If you’re at a Regal Cinemas in June and hear someone scream “I have the power!” at the top of their lungs, don’t get scared. They’re just thirsty.
The major cinema chain recently revealed its line of popcorn buckets for the upcoming Masters of the Universe, and while you can snack out of Castle Grayskull or Skeletor’s Throne, our favorite is the Power Sword. “How do you eat popcorn out of a sword?” you ask. Is it small, and do you use it like a fork? No. The Power Sword is no mere popcorn bucket. It’s a “drink vessel.” Here’s a photo.
Now, to be clear, it’s not immediately obvious how this works. Are you supposed to fill the Power Sword with a beverage? Will the Regal employee do that for you? As you see above, it says it comes with a large drink, so maybe you just… get a sword with a drink? Or maybe the drink goes into the bottom half, and you take off the blade? Here’s the answer.

And while we’re sure Masters of the Universe isn’t the first movie to make a themed “drink vessel,” a la a popcorn bucket, has there been a better one? We doubt it. And it doesn’t hurt that there are also some very, very cool popcorn buckets themed for the film, too. Check these out.
The throne even lights up! Hopefully, it comes with those figures too.
We’ll have much more on Masters of the Universe, sans its popcorn buckets, as we get closer to its June 5 release. Do you think the Travis Knight film has the potential to be a summer breakout? Let us know below.
