Marvel's $80 popcorn bucket sets world record in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, July 24 (Reuters) - A colossal $80 popcorn container shaped like Marvel's planet-devouring villain Galactus is offering a unique twist on movie snacks. During its unveiling in Los Angeles, the container drew excited fans to the TCL Chinese Theatre and set a Guinness World Record. The mammoth movie snack holder, tied to the upcoming "Fantastic Four: First Steps" film, measures 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 17.5 inches tall. It boasts a capacity of 341 ounces (10 liters) – enough to satisfy even Galactus' cosmic appetite. Lacey Noel, a tour guide at the TCL Chinese Theatre, presented the bucket to eager onlookers. "It is $80 and people are currently eating it up," she said. The Galactus container isn't just about size. It features a metallic finish and piercing bright blue LED eyes, adding to its appeal as a display piece long after the popcorn is gone. Fans lined up at the theater's concession stand, eager to get their hands on the limited-edition item. This record-breaking popcorn bucket represents more than just a novel way to serve cinema snacks. It's part of a broader strategy by movie studios and theaters to lure audiences back to the big screen with exclusive, tangible experiences that can't be replicated at home. Chris Banda, a fan who purchased the Galactus bucket, praised the initiative. "I think these buckets are fantastic," he said. "I obviously wouldn't have got this if I didn't come to the theaters and I think it's designed very well and it's got a lot of popcorn, so cool."

Vanessa Kirby puzzles Fantastic Four fans as she strokes Pedro Pascal's face in latest intimate gesture
Vanessa Kirby left fans baffled Thursday as she affectionately stroked Pedro Pascal's face during a new interview while promoting their latest movie. The co-stars have been on a press run in recent months to promote Fantastic Four: First Steps, in which they play married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Spending time together has seemingly brought the pair closer, with Vanessa, 38, and Pedro, 50, spotted showing each other support in public on several other occasions. It's far from the first time the film stars have displayed their strong friendship, with the duo again appearing almost peculiarly close as they answered questions for Heart Radio this week. And just a couple of weeks ago during Fantastic Four's premiere in Los Angeles, Pedro was pictured stroking Vanessa's baby bump as they posed on the red carpet. The very public displays of affection have however sparked debate on social media, with some eagle-eyed fans branding their relationship slightly 'weird'. But other fans were quick to point out that Vanessa was merely trying to ease Pedro's anxiety. One person wrote: 'Guys calm down. Pedro suffers from some type of anxiety disorder. He needs to touch or be touched by people to make him calm down and feel comfortable.' It's something Vanessa and Pedro have been open about, with the actress speaking about helping her pal through anxious moments in an interview last year. Talking after they were spotted holding hands on-stage at San Diego Comic-Con last year, Vanessa told Vanity Fair: 'What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic. 'He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.' During a chat with Men's Health last month, Pedro revealed exactly how he copes with anxiety in difficult moments. He said: 'I noticed, especially during the period of summer 2020, and kind of isolation and how long my FaceTimes were and my phone conversations, that I had started to make an effort to engage more, having previously lost that options in many ways. 'I remember back in high school I was always such a good talker with friends... and then I don't know how many days had gone by where we stopped doing that. 'It's something I've held onto very much. I was always one to reach out when I'm facing something that is challenging or making me anxious.' Vanessa and Pedro's latest project together, Fantastic Four: First Steps, was released on Thursday. It's the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series. Directed by Matt Shakman, the movie sees the Fantastic Four protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus. Leading lady Vanessa looked sensational at the movie's many premieres during recent weeks. Maternity style: At the movie's German premiere last month, Vanessa put her baby bump on display in a sleek black dress Vanessa first revealed she was pregnant with her child last month as she showed off her bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico. Last December, it was reported she was engaged to her boyfriend Paul Rabil after two years together. Vanessa allegedly set to head down the aisle with lacrosse player, 39, after he popped the question, according to Page Six.
