Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningis set to be the biggest, most explosive Mission: Impossible yet, and that’s a high bar to clear. The second half toDead Reckoning(with this originally called Dead Reckoning - Part Two), the upcoming movie will be the finale to the entire franchise. That doesn’t always mean much these days, but with M: I built on Tom Cruise’s back (and his 62 year old knees), this really could be the last outing for Ethan Hunt.
As the ultimate popcorn blockbuster, you’ll naturally want some popcorn while you trust Ethan Hunt one. Last. Time. But you might be out of luck. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning comes with a collectible popcorn bucket, but you’ll need to crack it open first.
Don’t Drop The Mission: Impossible Popcorn Bucket Key
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’s popcorn bucket is delivered to you locked, just like the various bombs and other devices Hunt deals with across the series. You will also recieve two halves of a key, just like Hunt is searching for in The Final Reckoning, and must slot them together to open the bucket up.
Naturally, this is not rocket science. These are two plastic trinkets that press together easily, and can be turned to open the bucket up. Fun is fun and all, but people are buying popcorn buckets because they want to eat some popcorn, not so they can figure out a mini escape room in the dark while Tom Cruise hangs off the side of a plane.
However, it’s not without its challenges. If you drop the key, or even just half of it, on the cinema floor, you’ll be fumbling around in the dark trying to grasp it. Considering popcorn is a finger food, you’re then going to be using hands that have just been on the floor to shovel popped kernels into your mouth. Not great.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is in cinemas May 21, where it is expected to be part of the biggest Memorial Day weekend ever asLilo & Stitcharrives in cinemas alongside it. At two hours 51 minutes, it’s the longest Mission: Impossible yet, so remember to bring your popcorn. Oh, and remember to bring your keys, too.
