“[Y[ou don’t know that I’ve signed a three picture deal with Marvel. This is not a one-off thing,” he said. “And I’m really going to be in trouble just for even saying that. So don’t get hung up on ‘Pizza Poppa.’ He’s not just a pizza vendor. Not even close…I’m already gonna get calls. They might pull this interview…Marvel doesn’t care, they’re gonna shut you down if you let this slip out.”
“I can't talk about a lot of it. But if you think he's just the pizza guy, you are so gravely mistaken. Okay? It's a character that's a special interloper. He's an interloper between universes,” Campbell told Collider, recalling his character’s brief Doctor Strange 2 appearance after Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) run into him in the street.
“There was a reason why he delayed Doctor Strange for about 45 seconds, did he not? He delayed him. He did not go further down the street. You can put into it whatever you want. I know for a fact he saved Doctor Strange's life for a reason. So he's put there for a reason…It has nothing to do with his job. My role in the multiverse is way beyond being a pizza vendor. I mean, you're only going to realize this, like when I talk to you again in five years. Your mind will be blown at what they do with what was formerly known as the Pizza Poppa.”
