Yes, That Really is Peter Weller in Those KFC ‘RoboCop’ Commercials
Yesterday, your social media feeds were probably dominated by people talking about KFC’s bizarre “Colonel RoboCop” advertisements, a new series of commercials that use the crime-fighting pop culture icon as the fast food chain’s latest mascot. The idea is that KFC has enlisted the help of RoboCop to protect their Secret Recipe, and not everyone is a fan.
As many noticed, “Colonel RoboCop” sure seemed to have been voiced by Peter Weller himself, who of course played the character in the original franchise. And indeed, Slash Film has confirmed that yes, that is Weller’s voice you’re hearing! Weller reprised the role for the commercials, and it’s *possible* that’s even Weller inside the iconic suit.
“We have no comment on that,” Weller’s agent told the site, when they asked if the actor was physically on set and inside the RoboCop suit. So yeah. We’ll pretend it’s him.
Recently, Neill Blomkamp had noted that he wants to bring Weller back for the RoboCop sequel he’s currently working on, and if he came back for KFC, well, there’s hope for that!
In case you missed them, you can watch the “Colonel RoboCop” commercials below.
After giving fans a taste of the game earlier this year, Game Pop Studio’s debut title They Will Come dropped a brand new trailer during the Future Games Show, alongside with confirming a release date of Summer 2026 on Steam. For those who don’t know, the game is a cinematic steampunk horror adventure directed by Jeff Troutman – an award-winning Art Director with over 30 years of experience at studios including Midway Games and Petroglyph.
The game is set aboard The Endeavor, a vast airship and manufacturing site for hundreds of powerful automatons, and home to eleven-year-old Benjamin and his family of inventors. When crow-masked cultists known as the Wretched Ones seize the ship and take his family hostage, Benjamin refuses to give in. Armed with a slingshot and the hope that the dormant giant robot Talus is still somewhere in the hangar below, he sets out to take back everything that has been taken from him.
They Will Come is played from a close, cinematic over-the-shoulder perspective, placing players inside the tension of every encounter as they explore the Endeavor’s hangars, catwalks, maintenance tunnels, and observation decks – all hostile territory. Staying hidden is the only reliable path to survival: use shadows, environmental puzzles, and a scattered army of small automatons called Embots to keep one step ahead of the Wretched Ones. Talus – enormous and powerful but drained of his energy cells – needs Benjamin as much as Benjamin needs him; restore his power and the dynamic shifts, putting the hunters on the back foot.
