Superman kicks off the DCU in just over a month! The hype for the movie has been building day by day, and, of course, James Gunn and the people at Warner Bros had to get in on the crazy popcorn bucket trend that has taken over theaters to the delight of many fans.
This time around, the popcorn bucket created for Superman is actually a popcorn popping machine, but the machine itself is not doing the popping. Superman shows off his heat vision, something we haven’t seen too much of in the trailers, and blasts the part of the machine that holds the kernels, creating your popcorn. Check it out below.
Yet another popcorn bucket was just revealed, this time a Canadian exlcusive featuring a Daily Planet newspaper dispenser with Superman himself on the front page.
Back in late May, another popcorn bucket was revealed as well as two different cups that feature the Man of Steel, Krypto, and the Fortress of Solitude. These products will only be available in Latin America, but there are bound to be similar ones in other parts of the world.
The popcorn bucket trend has been one of the most fun Hollywood trends in recent years. The past year or so has seen some incredible popcorn buckets come with the release of new movies. Deadpool & Wolverine had the most notorious popcorn bucket, but Alien: Romulus, Gladiator II, Dune: Part Two, Batman, Nosferatu, Venom: The Last Dance, Moana 2, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and more all had some pretty cool popcorn buckets available for purchase. Fantastic Four: First Steps will also have lots of different popcorn buckets and cups available for purchase.
James Gunn recently confirmed that Superman is officially “100% done” on his X account and that the “last visual effect shot has been finished and dropped into #Superman”. It’s good to hear the movie won’t be pushing its completion up to the very last second.
Superman’s cast includes David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabella Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as Clark Kent’s parents "Ma" and "Pa" Kent,
You can read a brief synopsis for the movie below.
"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."
