While you won’t get any superpowers from the Scarab, you will look as dashing as the hero portrayed by Cobra Kai veteran Xolo Maridueña while wearing your blue backpack. After all, the alien is attached to Jaime’s spine. Take a look at the AMC Blue Beetle backpack popcorn vessel. (The AMC exclusive is the one on the left).

In addition to the backpack, fans will also get a large popcorn at that price. Blue Beetle hits theaters only on August 18, 2023, but eager fans can already buy the customed popcorn bucket and the tickets for the movie through AMC channels. Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, Blue Beetle is the origin story of how a college grad gains a powerful and unpredictable armored suit after inheriting an alien relic, the Scarab.
