How to Use This Easter Egg Guide Without Losing Your Mind
Some Easter eggs are loud (a cameo kicks down the door and introduces itself). Others are sneaky (a background prop whispers, “I used to be important.”). To keep this readable, the list is grouped by themeMCU tie-ins, Wolverine variants, TVA/Loki crumbs, The Void’s junkyard museum, legacy villains, the Deadpool Corps, and a couple of endgame winks.
80 “Deadpool & Wolverine” Easter Eggs Fans Missed
1–10: Jokes With Feelings (Yes, That’s Allowed)
- “No speaking lines, Buck.” Wade’s party banter includes a pointed callback to Buck’s over-talking moment from Deadpool 2a meta “shhh” disguised as a joke.
- The movie literally digs up Logan. The opening grave visit is the film’s way of saying, “Yes, we remember the tears. Now hold my katana.”
- Adamantium skeleton = canon stays canon. That grim reveal is a quiet promise that Logan still matterseven inside a movie that loves chaos.
- A dedication with real weight. The credits include “For Henry Delaney,” honoring the late son of Rob Delaney (who plays Peter). It’s a heartfelt note hidden inside a loud movie.
- John Candy’s “I Like Me” lives on. An “I Like Me” mug appears as a tributepart of Ryan Reynolds’ long-running nods to John Candy.
- “The Canadian Mounted” book tribute. Wade being near/with the book echoes the prop from Planes, Trains and Automobilesan Easter egg Reynolds has treated like a personal tradition.
- Comedy DNA from an ’80s classic. The bickering dynamic between the leads takes inspiration from the odd-couple friction of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
- Show-tune menace. Deadpool threatens Cassandra with the libretto of The Music Man, which is a very specific kind of violence.
- Musical needle-drop shade. Listen during the Honda Odyssey moment: the score sneaks in music tied to The Greatest Showmana wink at Hugh Jackman’s other blockbuster persona.
- Ryan Reynolds’ cinematic résumé gets roasted. The script tosses out nods to his rom-com era (and other projects), because Deadpool is nothing if not an equal-opportunity employer of jokes.
11–20: The MCU Handshake (Feat. Office Decor That Costs More Than Your Car)
- Happy Hogan as the “Avengers HR Department.” Wade’s Avengers dream runs through Happy, instantly tying the film to MCU legacy management.
- Tony Stark’s arc reactor display. The “proof Tony has a heart” arc reactor is visiblean artifact that’s basically MCU scripture.
- Iron Man helmet on display. Because if you’re going to turn nostalgia into interior design, go big and shiny.
- Prototype Cap shield from Iron Man 2. The office includes a throwback to the half-finished shield prop that once lived in Tony’s world.
- Pepper Potts’ Forbes cover. A quick background reminder that the MCU has always loved making its heroes weirdly corporate.
- A photo of Stark and Peter Parker… partially hidden. The picture is cleverly blocked by a toy Iron Man mask that once belonged to Petervisual storytelling with a side of “ow, my heart.”
- The “maybe Doc Ock?” tentacle. Behind Happy’s desk sits a coiled metal tentacle-like objectpossibly a souvenir hinting at multiverse chaos.
- Deadpool’s comic-bookui-style Avengers history gets echoed. Even if the movie plays it as a gag, the whole “let me in” angle parallels Deadpool’s comic runs where he actually joins Avengers teams.
- “Feige’s Famous” pizza box. A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it nod to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feigebecause Deadpool will clown the manager while also clocking in.
- Liefeld’s Just Feet storefront. A background location name-drops Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld’s infamous “feet avoidance” in comic art. Petty. Classic. Educational.
21–30: Wolverine Variants and Comic-Cover Flexing
- The yellow-and-blue suit finally shows up. The movie leans into classic Wolverine aesthetics that fans have begged for across decades of leather jackets.
- And yes, the mask/cowl moment matters. It’s a “we did the thing” payoff that feels like a comic panel coming to life.
- Short king Wolverine. A variant appears at comic-accurate height (5’3” energy), a playful correction of the “Hugh is tall” reality.
- The crucifixion shot recreates an iconic cover. Wolverine on an X above skulls mirrors the cover of The Uncanny X-Men #251.
- That cover ties back to Logan antagonists. The original story involves the Reavers/Donald Piercevillains closely associated with Logan lore.
- Old Man Logan vibes. A variant shows up with the grizzled, Western-flavored look from Old Man Logan mythology.
- The Hulk #340 homage. The film recreates the famous cover concept where Hulk imagery reflects in Wolverine’s clawspure comic-nerd candy.
- A blink of Hulk. There’s a quick Hulk appearance tied to that tribute, leaving fans arguing whether it’s new or repurposed footage (which is, honestly, very on-brand discourse).
- Patch shows up. The eyepatch variant nods to Logan’s “Patch” identityassociated with Madripoor, card tables, and noir vibes.
- The Cavillrine cameo goes full meta. Henry Cavill appears as a Wolverine variant, and the film jokes about “this studio treating him better”plus he slips in the viral arm “reload” motion from Mission: Impossible Fallout.
31–40: TVA, Loki, and Multiverse Office Supplies
- The TVA is the inciting bureaucracy. The Time Variance Authority shows up like a clipboard with god-level powerstraight out of Loki DNA.
- Mr. Paradox as a rogue agent. The film gives the TVA a “middle management villain” with dangerous ambitionsbecause paperwork is always the true enemy.
- The monitor wall of “possible futures.” The TVA screens act like a multiverse Instagram feed: doomscrolling, but with timelines.
- Thor crying while holding Deadpool. Deadpool glimpses a future where Thor weeps over himusing repurposed imagery from Thor: The Dark World, presented as a dangling mystery carrot.
- B-15 cameo connection. A familiar TVA face (B-15) appears, cementing that this isn’t “TVA-ish,” it’s TVA.
- Alioth returns. The Void’s apex nightmare from Loki shows up again as the multiverse’s living delete button.
- Narvas creatures in the background. The weird blue bird-like beings from Loki pop up as another “yes, we watched the show” confirmation.
- Comic-style Thor helmet in The Void. A classic Thor helmet is visible among the debrisold-school design language hiding in plain sight.
- Secret Empire/evil Cap shield nod. A Captain America shield associated with darker comic-era symbolism shows up in the wasteland clutter.
- Doctor Strange tech gets looted. Cassandra ends up with a sling ring (and later more Strange-y gear), implying The Void is where magical artifacts go to die… or be stolen.
41–55: The Void Is a Museum of Broken Franchises (and It’s Glorious)
- Wanda imagery from Mount Wundagore. A stone depiction echoes the Scarlet Witch visuals from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
- Hydra Cap’s shield is just… lying there. Nothing says “bad timeline” like finding fascist-adjacent symbolism in the sand.
- A Chitauri Leviathan corpse. A reminder of the Battle of New York eranow reduced to wasteland scenery.
- Asgard’s wreckage. Pieces tied to Asgard’s destruction in Thor: Ragnarok appear among the rubble.
- The 20th Century Fox logo cameo. The film literally tosses a Fox logo into The Void like a corporate tombstone. Subtle? No. Funny? Absolutely.
- An Avengers: Secret Wars comic on the ground. When Wade wakes in The Void, a Secret Wars comic is nearbyan unmistakable tease for future MCU multiverse storytelling.
- The Moon Knight pastry/cupcake truck. A familiar vehicle from Moon Knight sneaks into the junk pilebecause the Void collects everything.
- Red Skull’s car callback. A vehicle tied to Captain America: The First Avenger shows up as another blink-and-miss artifact.
- Deadpool’s chimichanga truck makes the cut. His own world’s iconography gets “archived” alongside MCU relicspride and humiliation in one shot.
- Thanos’ Black Order Q-ship is junked. The kind of set dressing that makes you pause and whisper, “That thing cost money.”
- A S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier wreck. A hulking Helicarrier sits like a dead whale of the superhero agevery “end of history,” but with more rivets.
- The Guardians’ ship is visible. Wreckage of the Guardians’ vessel appearsanother trophy for The Void’s scrapheap collection.
- The Fantasticar cameo. A nod to the Fantastic Four’s ride, sitting there like it missed the MCU group chat.
- Nakatomi Plaza appears. Yes, Die Hard’s iconic building shows up as a background landmarkbecause The Void is also where genre icons go to haunt you.
- The CN Tower cameo. Another recognizable landmark pops up, reinforcing that The Void is basically “Earth’s greatest hits” in ruin form.
56–70: Mutants, Misfits, and “Wait, They’re Here?!” Cameos
- Cassandra Nova gets her moment. As a comics-heavy character, her presence feels like Marvel saying, “Yes, we do read the weird issues.”
- Cassandra’s lair is a Giant-Man skull. A huge Ant-Man/Giant-Man remains becomes HQcomplete with jokes about Paul Rudd finally aging.
- Thanos’ chair is her throne. The big purple villain’s seat becomes interior decorating for the multiverse’s worst roommate.
- Doctor Strange’s cape is a trophy. The Cloak of Levitation (or a variant of it) shows up as part of her collected gear.
- And the sling ring is in play, too. Magical shortcuts become just another tool in the villain’s drawer of stolen plot devices.
- A Sentinel foot becomes a weapon. The heroes grabbing a Sentinel limb is a direct shout-out to the X-Men’s most iconic anti-mutant machines.
- Chris Evans isn’t who you think he is. The film baits “Avengers Assemble!” expectations, then swerves into “Flame On!”bringing back Johnny Storm/Human Torch energy.
- Pyro returns. Aaron Stanford reprises Pyro, tying straight back into the Fox X-Men era.
- Sabretooth returns. Tyler Mane’s Sabretooth shows up, a throwback to early X-Men movie casting history.

- Azazel joins the chaos. A quick nod to the teleporting demon-ish mutant from the Fox universe era.
- Juggernaut’s presence is felt. The character appears among the heavy hitters (and yes, the franchise has had more than one Juggernaut look across films).
- A Punisher deep cut: The Russian. A hulking bruiser recognizable to 2004-era Marvel movie watchers shows up as a surprise “wait, that guy!” moment.
- Blade is backand he says the thing. Wesley Snipes returns as Blade, and the movie nods to the classic line about “ice-skating uphill” like it’s sacred text.
71–78: The Deadpool Corps (a Red-Suited Where’s Waldo, But Violent)
- The Deadpool Corps is straight from the comics. The concept of endless Deadpool variants assembling as a squad is lifted from comic storylines built on multiverse chaos.
- Lady Deadpool leads the charge. The Corps is spearheaded by Lady Deadpooland her voice is provided by Blake Lively, making it a Reynolds family business.
- Nicepool’s “different actor” credit gag. Even though Ryan Reynolds plays him, the credits pull a meta prank by listing “Gordon Reynolds.”
- Cowboy Deadpool is voiced by Matthew McConaughey. If you heard a drawl and thought “Wait…,” congrats, your ears caught the Easter egg.
- Headpool is voiced by Nathan Fillion. The floating zombie head gets extra charm thanks to a voice cameo with Reynolds-adjacent history.
- Kidpool and Babypool are voiced by Reynolds’ kids. Inez and Olin Reynolds lend voicesbecause nothing says “family film” like weaponized variants.
- Dogpool is played by Peggy. Dogpool isn’t just a gagshe’s a scene-stealing presence with an actual dog performer behind the chaos.
- Welshpool links to Wrexhamand Rob McElhenney appears. Welshpool’s voice comes from Wrexham player Paul Mullin, and McElhenney shows up separately as a TVA agent for an extra meta cherry on top.
79–80: The Final Winks (AKA “Stay Until Your Legs Cramp” Energy)
- Stan Lee tribute hidden in plain sight. During the big Deadpool-variant fight on a bus, there’s an ad featuring Stan Leean understated memorial beat amid chaos.
- Shawarma gets the last laugh. The film closes with a shawarma reference that loops back to The Avengers post-Battle-of-New-York snack breakbecause the MCU loves a culinary callback.
Bonus: The Real “Easter Egg Experience” (How Fans Actually Catch These Things)
Here’s the honest truth: nobody catches all 80 Easter eggs on a first viewingunless you’re watching with three friends, subtitles on, and one person whose entire personality is “trivia.” The experience of hunting Deadpool & Wolverine Easter eggs is half the fun, because the movie is designed to reward different kinds of fans in different ways.
The theater experience is pure chaos (in a good way). Big cameos land like fireworksaudible gasps, laughter spikes, and that unmistakable ripple of “wait, did everyone else see that?” But theaters are also where you miss the sneakiest stuff: a logo half-buried in sand, a prop on a shelf, a vehicle wreck tucked behind a character’s shoulder. The movie weaponizes motion and noise so your eyes can’t settle, which is basically Deadpool’s love language.
The rewatch experience is where the movie turns into a game. Once you know the plot beats, your brain stops sprinting and starts noticing details. Fans tend to rewatch in “passes.” Pass one: story and big laughs. Pass two: cameos and character recognition. Pass three: background archaeologypausing on The Void like it’s a museum exhibit where everything is labeled “expensive.” That’s when you start spotting the random set dressing that screams, “Someone in production had a spreadsheet.”
Subtitles are the ultimate cheat code. Not because the dialogue is hard to hear (though… Deadpool), but because subtitles help you catch throwaway references to other films, character names that fly by, and quick punchlines that are easy to laugh over. If the movie is throwing five jokes per minute, subtitles are the net that catches the ones you dropped while you were still laughing at the previous one.
Watching with different kinds of fans changes what you “find.” MCU-only viewers catch the Avengers office props and TVA jargon. Fox-era X-Men loyalists light up when a familiar villain shows up, even for seconds. Comic readers catch cover recreations and variant identities. And then there’s always one person who recognizes a soundtrack cue and says, “That’s from Hugh Jackman’s musical era,” which is how you realize your friend is both correct and insufferable.
The best part is the “shared decoding.” Fans don’t just watch the moviethey compare notes afterward like it’s a group project. “Did you see the Fox logo?” “Was that the Fantasticar?” “I swear that was Nakatomi Plaza.” The movie is basically a social object: it creates a reason to talk, argue, rewatch, and text screenshots with circles drawn on them like you’re investigating a crime scene. (To be fair, Deadpool probably did commit a few crimes along the way.)
And yes, the emotional ones hit harder on rewatch. Once the shock-value cameos settle, smaller tributeslike nods to past films, legacy characters, or real-world memorialsstand out more. That’s the sneaky magic trick: a movie marketed on maximum chaos still leaves room for meaningful little details. It just hides them behind a guy in red spandex doing something medically inadvisable.
Conclusion
Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t just a superhero movieit’s a multiverse mixtape, a studio-history roast, and a love letter to everything messy about comic-book storytelling. Whether you came for MCU connections, Fox-era closure, Wolverine variants, or just the joy of spotting a random prop and yelling “I KNOW THAT THING,” the Easter eggs are the point.
