Anticipation builds for Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, and with it comes an exciting collectible popcorn bucket for fans.
Get ready to arm yourself with your sword, shield, and…popcorn bucket? We’re on the verge of stepping back into the arena with the much-anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s monumental 2000 film, Gladiator. Early glimpses suggest this film will deliver everything viewers crave: epic battle scenes, rich drama, and the star power of Pedro Pascal, among others. Paul Mescal takes the lead role as Lucius, the nephew of Commodus (portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix), the primary antagonist from the first film, alongside a star-studded cast that includes Denzel Washington and Joseph Quinn.
With this potential blockbuster set to make waves at the box office, it’s no surprise that theaters like Regal Cinemas are preparing with unique Gladiator II merchandise, including highly sought-after collectible popcorn buckets. Honestly, these might very well be the most impressive snack holders we’ve seen so far.
Regal unveils its Gladiator II popcorn buckets
As the release date approaches, Regal Cinemas has officially unveiled its Gladiator II popcorn bucket and drink cup, adorned with mini Gladiator helmet replicas and classic Roman designs. It appears the helmet’s top serves as the bucket lid, meaning you’ll have to lift it to indulge in handfuls of delicious popcorn. While it may not be as eccentric as the Dune: Part Two container, it certainly adds a humorous touch.

The latest Gladiator II merchandise will become available for purchase starting November 22, coinciding with the movie’s premiere in theaters. Be prepared to spend quite a bit on the popcorn bucket and drink cup, as these specialty items can easily go over $40 each, as noted on Regal’s official site. It seems that collecting movie theater items is becoming almost as profitable as the films themselves!
We’re still waiting to see what AMC Theatres has in store for its Gladiator II merchandise, but there’s no denying Regal’s armored popcorn bucket is truly impressive. May the best cinema chain prevail. Barritus!
