Ryan Reynolds, known for his playful humor, recently unveiled a unique and amusing new product—a popcorn bucket designed to look like Wolverine’s head.
Ryan Reynolds is determined to make a splash with “the War of the Popcorn Buckets.”
In his usual cheeky manner, Reynolds, 47, shared on his social media platforms, “Years from now they will look back at 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets began. #history #DeadpoolAndWolverine ❤️💛.”
Accompanying his post was a humorous video, complete with dramatic music, showcasing the popcorn bucket. Designed to resemble Wolverine’s helmeted head with an open mouth, it’s a quirky way for fans to enjoy their snacks.
Earlier this year, a limited-edition promotional item for Dune: Part Two took the internet by storm. It was a tin container with a detachable lid, designed to look like the giant, toothy sandworms from the desert planet Arrakis. This viral sensation even got stars like Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and Austin Butler talking about it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February.
Reynolds is back as the irreverent Deadpool in a new movie directed by Shawn Levy. This Disney film also marks the return of Hugh Jackman, 55, as Wolverine, a role he had previously retired from.
The excitement doesn’t stop here. Reynolds has even more surprises up his sleeve. “We’ve asked Deadpool to design the item,” revealed Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. He playfully contrasted this with the Dune bucket, saying, “There are some movies that inadvertently make crude and rude popcorn buckets, and then there are popcorn buckets designed by Deadpool.”
Levy, 55, had a good laugh during the interview, explaining that it’s actually the character Deadpool, not Reynolds himself, who’s responsible for such outrageous—and for the first time in Disney’s distribution history, R-rated—antics on and off the screen.
“When we talk about Deadpool, we often use the third person,” Levy explained. “In the suit, in the mask, on screen, Deadpool becomes something bigger, more iconic. It’s not just Reynolds; it’s an entity all on its own.”
