It’s always fun seeing adorable pets appear in the movies, and this trend made an epic comeback this summer. Dogs and cats walked the red carpet at the premieres of summer’s biggest blockbusters, and these three became a true viral sensation online.
Frodo – A Quiet Place: Day One
Lupita Nyong’o was scared of cats before starring in A Quiet Place: Day One, but this film changed the way she looks at them. Her character had an adorable pet named Frodo, and she had to overcome her fear of felines to land this role. Hours of cat therapy eventually worked, and the Oscar winner became such a huge feline lover that she later adopted a cat of her own.
Dogpool – Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool & Wolverine featured many different versions of the Merc with a Mouth – including one in the canine form. It was up to British pup Peggy to bring the iconic Dogpool to life, and she was cast in this role after winning the title of Britain’s ugliest dog in 2023.
Brisket – Twisters
Glen Powell’s dog Brisket was such a crucial part of the promo for Twisters that many people were shocked to see he’s not in the film itself. Powell adopted him while filming Twisters, and he brought the cast and crew closer together before stealing their thunder during the film’s promo tour.
