When it comes to superhero movie popcorn buckets, Marvel has been hogging the spotlight lately. After all, we’re about to get a giant Galactus head for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But now, DC is stepping into the ring. Because what can compete with a giant space villain for popcorn bucket supremacy more than Krypto the Superdog? Yes, Kal-El’s mighty pet from James Gunn’s upcoming Superman is front and center in several new popcorn buckets for Cinemark theaters. And the Man of Steel himself, he gets to adorn a few buckets too. You can check the first images of the Cinemark Superman popcorn buckets, and their other Superman exclusive merchandise, down below:
The Krypto the Superdog popcorn bucket is the star of the line, with Kal-El’s Kryptonian pooch (based on James Gunn’s own dog Ozu) holding an old-school popcorn bag in his mouth. Also on the Krypto tip, Cinemark has a Krypto dog bowl popcorn bucket adorned with a Superman ‘S’ shield logo. You also have Superman flying with Krypto on a popcorn tin, and another popcorn tin with the Last Son of Krypton with his arms crossed and the ‘S’ shield logo on the back. Yet another popcorn tin has some classic DC Comics Superman art, also with Krypto. Superman’s arctic Fortress of Solitude cup looks like the perfect place to pour a chilly beverage. The Superman and Krypto plush toys are also adorable.
Cinemark has not revealed any prices for their exclusive Superman items as of yet. Although we imagine all the Cinemark Superman popcorn buckets and other merchandise should be available online at the official Cinemark Shop sometime very soon. AMC and Regal will no doubt debut their own Superman popcorn buckets and other merchandise soon. As always, these will be limited in quantity. James Gunn’s Superman from DC Studios will land in theaters on July 11.
