Trojan Horse popcorn bucket debuts for The Odyssey

The Odyssey popcorn bucket has arrived, shaped like the Trojan Horse and designed to open and close in the middle to store popcorn. Fans had guessed either Odysseus's helmet or the Trojan Horse; the latter fits given that Christopher Nolan's film adapts both The Odyssey and The Iliad.

The movie's official Twitter account shared the Trojan Horse-shaped bucket, which the post notes keeps popcorn safe—or, jokingly, could hide an entire army behind enemy lines. Nolan directs from a screenplay he adapted himself, drawing mainly from the 2017 translation of Homer's epic by British-American classicist Emily Wilson; one writer said they'd love to see him smile for a photo while holding the bucket.

The cast includes Tom Holland as Telemachus, son of Matt Damon's Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, John Leguizamo as Eumaeus and Benny Safdie as Agamemnon. The Odyssey arrives July 17.
