Shocking MCU Secrets Uncovered in Madame Web’s Scrapped Popcorn Bucket!

BBG News

Madame Web, an unusual character in Sony’s Spider-Man villain realm, was originally intended to introduce a fresh gang of web-based superheroes to combat crime in New York, alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. However, what fans received instead was an endless torrent of memes, iconic phrases, and a potentially cheesy yet beloved cult classic. Despite not being officially part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe due to the intricate rights agreement between Marvel Studios and Sony, a discarded popcorn bucket for the film hints at the close connection between the two cinematic worlds.

The popcorn bucket in question was showcased on the fittingly titled subreddit, r/popcornbuckets. The user who shared the images claims to be an ex-employee of a cinema, stating that the cinema received these buckets and cups, only to be instructed by the studio to return them later on. Contrary to the extravagant popcorn containers we see today, the yet-to-be-released Madame Web bucket is quite ordinary in shape, but it boasts an intriguing design. The side of the bucket features pages from The Daily Bugle, a well-known newspaper from the Spider-Man comic books. Most of the articles depict Madame Web’s brave deeds throughout New York. However, keen-eyed fans have spotted subtle references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe cleverly hidden within.

This popcorn container pays tribute to some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most prominent superheroes in a creative way. For instance, an article suggests that Doctor Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) has taken up performing in Las Vegas. Another headline imagines Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy as a late-night talk show host. It’s not just heroes who are making waves; Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock is said to have started a massage clinic. The container also mimics newspaper headlines, with one hinting at a Thanos cult — when Avengers: Infinity War was released, it seemed that some fans actually sympathized with Thanos’ views. Unfortunately, the reason for abandoning this design remains unknown. However, considering the intricate rights agreement between Marvel Studios and Sony regarding the Spider-Man intellectual property, it’s possible that featuring major MCU characters might have violated that contract.

What Next (If Anything) For ‘Madame Web’?

The movie titled “Madame Web,” featuring Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott, is generally regarded as one of the poorest superhero films in recent times. Its script often fell flat, the actors delivered their best given the poor dialogue, and the storyline was lacking, with many criticizing the quality of the re-recorded dialogue using ADR, which was less than satisfactory.

It seems extremely improbable that we’ll ever witness Madame Web on our screens again, contrary to Sony’s initial high hopes for the project. With whispers of Madame Web 2 already in the pipeline before its release, one can only imagine how much more foresight they could have had if Madame Web possessed her power of seeing the future. The sole possibility of Madame Web gracing our screens once more lies in those late-night screenings, where viewers can immerse themselves in the endless stream of cringe-worthy dialogue and internet memes spawned by the film.
