Get ready for the sexually suggestive Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn buckets

If you’ve ever wanted to eat popcorn out of Hugh Jackman’s mouth, now is your chance.

In a May 30 post on X, formerly Twitter, Ryan Reynolds, star of the upcoming “Deadpool and Wolverine,” revealed that the blockbuster is joining the sexually suggestive popcorn bucket game that began with “Dune 2.”

Reynolds wrote: “Years from now they’ll look back on 2024 as the year the War of the Popcorn Buckets began. #History #DeadpoolAndWolverine ❤️💛Move aside.”

The bucket is modeled after the head of the “X-Men” character Wolverine, a role that made Jackman famous and which he will play at least once more in the upcoming film, along with other rumors of guest appearances by superheroes from the Marvel universe.

Considering that all Deadpool films have an R rating, there is every indication that the film will rely heavily on these references in its marketing.

In the video, Deadpool, or at least his gloves, are seen slowly stroking the bucket as his “mouth” fills with popcorn and melted butter drips over it. And to top it all off, the commercial features the beginning of Richard Strauss’ tone poem “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” which was used as the theme song for “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Angry!

It’s not yet known exactly how much it will cost to get a Wolverine popcorn head, but Deadpool and Wolverine will be one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer when it hits theaters on July 26.

And if the film’s cheeky marketing continues, audiences of all stripes will flock to theaters to get their hands on a piece of Wolverine.
