When will the Venom saga finally end? The answer is October 25, with the release of Venom: The Last Dance, marking the end of the symbiote-filled trilogy. Tom Hardy will be returning as Eddie Brock, the journalist who bonded with the alien symbiote Venom, in this third instalment.

Apart from the movie itself, Venom: The Last Dance is drawing attention for something unexpected: a limited-edition movie-themed popcorn bucket. This merchandise has sparked excitement among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting this unique item.

Leaked images have added to the buzz, showcasing a head-shaped bucket resembling Venom, complete with its iconic open mouth. The popcorn bucket is bound to sell quickly, just like other iconic movie merchandise from past releases.

The first look at this Venom: The Last Dance popcorn bucket came via a Fandango Instagram post, where fans got a glimpse of the highly anticipated item. Following in the footsteps of other unusual bucket designs like Dune: Part Two's sandworm, this one has quickly become a must-have for collectors.

Online reactions have been mixed, with some fans eager to grab one while others find the design a bit disturbing. Yet, it seems certain that the bucket will be a popular item, with demand expected to be high.

The official synopsis of the movie says:

"Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance."

The design of the venom-themed popcorn bucket from Venom: The Last Dance

The design of the Venom: The Last Dance popcorn bucket immediately caught the attention of fans. Modeled after Venom's head, the bucket features the character's wide-open mouth, giving it a distinctive look.

The opening, designed for holding popcorn, is situated inside Venom’s gaping jaws, creating a visual that's both captivating and unsettling. The design fits well into the recent trend of quirky and elaborate movie-themed popcorn buckets, where the more eccentric the bucket, the more attention it garners.

Some fans were quick to note the parallels between this bucket and past movie products, especially the Dune: Part Two popcorn bucket, which became well-known for its unusual design. But Venom's design better fits the dark, edgy look of the series, so it would be a suitable item of memorabilia for long-time fans of the franchise.


Reactions from fans

The release of the Venom: The Last Dance popcorn bucket elicited varied responses from fans. Although many were happy to get their hands on the item, some thought that the design is disturbing.

Online debate sprang from the sight of Venom's wide-open mouth, poised to consume popcorn. On social media, comments ranged from enthusiasm to discomfort, some fans wondering whether they wanted to eat popcorn out of such a terrifying-looking bucket.

Despite the varied reactions, the bucket is expected to be a major hit. Limited-edition movie-themed buckets tend to sell out fast, and this one is likely no exception. The uniqueness of the design, combined with the hype surrounding the final Venom movie, has made it a must-have item for collectors and fans alike.


A growing trend in movie-themed buckets

The Venom: The Last Dance popcorn bucket follows in the footsteps of other wacky designs seen this year.

The movie-themed popcorn bucket trend kicked off earlier with the release of Dune: Part Two and continued with other bizarre designs like the Alien: Romulus facehugger bucket and Deadpool & Wolverine's infamous offering. These buckets have become collector's items, turning an ordinary snack container into something worth talking about.

This summer, Beetlejuice and Terrifier 3 joined the trend, releasing buckets that pushed the boundaries of what fans expected from movie merchandise. Beetlejuice offered a striped sandworm bucket, while Terrifier 3 went even further with a gory clown head. Now, with the release of Venom's head-shaped bucket, the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

With Venom: The Last Dance releasing soon, fans are eager to see how Eddie Brock and Venom's final adventure will play out. Social media is abuzz with rumors and leaks, especially about potential team-ups between Venom and Spider-Man in future Marvel projects.

However, for now, fans are focused on the immediate excitement surrounding the movie's final trailer and the appearance of Knull, God of the Symbiotes, which has added an extra layer of anticipation.

The popcorn bucket is just one element of the overall fan excitement. As Venom 3 approaches its release date, the final showdown between Eddie Brock, Venom, and their symbiote enemies is what fans are truly waiting for. Still, the bucket has added a fun twist to the anticipation, with many hoping to grab one before they sell out.


Looking ahead: what comes after Venom: The Last Dance?

While Venom: The Last Dance is the conclusion of the trilogy, fans are already speculating about what might come next for Venom in the broader Marvel universe.

Some rumors suggest that a future crossover with Spider-Man, potentially tying Venom’s story into the larger MCU. Although nothing is confirmed, the idea of Venom entering the Multiverse has certainly piqued fans' interest.

This final movie will undoubtedly leave fans with lingering questions about Venom's future. However, for now, all eyes are on the October 25 release date and the conclusion of the trilogy. Fans are eagerly awaiting the film and, of course, the opportunity to grab that head-shaped popcorn bucket.

Venom: The Last Dance will mark the thrilling conclusion to the Venom trilogy, and fans are excited not only for the movie but also for the exclusive merchandise accompanying it. Designed like Venom's head, the movie-themed popcorn bucket has created a lot of buzz, as its unique form grabs the interest of both casual movie buffs and collectors.

One thing is certain: the bucket will be a hot item this October regardless of whether fans are thrilled or terrified. Fans are getting ready for what might be one of the most unforgettable finales in recent movie history as excitement for the release grows.
