‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Reveals Naughty Popcorn Bucket
The Deadpool & Wolverine novelty popcorn bucket is coming.
Star Ryan Reynolds unveiled a vaguely naughty popcorn bucket for Marvel’s upcoming superhero team up on Thursday. The bucket, below, is a Wolverine helmet with a very wide open mouth.
“Years from now they will look back at 2024 as when the War of the Popcorn Buckets began,” Reynolds wrote.
In the video, a gloved hand caresses the helmet, popcorn falls on its “face,” and then butter is dribbled down its side. We’re confident that no further explanation is required.
On the side of the bucket, “Designed by Deadpool” is scrawled in red.
Reynolds first teased the bucket minutes after the Deadpool & Wolverine teaser trailer dropped during the Super Bowl: “Wait til you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket,” he wrote
The reveal follows Marvel chief Kevin Feige also teasing the popcorn bucket at CinemaCon in April.
“We’ve asked Deadpool to design a popcorn bucket for Deadpool & Wolverine,” Feige told the exhibitor audience. “And I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say, there are some movies that inadvertently make crude and rude popcorn buckets, and then there are popcorn buckets designed by Deadpool.”
No word yet which cinema chains will carry the bucket, or its cost.
The move follows Dune: Part Two‘s AMC popcorn bucket, which went viral following a Saturday Night Live skit mocking it for looking like a rather painful sex toy. Such buckets have been a revenue boost for theaters.
Deadpool & Wolverine is released in theaters July 26.
