'That's Not His Arm': The Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket is the New Dune Popcorn Bucket
'Are you the Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket or are you just happy to see me?'
We know that Fantastic Four: First Steps is going to be getting a big Galactus popcorn bucket, but there is also another bucket based on the main four members, and the reveal for the Mr. Fantastic popcorn bucket is getting the same reactions as the one from Dune not too long ago .

While the bucket is obviously showing off Mr. Fantastic's powers by having him stretch his arm around the bucket, the fact that his left arm isn't showing and the bucket seems to be directly connected to his crotch immediately prompted the rest of Twitter to make jokes about how Reed is actually using his 'third arm' to hold the bucket.

If anything, it does feel like Mr. Fantastic is a very tricky character to market nowadays since his powers always lead to someone somehow finding a way to make a joke about how he can stretch his penis. Remember when Reed Richards was released for Marvel Rivals earlier this year?

This isn't the edit, but you get the point.
Well, the joke has been made multiple times, even in the official comics; so I guess anyone who is trying to market Mr. Fantastic should be well aware what to expect when you have a guy with stretchy powers. Good thing DC's Plastic Man isn't as popular because we wouldn't be hearing the end of it.
Catch Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes to cinemas on July 25.

Sandman Co-Creator on Neil Gaiman Cancellation
We were experiencing a kind of Neil Gaiman renaissance until recently with adaptations for things like Sandman and Good Omens , but after a recent scandal, Gaiman has effectively been cancelled by the internet and all of his connections have been dropping him. Netflix is currently gearing up for the second season of Sandman , and with Gaiman's involvement being such a huge elephant in the room, series co-creator David Goyer talks about how weird it's been to push forward without Gaiman. Talking to Variety, Goyer explained: 'When the accusations first came out, we were three weeks from finishing filming Season 2 — so we were very, very far down the path and Neil wasn't as involved in Season 2 as he was in Season 1. Obviously, it's complicated. I have tremendous respect for women that come forward in those situations. It's really concerning, but I know that Netflix, at the time, felt, 'God, we spent two years making this thing. There's all these actors and writers and directors involved that, if we didn't air it, wouldn't be fully compensated for it.' And so we just decided, we're going to let this work speak for itself.' Despite Goyer and the rest of the team pushing forward with the series, Goyer did add, ' But I'd be crazy to say it wasn't weird.' The allegations against Gaiman had come out summer of last year, and the fantasy community was rocked online by seeing one of the most famous authors in the genre get accused of sexual assault. Good Omens had promptly dropped Gaiman; and while Sandman was expected to run for longer, it does seem like ending it with the final season would be the right move. We don't know what the future holds for future Gaiman work, but he was certainly having a good go at the spotlight right before he wasn't. The Sandman Season 2 is set to come to Netflix on July 3.

'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack earned its biggest streaming day of all-time on Spotify on June 22 with 8.5 million streams. Its up 500% vs release day. — chart data (@chartdata) June 23, 2025 As it turns out, it actually took a huge team to bring the Huntrix to life on the big screen. Besides the original songs being written by several writers including Danny Chung, IDO, EJAE, Vince, Jenna Andrews, and more; the movie also brought in new singers to record the original songs including EJAE (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey). We don't know how long the KPDH train is going to run yet, but the movie is currently No. 1 on Netflix, and a lot of people online have been gushing about how it celebrates everything that fans love about K-Pop from the band members having specific personalities to them going on game shows and having fan meets. No sequel has been announced for K-Pop Demon Hunters yet, but the ending does leave fans hopeful for a follow-up, especially with the billboard of Huntrix saying they have a new song/album called Comeback. Some are even hoping that the girls actually get to go on a world tour this time, and maybe they can find Hunters from every other nation—pretty much like what happened with Trolls World Tour .

Latest Trailer for Weapons Proves It's The Most Anticipated Horror Movie of the Year
Zach Cregger took everyone by surprise with Barbarian , and before he gets to go mainstream with his reboot of Resident Evil , he has one movie he's working on that has horror fans excited. Weapons is set to come to cinemas this August, and we have a disturbing new trailer for this mystery horror film. Check it out: Though the premise itself was interesting, everyone is excited by the top talent that the movie was able to gather including the likes of Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong, Julia Garner, and Alden Ehrenreich. We don't know what the movie is about exactly, but some are speculating that with the title Weapons and children being the focal point of the story; the film could be looking to say something about school shootings or violence being instilled in young children. Admittedly, Netflix's Adolesence kind of tackled the 'mysogny growing in young males' problem already, but it's going to be fascinating to see how Cregger is going to take on the issue with a horror lens. Then again, this is just speculation on the fans' part; and we don't know exactly what to expect with Weapons —which is what makes it so exciting. It also doesn't hurt that rumors were going around that Jordan Peele fired his agent because he wanted to direct this movie and Cregger got the job instead. Here's the official description for the movie: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. Watch out for Weapons when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 8.
