I have never been more invested in a popcorn bucket in my life. When it comes to Deadpool & Wolverine, the idea that the Wade Wilson movie could poke fun at the Dune: Part II popcorn bucket of the sandworm delights me. Now, we have Ryan Reynolds’ depraved bucket.
During CinemaCon, Marvel came out during the Disney panel and gave fans a lot of excitement for the future. With clips from Captain America: Brave New World and footage from Deadpool & Wolverine, those in attendance were buzzing about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And then came Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talking about the popcorn bucket heard around the world.
“Deadpool & Wolverine is getting a popcorn bucket which will be intentionally crude and lewd. #CinemaCon,” ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis shared on X and GOOD.
All that being said, nothing actually could have prepared me for what the bucket would actually end up being. I knew there was going to be a sex joke of some kind. It is Wade Wilson, after all, but the fact that they went this hard into making the popcorn bucket…well…look like a Wolverine sex toy? I am crying this is perfection.
Before you watch the video that Ryan Reynolds posted on his page, prepare yourself. It is epic.
Where you expecting Logan’s mouth to be hanging open like that? Is this what you wanted out of the Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn bucket?
My dirty king is coming back!
Wade Wilson, as a character, provides fans with an interesting vantage point into our superhero stories. He is our eyes and ears in a lot of ways and calls out things that are happening in the production of these movies, as well as what we’re experiencing in the real world. He also loves to make a sex joke which is what makes this bucket so hilarious to look at.
It is a beautiful commentary on the conversation that surrounded Dune: Part II‘s ill-conceived sandworm bucket and oh boy oh boy what jokes will emerge from this Wolverine bucket.
