Deadpool & Wolverine is hunting to shake off our superhero fatigue with an R-rated threequel that is raunchier and far more violent than something Disney has ever dared generate. But Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth is not stopping there. He’s also hunting to prime Dune: Aspect Two — at least when it comes to obscene popcorn buckets.
Earlier this year, the net went wild more than the sandworm style for Dune: Aspect Two‘s popcorn bucket. And Mashable was not immune. We went on a hunt for the bucket as quickly as we heard they’d surfaced in New York City. We did a blind touch test, traumatizing our co-workers in their pursuit of popcorn. We ate non-popcorn stuff out of it. We even took you inside of it.
Not to be outdone, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige promised out of CinemaCon 2024 to very best their competitor in NSFW bucketry.
As reported by The Pop Verse, Feige stated, “We have asked Deadpool himself to style a popcorn bucket for Deadpool & Wolverine,” adding, “There are some films that inadvertently make crude and lewd popcorn buckets, and then there are popcorn buckets made by Deadpool.”
Effectively, today’s the day we discover what that signifies.

What does the Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn bucket appear like?
The Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn bucket comes in the shape of Wolverine’s head, masked up in his signature yellow and black mask and caul. His mouth is wide open but toothless, waiting to be stuffed with popcorn. “Made by Deadpool” is scrawled in messy red text on the side of the bucket.
Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds’ Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts shared a teasing appear at the movie’s popcorn bucket with a video, captioned:
Years from now they will appear back at 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets started. #history #DeadpoolAndWolverine ❤️💛
In the video, the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey is employed for the massive reveal (a selection that is possibly a small much less daring due to the fact Barbie did this homage for its teaser back in 2022). Meanwhile, Deadpool’s gloved hand strokes the bucket lovingly, as popcorn spills into its opened mouth and butter rolls suggestively down its face.
Deadpool has under no circumstances been a character or a franchise identified for its subtlety. But does hammering the sex toy joke of the Dune: Aspect Two bucket household make this superhero-themed merch the winner?
We’ll see if the on the web fandom goes wild for this a single.
