Eat Popcorn Out of Galactus' Big Ol' Head at AMC Theaters
Soon, you can buy Galactus' giant noggin overflowing with popcorn. Coming in at 17.5 inches tall and 20 inches wide, that's a lot of handfuls to get you through all of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the credits, and of course—any post-credit scenes in this summer's Marvel Studios release.
Check out the teaser for the popcorn bucket! Fair warning for those of you looking to go in blind to the movie, there are some minor sizzle clips of footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
I'm excited for this giant 'vessel'—though it's a missed opportunity to feature Galactus holding a cracked-open planet—especially since I've been on the hunt for one big enough to be a cool-looking recycling bin for my car. Hey, it's practical and about time to retire my Ghostbusters ghost (trash) trap.
Additionally AMC Theaters will also be featuring another mega snack container in the form of HERBIE. The unofficial member of the Fantastic Four family can join yours as not only a popcorn receptacle, but also a candy holder with a sippy drink head. The ambitious 3-in-1 robotic snackage companion looks really cute but we don't want to ruin the build with soda syrup; it kinda seems like a bad idea to just let gunk seep into the cracks. Maybe it should have just had a cup holder molded into the back of the head.
Take a look at the two exciting popcorn bucket upgrades and the rest of AMC's line up which includes character cups and popcorn tins.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens in theaters July 25.

Kevin Feige Talks Thunderbolts* Post-Credit Scene, If It Connects to Fantastic Four Movie
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently opened up about the mysterious post-credits scene in Thunderbolts* and what it could mean for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Speaking to Empire Magazine, Feige was asked about the post-credits scene. In it, the New Avengers can be seen talking about their lack of support from society when they notice a spaceship has entered orbit. After taking a look, the spaceship is revealed to be none other than the Excelsior, the Fantastic Four's ship. Although Feige confirmed that the ship does indeed look like the one that belongs to the group, he then teased that the ship might not be the 'same ship' people are thinking of. 'Their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU . . . But I'm not sure they're the same ship,' Feige teased. Fans were quick to begin theorizing on what Feige could have meant. The leading theory for most fans is that the ship is being piloted by none other than Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. However, it remains to be seen when the post-credits scene is taking place, as many have also theorized the scene could be a moment from 2026's Avengers: Doomsday. Thankfully for fans, more information will come soon when The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25, 2025. (Source: Empire)

Kevin Feige Is Trying to Throw Us off the Scent of That ‘Fantastic Four' Tease
We all saw what happened after the credits of Thunderbolts. We jumped ahead a few months into the world of Avengers: Doomsday, and in a scene directed by Doomsday helmers Joe and Anthony Russo, Yelena and the rest of the New Avengers saw something very unique flying toward Earth. The movie is pretty upfront with what it wants us to think that is, but in a new interview, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is making us second-guess ourselves. As we've discussed previously, in the end credits scene, New Avengers get word of an 'extra-dimensional' ship entering Earth's atmosphere and see a ship with a giant '4' on the side flying through space. This is accompanied by a few notes of Michael Giacchino's score to The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the only Marvel movie coming out between Thunderbolts and Doomsday. And, since all of the Fantastic Four and all of the New Avengers are in Doomsday, it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. This is the Fantastic Four leaving their dimension and coming into the MCU. Or is it? Speaking in Empire Magazine (with a quote that isn't online yet but is apparently in print), Feige said the following in regards to the Thunderbolts/New Avengers end credits scene. 'Their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU … But I'm not sure they're the same ship,' Feige said. Which means one of two things. One, Feige is just being Feige and trying to make people argue and debate about his movies with his trademark vague but admittedly fun statements. Or, two, he's giving us a new, crucial piece of the puzzle. For the record, we're guessing it's the first one. Clearly, Feige loves messing with us and sparking debate. He's been doing it for years and is all but impossible to get a straight answer out of, especially in terms of future movies. If there is any doubt about something, Feige will lean into it. So while the most obvious implication is that this is the Fantastic Four, we do not see any of the characters. There is, if you want to be literal, a bit of a grey area there. For argument's sake, let's say Feige's implications are real. This is a ship owned by or related to the Fantastic Four, but they aren't on it. What else could be happening? Maybe a character has stolen one of their ships? Maybe this is a later piece of the story and it's being sent empty for another reason? Or, is this a whole other multiversal Fantastic Four team? There are a million potential explanations, any one of which could be true. Or, because Yelena doesn't know what she's watching, because their computer system isn't aware of it, because we see the '4' and because we hear the music, it is indeed the Fantastic Four. Which way are you leaning? If Feige messing with us or setting us on the right path? Do you think we'll find out in Fantastic Four: First Steps or will we have to wait till December 2026 and Avengers: Doomsday? Let us know below.

AMC Theatres Is Adding More Pre-Movie Ads; Is This a Nessassary Evil For Theaters To Survive? — GeekTyrant
If you've ever checked your watch 15-20 minutes into what should've been the start of your movie, only to be greeted by yet another trailer or car commercial, well... buckle up. Starting July 1, AMC Theatres, the biggest movie chain in the world, is adding even more ads before the film actually begins. AMC has inked a deal with National CineMedia Inc. to begin running what's called a 'platinum spot', which will feature an ad shown right before the movie starts, in that final stretch of trailers when the anticipation is peaking. It's an ad that audiences won't miss. This is a move aimed squarely at generating what AMC calls 'vital revenue,' and here's what they had to say about it: 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance.' They're not wrong. Regal and Cinemark signed on to this model years ago. AMC was the last holdout. But, after the pandemic ravaged the exhibition industry and with 2024 delivering a mixed bag at the box office, the company is looking for every dollar it can find. Still, it's hard not to feel a little defeated. As a movie fan, you want theaters to thrive. You want AMC to survive because the industry needs it to survive. But making the moviegoing experience worse, especially when it's already fighting the "I'll just wait to stream it" mindset, feels like a step in the wrong direction. It's funny, because AMC's slogan is 'We Make Movies Better' but this will make the movie going experience at their theaters worse. It's not like audiences don't notice. According to AMC's own website: 'The listed runtime is the duration of the feature film. The feature film does not start at the published showtime. There are approximately 20 minutes of preshow material, including trailers, between the published showtime and the start of the feature film.' And now, that 'preshow' just got longer. To be fair, AMC is trying some genuinely good stuff. Discount Wednesdays are coming back, which is a solid move to get casual audiences back in the habit. But commercials? That's just another reason for people to show up late, or skip the theater entirely. This isn't about hating on ads. It's about the core experience. People go to the movies for escape, not to see ads for insurance rates or real estate agents. If the industry really wants to survive, maybe it should focus more on reminding us why we fell in love with movie theaters in the first place, not why we keep showing up 25 minutes late.
