Fans’ spidey senses are tingling after the release of promotional merchandise for the latest iteration of the franchise.
Ahead of the “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” release on July 31, Cinemark released photos of limited-edition merchandise, including a Spider-Man Combo Container. The popcorn bucket and drink cup features Spider-Man’s iconic hand gesture with his web-shooter coming from the wrist. But some fans think the translucent design looks less like webbing and more like a not-safe-for-work liquid.
“No one actually thought about the cup, I see,” one Instagram user commented on Cinemark’s post.
“What do I know? Never designed a popcorn bucket in my life, but maybe this is the conversation they wanted us to have,” TikTok user Rupert Baxter said in a recent video.
