Honor the Merc with a Mouth with his favorite food.
A growing trend among highly anticipated movies is for them to get promotional popcorn buckets, and with Deadpool & Wolverine set to be one of the biggest movies of the year, it's already earned memorabilia that honors the titular duo. Alamo Drafthouse has announced a new popcorn bucket that will be available exclusively at screenings of the sequel during its opening weekend, but the fun of the film doesn't end there, as the theater chain will also be unleashing a themed menu that pays respects to the characters. The Deadpool & Wolverine menu launches today and the limited-edition popcorn buckets will be available at showings of the film in its opening weekend while supplies last, beginning on July 26th.
Per press release, "We knew Deadpool and Wolverine making their first appearance in the MCU was a big deal, so we put maximum effort into our exclusive Deadpool & Wolverine Menu to give it maximum tastiness. You can try our three new specials -- including Chimi-Freakin-Changas, of course -- at any Alamo Drafthouse show from July 23rd to August 11th. If you want to add a particularly handsome snack receptacle to your collection, then be sure to order our limited-edition Deadpool Popcorn Bucket at any Deadpool & Wolverine show on opening weekend while supplies last."
