Previously, collectible popcorn buckets were mainly distributed at movie premieres and press events. During that time, the limited-edition buckets that fans received were usually generic tins with decorations from the movie theme. Meanwhile, some amusement parks, like Disneyland and Universal Studios, sell specially-shaped buckets based on their intellectual property, which come at a high cost.

The story of Thunderbolts* centers around a group of antiheroes who go on a dangerous mission, where they face their past. The upcoming action-packed film is directed by Jake Schreier and features a star-studded cast which includes David Harbor, Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

It is a symbol and counterforce to his negative characteristics. The Void is more of a force than a person and can transform into any form at will.


As the release of the fim approaches, fans are excited about the film's new direction, which sees a team of antiheroes confront their past and the definition of what it means to be a hero.

Thunderbolts* will release in theaters on May 2, 2025.
