2025’s “Superman” movie has unveiled another exclusive popcorn bucket – this time showcasing a charming sidekick. The upcoming “Superman” film, which is the first live-action production under James Gunn and Peter Safran in their new DCU, brings to life many beloved characters from DC comics. Among these familiar faces, fans are excitedly anticipating the introduction of Krypto, Superman’s cherished pet and super dog.
The newest popcorn container, linked to Superman, is currently being advertised by cinema chains as part of a promotional campaign. This new container, exclusive to Cinemark theatres, showcases a miniature model of Superman’s faithful dog companion, Krypto, biting onto a bag of popcorn. The design of Krypto in this bucket is identical to his appearance in the movie and he is dressed in his red cape and yellow collar. In addition to his super strength and speed, the latest popcorn bucket design gives Krypto the ability to carry snacks superbly.
Additionally, Cinemark has unveiled various merchandise collaborations that can be purchased at their theaters. One notable item is another Krypto-themed popcorn bucket designed to resemble a water bowl, featuring a Superman logo around its edge and an image of Krypto on the other side.
Alongside the regular theatre screenings, the cinema chain is offering various types of popcorn buckets, some showcasing David Corenswet as Superman and others featuring his superhero dog companion. Additionally, unique Superman collectible cups are up for grabs at Cinemark, with one cup replicating Superman’s Fortress of Solitude using a 3D design.
To wrap it up, I’m thrilled to share that Cinemark is offering an array of delightful toys! Among them is a snuggly Krypto plushie perfect for cuddling, which pairs wonderfully with a soft Superman toy. To get a glimpse of the entire collection, just scroll down below.
The newly unveiled Superman merchandise, specifically the popcorn buckets, is contributing to the surge in demand for cinema-themed tie-in containers that have become quite trendy recently. Yet, they will need to measure up against an equally determined collection of popcorn containers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to launch in cinemas a few weeks following Superman’s premiere on July 11.
On a mission to harmonize his extraterrestrial and human roots, the renowned Superman embarks on a journey alongside his trusted super-alien friend and companion, Krypto. Accompanying him are his girlfriend, Lois Lane (portrayed by Rachel Brosnahan), his parents Jonathan and Martha Kent (played by Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell), and his adversary Lex Luthor (depicted by Nicholas Hoult).
What to Expect From Krypto on the Big Screen
Krypto, who was previously the main character in DC’s animated movie “DC League of Super-Pets” and voiced by Dwayne Johnson, is set to make his live-action, big-screen debut in Superman>.
Fans of DC comics might recognize Krypto, Superman’s dog who hails from the same planet as him, Krypton. After Krypton was destroyed, Krypto journeyed with Kal-El (Superman) and possesses an alien DNA that grants him powers akin to Superman’s. His abilities such as super strength, speed, and flight have been shown in Superman‘s trailers, where he assists his master during challenging situations.
James Gunn made a personal choice to feature Krypto in the upcoming movie, as he modeled the character after his real-life dog, Ozu. During the time he was writing Superman, Gunn adopted Ozu, and he stated that “Krypto entered the script and altered the story’s shape just as Ozu transformed my life.” Despite the large ensemble of captivating characters in Superman, Krypto is expected to capture both scenes and hearts when the movie premieres this summer.
