There's no getting away from it at this point: Popcorn buckets are most definitely a thing now.
Whether you're of the opinion that these (often bizarre-looking) plastic holders serve as a fun collectible or are a sign of the apocalypse, they are usually good for a few laughs.
Alamo Drafthouse has now unveiled a first look at its exclusive M3GAN 2.0 popcorn bucket, which takes the form of the M3GAN's head - and opens in three segments, just like the movie's murderous robot. We also have a pair of new posters, a brief teaser, and some low-res stills, possibly from the new trailer that's said to be coming our way soon.
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage, its creator, Gemma, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Emlia's self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders. Hoping to stop Emilia, Gemma decides to resurrect M3GAN, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal.
Gerard Johnstone returns as director, and the film co-stars Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma’s loyal tech teammates, Cole and Tess, and new characters played by Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement. Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and Allison Williams, the film is executive produced by Gerard Johnstone, Adam Hendricks, Greg Gilreath, Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Mark D. Katchur.
M3GAN 2.0 is set to be released in theaters on June 27.
