Ryan Reynolds this week unveiled arguably the most anticipated and sure-to-be coveted merchandise tied to his upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine”: the movie’s novelty popcorn bucket.
Said to be designed by Deadpool himself, the bucket, modeled after Wolverine, features a large opening akin to the quick-healing mutant’s wide-open mouth, complete with the low-key vulgar suggestion of a tongue (it’s from the famously inappropriate Deadpool, after all).
In his social media post announcing the buzzy item, Reynolds wrote, “Years from now they will look back at 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets began.”
What “war” could he possibly be referring to and why the hype around these movie snack containers, anyway? Popcorn buckets, in case you haven’t noticed, are having a major moment.
The first round of 2024 bucket battles, one might argue, was won in March by a “Dune: Part Two” popcorn bucket so strange it spawned a “Saturday Night Live” skit).
The appeal of these buckets – also referred to as “concession vessels” or even “Collectible Concession Vehicles” to include specialty beverage containers and the like – is wide, attracting both seasoned collectors and casual movie fans.
“Seeing an item at the movie theater of my favourite characters draws me in,” said collector Shahji Adam in an email to CNN. Adam, who also collects other pop culture products like Funko Pop figures, described his passion for popcorn buckets as “fun nostalgia” for items that help him remember the feeling of watching a particular movie for the first time.
