From Secret Wars to Loki, here's every MCU Easter egg in the first Deadpool 3 trailer

The Deadpool 3 trailer is finally here – and we might as well start calling Wade Wilson the Easter bunny from now on, as the titular hero treated us to a buttload of Easter eggs in the first look at the hotly anticipated sequel.

The movie, which is officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine, is set to officially usher Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox way back in March 2019. So it's hardly surprising that its teaser features plenty of MCU nods to confirm the crossover and delight franchise fans, including glimpses of the Avengers and a hint of what's to come in the Multiverse Saga as well.

There, he's greeted by Matthew Macfadyen's mystery character Paradox, who suggests that the Regenerating Degenerate join the pantheon of heroes like Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America.

"I smell what you're stepping in, sensei," Wade replies enthusiastically. "Your little cinematic universe is about to change forever. I'm the messiah. I'm... Marvel Jesus."
