg — just for one year — where they could work on music. They had dreams of finding a hip loft in the Exchange District, but when Wiebe stumbled upon a building at 218 Marion St. he thought could be suitable, they rented it instead. After converting the former hair salon into a recording studio, the friends soon realized the project might be worth pursuing beyond the one year they had given themselves. They opened Precursor to the public in September 2000. Almost from the start, the duo were offering training courses to aspiring recording engineers. Although they were largely self-taught, they wanted to offer people the kind of hands-on training they wished they'd had access to. In 2005, Wiebe decided to leave the business to live abroad. Yankiwski kept grinding, teaching LSAT prep classes on the side. 'It took until about 2009, I'm sad to say, until we were really profitable in any meaningful sense,' he says. In 2012, he bought the property. In 2016, he completed an addition to the back of the building that includes a loft — finally giving him his dream space. Yankiwski employs five assistants. They do the majority of their work remotely on laptops, but Yankiwski will typically ask one to come to the studio when he's recording a celebrity to ensure everything runs smoothly. Two-time Academy Award-winning actor Swank recorded the narration for the 2022 documentary Becoming Annika at the Winnipeg studio. Neeson (Schindler's List, Taken) visited to re-record dialogue for his 2021 thriller The Marksman. Hamill (Star Wars) dubbed parts for his role as Mervyn Pumpkinhead in the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comic book series. Natalia Dyer re-recorded dialogue for a couple episodes of the fourth season of the hit series Stranger Things, and the wrestling tag team known as the Bella Twins stopped by to record speaking parts for a WWE app. When he isn't working, Yankiwski shares his expertise as a board member at both New Media Manitoba and Film Training Manitoba. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. 'He's been a massive community-builder … He wants to see the industry flourish and grow and all his actions support that notion,' says Louie Ghiz, executive director of New Media Manitoba. 'He's someone that we're definitely very lucky to have in Manitoba.' Yankiwski says he never bought into the idea he had to leave Winnipeg to find success. 'I was determined to prove that we could punch above our weight — that we could be as good as any jurisdiction.' Precursor Productions will mark its 25th anniversary in a few months, and Yankiwski is looking forward to celebrating. 'It feels validating,' he says when considering the quarter-century milestone. 'It feels validating to know that we could make a go of it.' Aaron EppReporter Aaron Epp reports on business for the Free Press.

State of the Game: ‘Marvel: Crisis Protocol'
I've made no bones about the fact that I'm a big Marvel fan. From growing up with Marvel Comics in the 80's, to enjoying the X-Men Animated series in the 90's, to the MCU, you can always 'Make Mine Marvel.' So it's no surprise that one of my earliest reviews at GeekDad was my review of the then-new Marvel: Crisis Protocol miniatures skirmish game from Atomic Mass Games. Fellow contributor Robin Brooks also chronicled his first game with MCP here on GeekDad in 2022. Since that first review, Atomic Mass Games has been going strong with releases for Marvel: Crisis Protocol . Thanks to our friends at Atomic Mass Games, I recently received a few of the newer kits to share with our readers. What Is Marvel: Crisis Protocol ? Marvel: Crisis Protocol is a miniatures skirmish game for 2 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 90-120 minutes to play. The easiest way to get into the game is with the current starter box, Marvel: Crisis Protocol – Earth's Mightiest CORE Set. This box retails for $119.99, and is available on Amazon or at various games stores. It basically is a completely reworked version of the original core box, containing new miniatures and terrain, and different versions of the same characters from the core set. If you still want the original core set, that is still available and retails for $99.99. As with the Earth's Mightiest CORE Set, the original core set is available on Amazon and at your local games stores. Even though both core sets contain rulebooks, the rules are also available online, and are periodically updated when changes are made to the game. Everything Atomic Mass Games sent over. Image by Paul Benson. Catching Up With Marvel: Crisis Protocol Atomic Mass Games sent over a variety of character packs to take a look at, as well as a piece of terrain. I assembled all of the kits, though didn't have time to paint them (AMG also sent along a big box of Star Wars: Shatterpoint squad packs, which I'll be covering in future articles). The Inhuman Royal Court box. Image by Paul Benson. Inhuman Royal Court Character Pack While most Character Packs in Marvel: Crisis Protocol tend to contain one or two characters, as the game has matured, some older characters are getting repackaged into larger boxes containing 4 characters of the same affiliation. In this case, these 4 figures are all part of the Inhumans affiliation. (Characters that share an affiliation will often get bonus abilities when they team up together). Here's a look at everything inside the box: Everything in the Inhumans Royal Court box. Image by Paul Benson. Here's a look at the 'healthy' side of the Stat Cards. As you can see, Maximus has a leadership ability, 'Call Me Maximus the Magnificent', which can only be used if other characters in his squad share his affiliation. As all of the characters in this box have the 'Inhumans' affiliation, he's good to go! A look at the Inhumans' various stats and abilities. Image by Paul Benson. Like all MCP Stat cards, when a character takes a certain amount of damage, they become injured and you flip their card to the 'injured' side. The characters then become stronger, but if they take too much damage, they'll be knocked out and removed from the game. The 'injured' side of the Inhumans stat cards. Image by Paul Benson. The Character Pack also comes with 6 Team Tactics cards, which are one-shot abilities chosen when you build your roster for a game. There are 4 affiliated cards, and 2 unaffiliated. The included Team Tactics cards. Image by Paul Benson. Here are the assembled miniatures, as well as painted versions courtesy of Atomic Mass Games: This slideshow requires JavaScript. The Inhuman Royal Court Character Pack retails for $49.99, and is available on Amazon or from your favorite games store. The Immortal Hulk Character Pack Yes, Marvel: Crisis Protocol already had a Hulk, but the Immortal Hulk is meaner, and greener. The Immortal Hulk box. Image by Paul Benson. Here's everything that comes in the Character Pack: Immortal Hulk box contents. Image by Paul Benson. The Immortal Hulk is not simply a new sculpt for the Hulk, but he actually has different abilities and stats. Here is the original Hulk's Stat card: The OG Hulk from 2019. Image by Atomic Mass Games. And here is the Immortal Hulk's card: Immortal Hulk smash! Image by Atomic Mass Games. As you can see, there are many differences between the two characters. For your games, you could choose to have both Hulks in your 10-character roster, but when you build your squad, you can only use one of them. The Immortal Hulk Character Pack also comes with 2 Team Tactics cards, both unaffiliated: Immortal Hulk's Team Tactics cards. Image by Paul Benson. Here's the completed miniature: The assembled Immortal Hulk. Image by Paul Benson. And here's what he might look like painted up: A professionally painted Immortal Hulk. Image by Atomic Mass Games. The Immortal Hulk Character Pack retails for $39.99, and is available on Amazon or at your favorite games store. Mephisto Character Pack One of Marvel's more powerful villains is the demonic Mephisto. The Mephisto Character Pack. Image by Paul Benson. Here's everything that comes in the box: Mephisto Character Pack contents. Image by Paul Benson. Like many of the newer releases, Mephisto comes with Stat cards and Team Tactics cards in multiple languages. This simplifies production as Atomic Mass Games can use just one sku for multiple countries. Mi nombre es Mefisto. Image by Paul Benson. Mephisto comes with 4 unaffiliated Team Tactics cards: Mephisto's Team Tactics cards. Image by Paul Benson. Here's a look at the assembled miniature: Mephisto, assembled. Image by Paul Benson. And here's what a professionally painted version looks like: Painted Mephisto. Image by Atomic Mass Games. The Mephisto Character Pack retails for $34.99, and is available on Amazon or at your favorite games store. Gwenom & Scarlet Spider Character Pack This character pack has 2 members of the Web Warriors affiliation, the Venom symbiote infused Gwenom, and the Peter Parker clone Scarlet Spider. The Gwenom & Scarlet Spider box. Image by Paul Benson. Here's everything that comes in the box: Contents of the Gwenom box. Image by Paul Benson. Here are the Stat cards: Scarlet Spider and Gwenom Stat cards. Image by Paul Benson. And here are the Team Tactics cards. There are two affiliated cards, and one unaffiliated. The 3 Team Tactics cards included with Gwenom & Scarlet Spider. Image by Paul Benson. Here are the assembled miniatures, as well as a look at Atomic Mass Games' painted versions: This slideshow requires JavaScript. The Gwenom & Scarlet Spider Character Pack retails for $39.99, and is available on Amazon or at your favorite games store. Tomb of Dracula Terrain Pack Finally, Atomic Mass Games sent me a beautiful terrain piece. Terrain in any miniatures game is important, but in Marvel: Crisis Protocol, it is doubly so as characters can interact with buildings in various ways, including, if they're strong enough, tossing them at other characters! The large box for the Tomb of Dracula. Image by Paul Benson. As this is a terrain piece, the box consists primarily of sprues: All the parts needed to assemble the Tomb of Dracula. Image by Paul Benson. The one other addition to the box is two One-Shot cards. These can be used optionally in a game to add flavor to the match. The Tomb of Dracula One-Shot cards. Image by Paul Benson. Here's a look at some of the assembly of the Tomb of Dracula: This slideshow requires JavaScript. And here is the completed model: The assembled Tomb of Dracula. Image by Paul Benson. And of course, so you can see what it can look like painted, here's a professionally painted Tomb: A painted Tomb of Dracula. Image by Atomic Mass Games. The Tomb of Dracula Terrain Pack retails for $119.99, and is available on Amazon or from your favorite games store. Marvel: Crisis Protocol – State of the Game A picture is worth a thousand words, and I think you can tell from the photos in this article just how detailed and dynamic the miniatures and terrain are. While the models looked great in the original core box, the sculptors have definitely stepped up their game since then. This is especially evident when you compare the sculpts from the newer Earth's Mightiest CORE set to the original core set, as both sets have different versions of the same characters. Assembly of the models is quite easy, with minimal mold line cleanup, and no fussy little bits to fumble with as with the original Baron Zemo model. Just looking at the models makes me want to get a game together, and examining each character's abilities definitely makes the gamer in me want to take them for a test drive. Part of the fun of a game like this is in building your roster, and figuring out which characters will work best with each other. And can we talk about the Tomb of Dracula? That terrain piece is stunning. My only regret is that Atomic Mass Games didn't send along the Monsters Unleashed Character Pack to go with it, but they had a very good reason: that item is so popular right now, that it's currently sold out! The Monsters Unleashed Character Pack figures. Image by Atomic Mass Games. Overall, I think things are very bright for Marvel: Crisis Protocol moving forward. There's still a deep well of untapped characters from Marvel Comics, and Atomic Mass Games has a planned a steady release of them. At this year's Adepticon convention, they announced several products that extend well into 2026, including some new Starter Packs that will each have an entire 10-character affiliation roster included right in one box. In the immediate future, I'm really looking forward to dynamic releases like the Phoenix & Phoenix Unleashed Character Pack. If you've never played Marvel: Crisis Protocol, or used to play and put it on hold, this is a great time to get into the game.
