Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve recently shared his reaction to the now-infamous sandworm popcorn bucket offered by AMC Theatres, which quickly became an internet sensation. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Villeneuve humorously remarked on the unique design, expressing surprise and amusement at the creation. The sandworm popcorn bucket, inspired by the upcoming film, has garnered attention for its distinctive appearance.
AMC Theatres announced the availability of the sandworm popcorn bucket starting February 29, sparking a mix of excitement and controversy among fans. The design, resembling a sandworm from the Dune universe, features a mouth-like opening for popcorn retrieval, leading to some online speculation and comparisons.
While the intention behind the design was likely not to evoke any inappropriate associations, some social media users have humorously pointed out the resemblance to other objects, including a sex toy. Despite the playful reactions online, AMC Theatres has not officially responded to the feedback surrounding the sandworm popcorn bucket.
As the buzz around the unique popcorn topper continues, Dune: Part Two is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on March 1. Additionally, special screenings featuring exclusive footage from the highly anticipated film will be available to audiences in the lead-up to its official release.
