Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for release in cinemas across the globe in July. The popular Marvel franchise, helmed by Tom Holland as Spider-Man and his real-life wife Zendaya as MJ, is one of the more critically acclaimed Marvel properties, despite being the third live-action Spider-Man reboot since the start of the 21st century. To celebrate the film’s release, Cinemark theaters posted the Spider-Man themed cups and popcorn buckets it would be selling for moviegoers on Instagram. One item, a large red cup shaped like a hand with a wide white plastic “web” feature immediately caught the attention of fans who noted the cup’s design could be construed as something less wholesome than a spiderweb. “The industry has been intentionally making these popcorn buckets look dirty for publicity ever since the Dune 2 bucket,” one person wrote in response to the promo. Another put it plainly: “I don’t want a spiderman jizz tornado thank you.”
