If you find yourself at a Regal Cinemas in June and hear someone enthusiastically shout, “I have the power!” at full volume, there’s no need to panic. They are likely just excited about their refreshments.
The popular cinema chain has just unveiled its exclusive line of popcorn buckets inspired by the highly anticipated Masters of the Universe film. While moviegoers can enjoy snacks from iconic items like Castle Grayskull or Skeletor’s Throne, our top pick is the striking Power Sword. You might be wondering, “How do you eat popcorn out of a sword?” It’s not exactly a fork-like utensil. In fact, the Power Sword isn’t just a simple popcorn bucket; it’s a unique “drink vessel.” Take a look at this photo to see it for yourself.
To clarify, it remains uncertain whether patrons are meant to fill the Power Sword with their own beverage or if the staff at Regal will assist with that. As indicated, the Power Sword includes a large drink, so perhaps customers simply receive the sword with their beverage? Alternatively, could it be that the drink is poured into the lower portion while the blade is removable? The specifics are still ambiguous. However, we hope that the sword is hollow and allows for a fun drinking experience. If it doesn’t serve that purpose, one must wonder about its design.
While it’s true that Masters of the Universe may not be the first film to offer a themed “drink vessel” alongside a popcorn bucket, we seriously doubt there has ever been one quite like this. Additionally, the collection features some exceptionally cool popcorn buckets inspired by the film that are also worth checking out. Take a look at these amazing designs.
The throne even has the ability to light up! We can only hope that it also comes with collectible figures.
As we approach the June 5 release date of Masters of the Universe, we will be sharing even more exciting details beyond just the popcorn buckets. Do you believe that the upcoming film directed by Travis Knight has the potential to become a summer blockbuster? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
