The most obvious easter egg in the “Deadpool and Wolverine” trailer is a subtle callback to the legendary “Secret Wars” comic, with a shot of Deadpool on his back being overshadowed by Logan as he bears his claws — which resembles Magneto’s helmet on the fifth cover from the miniseries. The TVA soldiers from “Loki” also make an appearance, and Aaron Stanford’s Pyro gets a brief close-up. You can even spy a giant, fallen 20th Century Fox logo in the background as Deadpool brandishes his guns, half-buried in the snow — a fourth wall break if ever there was one. And let’s not forget the possibility that Cassandra Nova might pop up in the film somehow — no actress has been attached to the character as of yet, but she appears to be Professor X’s twin in the commercial.
It’s a “Deadpool” movie, so in-jokes and references will fly fast and furious when “Deadpool and Wolverine” is finally released on July 26.
