Gladiator 2 is set to release on November 15, 2024, and fans of the franchise will be able to see their favorite characters on the big screen again in just over a month.

The helmet made its debut in the original 2000 Gladiator film on Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) and will likely return in the sequel flick. Fans, however, are more excited about getting a real-life version of MF DOOM ’s iconic mask, which is based off of the movie’s helmet.

It seems like every new blockbuster film has a custom popcorn bucket, and now Gladiator 2 has joined the ranks. The design is admittedly pretty cool, featuring a helmet design similar to Maximus' iconic mask in the original 2000s film, but hip-hop fans have been noticing a certain likeness to rap legend, MF DOOM.

Gladiator 2 is out next month, so it was only a matter of time before we caught a glimpse of a popcorn bucket that embodied all of the decadence that eventually led Rome to collapse. It’s a call back to the helmet Maximus Decimus Meridius wears in the first movie which will presumably have a cameo in the sequel.

I've sat out the "war of the popcorn buckets," but Gladiator 2's entry is one I'd actually be interested in owning.

The Gladiator 2 popcorn bucket and drinking cup were recently revealed, one month ahead of the Paul Mescal-starrer movie’s anticipated premiere. Accordingly, fans are wondering where to buy the Gladiator 2 popcorn bucket and drinking cup as well as the price of the popcorn bucket.
