After the recent announcement of a potential Cola Wars movie in the works, many have stated their opinions on the matter. Some have claimed that it is the start of a great franchise while others have put forward various ideas and themes the film might follow. One of them was that the film was going to tease Dr. Pepper in the end credits like Thanos.
For over a century, the world’s biggest soft drink companies, the Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo Inc., have waltzed in combat with each other. These fights on most fronts, such as marketing and advertising, product development, and even with legal battles, were generally called the Cola Wars.
The Cola Clash: Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi, a Rivalry for the Ages
With intergalactic wars featuring superheroes poised against monsters, one of the most unexpected genres has been brought to the silver screen: the Soda Pop Cinematic Universe. Audiences are going gaga over this unexpected series of movies based on the legendary soda brands and their struggle.
One such project is the recently announced Cola Wars which already has drawn a lot of support and enthusiasm. Chances are that the story would be about how Pepsi struggled to break into the nearly hundred years reign of Coca-Cola as the world’s finest soft drink company. There were many fronts on which Coke was way ahead, but Pepsi is also showing rapid growth.
As soon as the news about the project was revealed, fans took to social media to share their views about the matter as many have already stated that it will be a goated rivalry between the two. Some have also stated that the movie will turn into a great franchise and will most probably act like the MCU, leaving behind Easter Eggs, like post and end credit scenes.

The History of Coca-Cola and Pepsi
Coca-Cola and Pepsi. For a little over 100 years, just these two simple names have been bringing debates and taste tests between them. Their rivalry, referred to most often as the Cola Wars, has taken on something of a life of its own—one irresistible story full of competition, marketing, and culture. Coke is the older guy, born back in 1886, and established itself as a beloved American icon.
The secret of its recipe and aggressive marketing only served to further its place as the primary Cola. Pepsi founded much later in 1893, chose another way of going about it. Having marketed primarily to a younger demographic by offering them a drink with tastes much sweeter and cooler advertising than Coke. The 20th century further saw their rivalry intensify.
While Coca-Cola largely reigns the world market share, Pepsi has its ruling moments. The Cola Wars extend beyond taste with various events either of them sponsors and aligns with various cultural movements. Coke leans toward the classic Americana with which Pepsi goes in terms of youth rebellion and pop culture.
The battle goes on to this day, only that it has turned more silent. They both still navigate a changing beverage landscape, offering diverse product lines from sparkling water to kombucha. Their rivalry even has been explored in movies and documentaries which underline not just its cultural reputation but also that in the world of soft drinks, competition is fizzy and fun.
