"Thunderbolts*" Merchandise Round Up: Cinema Offerings, Action Figures, Collectibles, and Some Throwbacks
By the end of this week, another Marvel Cinematic Universe film will have rolled into theaters, this time with a handful of ex-villains and anti-heroes at the helm. A new chapter in Marvel’s incredible, ongoing comic-hero saga continues with the arrival of Thunderbolts* and wouldn’t you know it, that means that more movie tie-in merchandise is on the way too.

What’s Happening:
- When was the last time you went to a theater and there wasn’t some type of merchandise associated with the movie? I can’t remember either! While there’s a never-ending stream of themed products for every fandom under the sun, the novelty of these items is what makes them worth the purchase.
- Marvel’s Thunderbolts* is the next film to jump on the trend and there’s a wave of exciting releases that will be available exclusively at movie theater chains including:
- Alamo Drafhouse
- AMC
- Cinemark
- El Capitan
- Beyond the theaters, fans will be able to secure figures from Hasbro’s Marvel Legends lines that will be available in specialty 2-pack sets.
- As part of this complete breakfast, the Thunderbolts will be featured on a limited edition run of Wheaties boxes…and with a $20 price before shipping, this is definitely just a collectible. Still, you have to admit this is the breakfast of champions!
- Finally, because we couldn’t resist, we’re taking a look at “old merchandise" featuring the individual team members from when we first met them.
Cinema Offerings
AMC Theatres Revs Up with "Thunderbolts*" Popcorn Vessel
AMC Theatre has debuted a look at their upcoming collectible popcorn bucket for the new Marvel Studios release, Thunderbolts*. The popcorn “vessel", as many are calling their detailed contraptions, is in the shape of Red Guardian’s limousine from the film.
Alamo Drafthouse Reveals Exclusive "Thunderbolts*" Pint Glass
Tickets recently went on sale for Thunderbolts*, and with it, Alamo Drafhouse revealed it will be the next movie to receive a Limited Edition Pint Glass from the theater chain. As with many of the movie Pint Glasses released by Alamo Drafthouse, the art on the glass – featuring the entire Thunderbolts team from the film – is very retro-style, evoking the movie tie-in glasses available at fast food chains in the 1980s.
With tickets now on sale for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*, Disney’s El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles has revealed two nights of special Fan Events screenings on the film’s opening weekend.
Cinemark Theatres Introduces A Brand New Mask...for Popcorn
As the release date for Thunderbolts* gets closer, the list of collectible concession items grows from multiple theater chains. A few days ago, AMC Theatres revealed their popcorn “vessel" to be in the shape of the Red Guardian’s limousine. Cinemark is following the Red Guardian trend, by housing moviegoers popcorn in a version of his mask.
Regal Cinemas will have themed popcorn buckets, cups, Funko Pop! figures and so much more. Special exclusives debut for open night screenings, while most offerings will be available while supplies last.
