“Are you the Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket or are you just happy to see me?”
We know that Fantastic Four: First Steps is going to be getting a big Galactus popcorn bucket, but there is also another bucket based on the main four members, and the reveal for the Mr. Fantastic popcorn bucket is getting the same reactions as the one from Dune not too long ago.

While the bucket is obviously showing off Mr. Fantastic’s powers by having him stretch his arm around the bucket, the fact that his left arm isn’t showing and the bucket seems to be directly connected to his crotch immediately prompted the rest of Twitter to make jokes about how Reed is actually using his ‘third arm’ to hold the bucket.

If anything, it does feel like Mr. Fantastic is a very tricky character to market nowadays since his powers always lead to someone somehow finding a way to make a joke about how he can stretch his penis. Remember when Reed Richards was released for Marvel Rivals earlier this year?

This isn’t the edit, but you get the point.
Well, the joke has been made multiple times, even in the official comics; so I guess anyone who is trying to market Mr. Fantastic should be well aware what to expect when you have a guy with stretchy powers. Good thing DC’s Plastic Man isn’t as popular because we wouldn’t be hearing the end of it.
Catch Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes to cinemas on July 25.
