Last summer, Marvel Studios ruled movie theater collectible popcorn buckets with their Deadpool & Wolverine buckets. (With some very stiff competition from the Dune popcorn bucket of course). Well, next month gives us our first Marvel Studios popcorn bucket of the year, when Captain America: Brave New World hits cinemas. Naturally, AMC Theatres designed this latest prop-quality bucket to look like Cap’s iconic vibranium shield. It features a whopping 300-ounce collapsible shield that snaps into action. Guests can also get a soft touch material Armor Cup and top it off with a lid, which also replicates the shield. You can check out the first images right here:
In addition, the folks at AMC Theaters will have a limited-time All-American and exclusive gourmet popcorn variety, called Firecracker Crunch. They’ve covered the popcorn in white fudge, with red and blue popping candy. It also contains a subtle raspberry flavor. “Firecracker” is an apt name, since we expect lots of fireworks when Sam Wilson’s Captain America, played by Anthony Mackie, and Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk finally throw down. Are we to guess that the raspberry represents the Red Hulk? We’re not sure, but we’ve decided that’s our official Captain America: Brave New World head canon.
We’re not sure if Captain America: Brave New World is getting any other popcorn buckets. But we would not be surprised if we get some Red Hulk Hands. The Hulk Hands became a huge selling toy back in the day, one that a lot of you probably reading this owned as kids. So some Red Hulk Hands as popcorn buckets would be an incredible homage to those toys of yesteryear. Sam Wilson’s wings would be cool too, although we’re not sure how that would work exactly. We’ll just have to wait and see if they surprise us with more. In the meantime, Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters everywhere on February 14.
