'The Reach Around': Pedro Pascal And His Fantastic Four Co-Stars Got A Look At His Popcorn Bucket, And They Had Some Dirty Thoughts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ever since the NSFW Dune: 2 popcorn bucket took the internet by storm last year, special containers for this movie theater snack staple have been more abundant. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the latest 2025 movie to get in on the popcorn bucket action, and I'm not just talking about the $80 Galactus one. Pedro Pascal's Mister Fantastic also got his own popcorn bucket, and The Mandalorian actor and his co-stars from the new Marvel movie had some dirty thoughts upon seeing it. Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn bore witness to the glory of the Mister Fantastic popcorn bucket when Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Alan Cumming presented it to him. Cumming, who will co-star with these four when he reprises Nightcrawler in next year's Avengers: Doomsday, then pointed out how when positioned in a certain way, this popcorn bucket can also look NSFW: At first glance, there's nothing that looks particularly sexual about this popcorn bucket. It's just Mister Fantastic using his stretching ability to hold what is, from his perspective, a giant popcorn bucket. But then Alan Cumming rotated the bucket until it looked like Reed Richards has wrapped his extendable penis around the bucket. As Pedro Pascal was laughing upon seeing the bucket for the first time, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Ben Grimm/The Thing, dropped this A+ comment: It's the reach around.

After getting the NSFW jokes out of the way, Alan Cumming passed the popcorn bucket to Vanessa Kirby, who's playing Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. Pedro Pascal got a kick out the little version of his character, especially how it serves as the bucket's handle. And while Kirby shared some of the popcorn with Joseph Quinn, a.k.a. Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, she decided to keep the popcorn bucket in her possession, which Cumming quipped she was allowed to do because she's pregnant. If you'd like to get your own Mister Fantastic popcorn bucket, it'll cost you $39.99 at your nearest Cinemark theater. Over at Regal Cinemas, you'll have the option of buying a Fantasticar popcorn bucket for $56.95. You can also find the Galactus popcorn bucket at both theater chains, as well as AMC. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now playing in theaters, with the aforementioned actors being joined by Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner and Paul Walter Hauser, among others. It'll be fine for kids to eat popcorn from the Mister Fantastic bucket as they're watching Marvel's First Family's return to the big screen, but maybe don't take a cue from Ebon Moss-Bachrach and refer to it as the 'reach around' in front of them.

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' popcorn bucket is restocking: How to get one
It's huge, it's bright and it'll cost you almost $100. It's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Galactus LED Popcorn Bucket, which will be available to pre-order this weekend. The Galactus popcorn bucket was initially released on Friday, July 25, the same day the film hit theaters, Cassie Nichols, an AMC Theatres spokesperson, told USA TODAY in an email. "It is virtually sold out after one day of sales," she said, adding that another item, the H.E.R.B.I.E. Concession Vessel, is also selling fast. According to AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, and Cinemark, the Galactus buckets are selling for around $80, and the first batch has already sold out online. The next group will be available on Saturday, July 26. The limited edition buckets can only be purchased once per customer, the theater chains said online. Meanwhile, the H.E.R.B.I.E. buckets are being sold in theaters only, as of Friday, July 25, according to Nichols. Here is what to know about the Galactus popcorn bucket, including where to get it and when it'll arrive at your doorstep. When will Galactus buckets be available for pre-order? The buckets will be available for pre-order at 10 a.m. EST on Saturday, July 26, and customers can also get the buckets in person at the theaters. This next round will be fans' last chance to get their hands on the bucket, according to AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, and Cinemark websites. The upcoming preorder will be the "final production run" of the buckets, which are expected to ship in early December, the theaters said. Other items the theaters have listed include the "Fantasticar" Popcorn Bucket ($59.95 at Regal Cinemas), which looks like the superhero group's flying vehicle from the film. At Cinemark, most Fantastic Four-themed buckets are on sale in theaters nationwide while supplies last, Cinemark Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage David Haywood told USA TODAY on Friday, July 25. He added that the Galactus Popcorn Bucket comes with an XL popcorn on the side for $79.99. Cinemark is also selling an exclusive Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket for $39.95, and it comes filled with popcorn, as well as a large drink. The theater chain also has traditional popcorn tins featuring the characters for $13.95 (and yes, those come filled with popcorn too), Haywood said. A full list of 'Fantastic Four' merch for each theater chain can be found at: AMC Theatres – Cinemark – Regal Cinemas – How big is the bucket? The bucket, shaped like the head of Galactus, is 'massive' and features glowing, bright LED eyes, according to the theaters' descriptions. It's made of plastic and has a metallic finish. Calling the bucket the 'largest popcorn container ever,' the theaters said it is 20 inches wide and nearly 10 inches deep. The bucket holds about nine liters of popcorn, Haywood added. Due to its size, the bucket will ship in a pretty large box, increasing the cost, according to the theaters. What is 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' about? 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' made its theatrical release in the U.S. on July 25. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film is set in a 1960s retro-futuristic world; it follows Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they defend Earth from space god Galactus and Shalla-Bal. The movie's budget was around $200,000,000, and it runs for just under two hours, according to IMDb. As of Friday afternoon, the film's Rotten Tomatoes ratings are 88% among critics and 92% among everyday moviegoers. What popcorn buckets are coming in the near future? When asked about other upcoming releases, Nichols said there will be collectible items sold for films such as "The Naked Gun," "The Bad Guys 2" and "Freakier Friday". "Our themed popcorn buckets have become a popular form of movie merchandise, evolving from basic tins to elaborate, collectible vessels," Nichols said. "The collectibles gained significant traction in 2019 with the R2-D2 bucket for 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' and have since grown even more in popularity among moviegoers with releases tied to major films." Cinemark began seeing interest in movie-specific popcorn buckets years ago with the light-up popcorn tub for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" in November 2022, Haywood said. "We ordered a relatively small quantity, which quickly flew off shelves," he added. "This enthusiasm was really cemented – and we knew this trend (had) really taken on a life of its own – with the launch of our extremely popular 'Scream VI' Ghostface popcorn tub in March 2023. The program was so successful that theaters sold out instantly." Saleen Martin is a reporter on USA TODAY's NOW team. She is from Norfolk, Virginia – the 757.

Crunchyroll's Chief Content Officer Asa Suehira said, 'Infinity Castle will also be released on an unprecedented scale. I believe it will be a milestone in theatrical anime.' Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle adapts the 'Infinity Castle' subarc of Koyoharu Gotouge's manga, beginning the final arc titled 'The Final Battle.' The film follows Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps as they enter Muzan Kibutsuji's fortress for the concluding showdown. Haruo Sotozaki is the director of the film, with animation and writing by Ufotable.

This 'Superman' Merch Is Already in High Demand, Especially 'That' Popcorn Bucket
This 'Superman' Merch Is Already in High Demand, Especially 'That' Popcorn Bucket originally appeared on Parade. Not entirely sure when the collectible movie theater popcorn bucket became a thing, but, wow, is it a whole situation. With the highly-anticipated new Superman, starring David Corenswet, hitting theaters on July 11, the movie merch is piling in. From the aforementioned collectible Superman popcorn buckets to all kinds of cuteness featuring the red-caped hero's dog Krypto, you'll need to compile a shopping list to get your hands on everything. But here's the thing, different theater chains have their own signature Superman popcorn bucket. So, like, how many times are we going to see this movie to collect these buckets? Apparently we're going to be enjoying a lot of popcorn, too. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Instagram influencer @markie_devo does a really nice job showcasing all of the potential Superman collectibles. The bucket available at Alamo Drafthouse was available for pre-order, but it appears they've already sold out. It's a classic-style bucket styled to look like Superman's suit and retails for $25. Meanwhile, over at AMC, their "bucket" is shaped like an old-school newsrack for The Daily Planet, Clark Kent and Lois Lane's employer. But Cinemark may win for overall cuteness. They actually have two Superman popcorn buckets—one shaped like a dog bowl for Supes' pup Krypto. And the other is a figurine of Krypto holding a popcorn bucket, ready to be filled with the actual yet, still, Regal Cinemas has their own popcorn bucket duo. One is shaped like a popcorn machine with the Superman logo at the top. And the other is a light blue bucket with a Krypto figure attached, looking over the bowl. Again, I'm not really sure what a fan is to do in this situation, other than save their pennies to spend on all of this collectible goodness. Of course, if you need a little something sweet after chomping on all that salty popcorn, there is the Dairy Queen Superman Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard to take care of that.
