Deadpool 3 plans to “improve” Dune 2′s popcorn bucket
Although there is no design as such yet, Ryan Reynolds is planning for the Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket to surpass the one released for Dune 2.
The war to see who has the crudest popcorn bucket has inadvertently begun. Dune 2 released a collectible popcorn bucket for the AMC theater chain based on the appearance of the giant sandworms from the planet Arrakis. However, the minds of many Internet users eventually turned this collectible into a viral meme filled with NSFW jokes. With that in mind, it was only a matter of time, and with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ hitting theaters this summer, that the first R-rated movie would plan its own.
Feige Confirms Deadpool & Wolverine Popcorn Bucket
This new popcorn bucket was confirmed during the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ presentation at CinemaCon 2024. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, commented at the presentation (as reported by Aaron Couch, film editor at The Hollywood Reporter): “We’ve asked Deadpool to design a popcorn bucket for Deadpool & Wolverine. There are some movies that inadvertently make crude and rude popcorn buckets, and then there are popcorn buckets designed by Deadpool.”
Previously, actor Ryan Reynolds hinted that the Deadpool 3 premiere would not be without its special collectible. “Wait until you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket,” he wrote on Twitter / X in mid-February. We still don’t have a design, but Feige’s words only confirm that something is coming.
Deadpool Ready to Save the MCU
After a long wait, we finally got to watch the first trailer for ‘Deadpool 3′ during Super Bowl LVIII. The trailer gave us a brief glimpse of how the mutants will come to the MCU and how Deadpool will come to save the day along with his great friend Wolverine. While we have some details on the story, there are still many questions up in the air and we will have to wait until July 26, 2024, to find out these answers and many more with the theatrical release of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.
