This image has been leaked online via The Garfield Movie News on X (formerly twitter). It claims to represent the popcorn bucket that will be available when ALIEN Romulus is released. News of such an item was leaked a few days ago and now we may have our very first glimpse of what this item may actually be.
Bucket leak or just a leaky bucket? We don’t know. Nothing public has been announced or released regarding this item nor any verification this leak is legitimate. Leaks of this nature can fall either side of the truth. Nonetheless, there’s some interesting features to be queried here. The head design appears to be inspired by the Protomorphs appearing in ALIEN Covenant. Maybe, the creatures in ALIEN Romulus share some design elements with that iteration of the Alien? We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m not even sure how this Alien head is supposed to function as a popcorn bucket. It does look like it straps onto the hand as earlier reports have claimed. As to its purpose as a bucket? Does the dome lift off the top of the head to reveal the popcorn inside? I hope to see more of this item as time passes. It’s a weird one. We like weird. Just not taking this item too seriously right now. After all, what’s there to get excited about a popcorn bucket?
