“Deadpool and Wolverine” Upholds Marvel Tradition with Shout Out Easter Eggs to Its Creators

Share

Fans of Marvel comics will be losing their minds Thursday picking out all the Easter eggs in “Deadpool and Wolverine.”

So here’s a little heads up about two of them, each part of Marvel tradition. There are shout outs to Deadpool and Wolvine’s creators.

First up to look for a is a store in the background called Liefeld’s Just Feet.The scene appears in the movie’s trailer, but a lot of people might not know what it means.

Rob Liefeld is the creator of Deadpool, the Marvel comic character. He also invented some other Marvel characters, but this is the one he’s most famous for. “Just Feet” is an inside joke among Deadpool fans — Liefeld is famous for not drawing feet well.

The other shout out, of course, is to Marvel creator Stan Lee. When he was alive, Lee made a nano second appearance in every one of the movies based on his characters. Even in death he’s never missed a step. Keep an eye out for Stan. His picture is preceded by a banner serving as an ad for “Stan Lee Steemer.”

In New York, we have been bombarded for decades by ads for Stanley Steemer, a home cleaning service. Very clever.
