Some dashes of hot sauce can be nice. Doesn’t usually make it too soggy as long as you’re not to wild in the streets with it.
Popcorn is super flexible, if there’s a flavor you like there’s a good chance you’ll like it on popcorn… just have to watch out for texture. You want to add a little moisture but not make it wet, beyond that… you are the artist and the popcorn is your palette 🎨
I'm not a big popcorn guy, but have a garlic/salt/pepper mix that I put on almost everything I can. I bet it'd be good on popcorn.
You could probably go with garlic salt though for something similar, if you don't like pepper. Maybe some parmesian, since that's salty too.

With an spice grinder it becomes a lot easier:
Cheddar cheese powder. The neon orange stuff that stains your fingers.
I'm a big fan of the Cheesy Seasoning Blend at Trader Joe's!
I top my popcorn with Lawry's garlic salt. Tastes great on actual corn too.
Greek seasoning or Zatarans Blackened Seasoning are good bets, more spice than salt
This might be the only food that is sweeter outside of the US, well, besides kettle corn.
When I eat it enough to get tired of butter and salt, I spritz on evoo or tamari/soy sauce. For spice blends, I really like the ones from Penzey’s, especially Sunny Spain, or something else that amounts to lemon pepper.
I always like to mix in some butter and sriracha
To get the movie theatre experience you can use oil and butter-salt (the yellow powder they use). Try peanut oil for cooking in a pot, then butter-salt, and top with drizzle of real melted butter. Obviously not a healthy choice but it’s great.
The movie theaters use a product called flavacol. You can buy it online is you want “authentic” movie theater popcorn.
Consider olive oil instead of butter just in general. We just do olive oil and salt but love some of the other ideas here.
I just use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, and then I melt some butter into Orville Reddenbachers Popping and Topping Oil (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Orville-Redenbacher-s-Popping-Topping-Buttery-Popcorn-Oil-and-Seasoning-16-oz/10312412). I also pop the popcorn in it. That makes dang good popcorn imho.
I have never tried this myself, but I am curious to know how well furikake works with popcorn.
Can confirm is excellent.
