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.

The Gladiator 2 popcorn bucket has arrived – and my first thought was, "Oh thank God, it's just a helmet." The popcorn bucket is shaped like the helmet/mask a fighter wears in the arena (specifically the one Maximus wears in the first film),

If the new popcorn bucket for Gladiator 2 looks familiar, that’s because it’s literally the inspiration behind a hip-hop legend’s mask.
