Directed by Jake Schreier, this film sees various antiheroes team up to face an unimaginable and terrifying threat.

Here are all the Easter eggs and Marvel references in Thunderbolts* you might have missed. Be wary of potential spoilers ahead.

List of easter eggs and Marvel references in Thunderbolts*

The following easter eggs and Marvel references in Thunderbolts* include:

• Red Hulk – In one of Thunderbolts*’ earlier scenes, Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) mentions Thaddeus Ross’ Red Hulk (Harrison Ford) and his actions in Captain America: Brave New World. This happens while she is questioned by an impeachment committee about her involvement in O.X.E Group’s Sentry project.
• Mel’s necklace – Mel (Geraldine Viswanathan) was one of the film’s most mysterious characters prior to release. She thus became a topic of multiple discussions, including one speculating whether she was the MCU’s Melissa Gold/Songbird. Mel does not become Songbird in the film. However, she wears a necklace containing a songbird, subtly nodding to the comic book character.
• Captain America: The Winter Soldier callback: In the film, Yelena Belova, John Walker, and Ghost try to escape the room Val trapped them in to kill them. During the process, Walker smashes a switch using his shield and says, “On your left.” Ardent MCU fans will recognize this line from The Winter Soldier, where Steve Rogers says it to Sam Wilson during their first meeting while jogging.
• The Watchtower: Thunderbolts* finally reveals Val as the Avengers Tower’s mysterious buyer, and she has renamed it the Watchtower. This name is also a nod to Sentry’s comic book base of operations, which shares the same name.
• Thor: Tired of her constant orders, Sentry pins Val to the wall. He then recalls Val telling him how he was stronger than the entire Avengers team combined, including one god — an obvious Thor reference.
• Fantastic Four – Thunderbolts*’ post-credits scene sees Yelena and the team witness the arrival of the Fantastic Four’s jet in space. Additionally, The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ theme can be heard playing in the background.
