A new “Deadpool & Wolverine” popcorn bucket has been revealed.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” Popcorn Bucket
The “Deadpool & Wolverine” popcorn bucket was revealed in a video posted by the films’ star, writer, and producer, Ryan Reynolds. Its suggestive design features Wolverine with his mouth open as the vessel to hold popcorn. Hugh Jackman, who stars in the film as Wolverine, also posted the video, along with the caption, “Don’t try to butter me up.”
Later on in the clip, Deadpool’s hands can be seen covering the popcorn bucket’s eyes. The bucket has been unveiled ahead of the July 26, 2024 release of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is the third film in the “Deadpool” film franchise and the first appearance of Jackman’s Wolverine since 2017’s “Logan.” The film will be the first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie released by Disney.
The end of the video reveals that the popcorn bucket was designed by Deadpool himself, suggesting the character set out to mock his costar. This is in line with the rocky relationship between the two comic book characters that has been portrayed in the film’s trailer.
It is likely that this is only the first popcorn bucket created in promotion of the film, and that one of Deadpool, designed by Wolverine, could be coming soon. Reynolds teased the idea in his tweet with the video of the bucket, saying, “Years from now they will look back at 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets began.” You can watch the full video below:
Reynolds, along with President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, had been hinting at the crude nature of the popcorn bucket in the months leading up to its release. During this year’s Disney presentation at CinemaCon, Feige stated that the popcorn bucket would be “intentionally crude.” Upon sharing the film’s movie poster in February, Reynolds captioned the image “Wait til you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket.”
This comes after the popcorn bucket for “Dune: Part Two” went viral for its suggestive appearance, even inspiring its own “SNL” sketch.
