The ‘Merc with a Mouth’ Deadpool played by Ryan Reynolds last year in the surprise super-hero R-rated hit made waves again earlier this week releasing a teaser for the sequel which is filled with a treasure trove of easter eggs that tease other Marvel related movies. This has fans looking into our collective crystal balls to predict the future of this Marvel franchise. I caught these eggs in the hilarious kick-ass teaser.
Note this has a lot of dirty words…
- As Deadpool runs past an old movie marquee that reads “LOGAN” yet another nod to the X-Men character that Reynolds has wanted to have redemptive battle with, Wolverine. When he’s not slashing through people in his own movies and comics, Wolverine is known by his real first name Logan. Reynolds really really wants to get Hugh Jackman to stick around for another run as Wolvey but his recent movie called ‘Logan’ is widely reported as his last. Read more about that here.
- Note as DP jumps into the Telephone booth to change into his costume (those are still around), you can see graffiti that references the arrival of ‘Nathan Summers’ which is the civilian name of Cable,a time-traveling mutant supersoldier who was teased for DP2 in the first movie’s post-credit scene. ComicBook.com has more on that here.
- When he FINALLY leaps out of the telephone booth, readying himself for battle, over DP’s shoulder you can see faded posters with the logo of the short-lived but much-loved sci-fi TV series ‘Firefly’. This has already lead to some speculation that one of the actors from that series like Nathan Fillon who went on to star in the detective drama ‘Castle’, could have a role in this DP2 film. Reynolds and Fillon also worked together on the sitcom ‘Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place’.
There is likely a lot more eggs to be cracked here, but I bet we’ll let the professional scoop those up.
Here are all the eggs in the first Deadpool film.
