The Upcoming Live-Action Minecraft Movie and Its Adorable Popcorn Buckets
In an exciting development for fans of the gaming world, the live-action adaptation of Minecraft has completed filming and is slated for release in April 2025. As anticipation builds for this cinematic venture, attention is turning towards the delightful popcorn buckets that will accompany the film. With previous designs like the stunning Wicked buckets and the buzzworthy NSFW Dune buckets, the Minecraft offerings are poised to capture hearts with their charm.
Recently unveiled by @DiscussingFilm on X, the new popcorn buckets have certainly made an impression. Among the standout designs is a classic TNT block, which hints at its potential role in the film’s narrative, particularly in scenes featuring Jack Black and the ensemble cast as they confront the zombified piglins from the Netherworld. The second design, however, is where things get particularly intriguing.

Drawing comparisons to the Jurassic World Gyrosphere buckets, the Minecraft snack container stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its multifunctionality. Once the popcorn is devoured, it can serve various purposes, unlike some other themed containers that may lack versatility.
The second design, featuring a chicken jockey, is particularly niche and caters to the die-hard fans of the game. For those unfamiliar, a chicken jockey occurs when a baby zombie spawns on a chicken, a rare event with about a 5% chance in gameplay. However, given the popularity of this design, it seems likely that audiences will see this quirky character make an appearance in the film.
While parents may find themselves purchasing these whimsical buckets for their eager children, the design itself is sure to spark conversations. Eating popcorn from the head of a zombie adds a playful twist to the movie-going experience, blending humor with nostalgia.
The trend of themed movie snack merchandise, often priced around , shows no signs of waning. While consumers are not obligated to indulge, the allure of unique collectibles continues to entice. For those who appreciate the novelty, investing in items like a retractable Captain America shield bucket could enhance the viewing experience across multiple films.
Mark your calendars for April 4, when the Minecraft Movie hits theaters. Fans will have the chance to enjoy the film while snacking from their creatively designed popcorn buckets, potentially encountering beloved elements like the chicken jockey along the way.
