Marvel Thunderbolts Popcorn Buckets Driving Into Movie Theaters. On May 2nd, 2025, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will return to movie theaters to experience Thunderbolts*. Initially announced in 2022, the movie was delayed due to the writers’ strike from a 2024 release to May 2025. The hype train has left the station, and we are starting to see movie theaters, AMC, Regal, and Cinemark, release information about the upcoming Popcorn Bucket movie tie-ins. Marvel popcorn buckets have become a huge business for theaters and fans worldwide.
Red Guardian seems to be the character AMC, Regal, and Cinemark are going with for Marvel Thunderbolts* popcorn buckets, with his helmet and limousine being replicated. Of the three theaters, the Red Guardians Limousine at AMC Theaters is the one fans are talking about the most. The Helmet popcorn bucket looks great in an Instagram post by Cinemark. Regal hasn’t released a major popcorn bucket design, but the sipper Funko toppers are worth a look.
In our opinion, AMC Theaters, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, and Marcus Theaters are missing out on making the coolest popcorn bucket ever! Just imagine having Bucky Barnes’ vibranium arm filled with popcorn?!
No Prices have been listed yet, we will update this article when we have that information! They will be releasing starting May 1st, 2025. Check out the full list of Popcorn Buckets and Sippers coming to Regal Theaters, AMC Theaters, and Cinemark below:

In “Thunderbolts*,” Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
Will this dysfunctional group tear apart or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late? Returning to their Marvel Cinematic Universe roles are Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
