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.
I've previously discussed my disturbed obsession with the weird popcorn bucket design trend, but thankfully the Gladiator 2 design is a lot less visually violating than other recent examples (I'm looking at you Dune 2). I can't say I've ever seen a popcorn bucket design that doubles up as an accidental homage to a music legend, so on the chance that you're a fan of Gladiator and DOOM, this one's for you.
