The Galactus Popcorn Bucket Gets a Screen-Accurate Makeover

To make the popcorn bucket more realistic, Richter started by reshaping the head using clay to accurately reflect the actor Ineson’s unique facial features – particularly his nose and mouth, which were missing from the original, generic design. He then removed the bucket’s shiny, metallic finish with careful scrubbing. To make the helmet’s mechanical parts look older and more worn, he used black materials. Finally, he added more LED lights and painted the bucket a precise shade of purple to match how it appeared in the film.

Steven Richter created multiple Fantastic Four projects this year, including sculptures of each team member’s head. He cleverly used materials that represent their powers – Reed Richards is made of rubber bands, Johnny Storm from matches, the Thing from rocks, and Invisible Woman from clear plastic. Both his Fantastic Four and Galactus videos are impressive and do a great job of honoring Jack Kirby’s original designs. You can find more of Steven Richter’s amazing work on his YouTube channel.
