20 Best Easter Eggs In 2017 Movies

7. The Wolverine Doll - Logan

One of the neatest things about Logan is how it isn't merely a stripped-back, post-apocalyptic vision of the X-Men universe, but it actually engages with the notion of the X-Men in pop-culture, to the point that Logan (Hugh Jackman) even mockingly picks up an X-Men comic that Laura (Dafne Keen) is fond of.

Things get disarmingly meta once again in the movie's climax, where a mortally-wounded Logan expires from his wound after sharing a tender moment with Laura as the other mutant children look on.

One of the kids, Bobby (Bryant Tardy), can be seen holding a Wolverine action figure, kitted out in the traditional blue-and-yellow attire of course. A deleted scene actually sets this scene up properly, by showing Bobby playing with his Wolverine and Sabretooth action figures before asking Logan if Sabretooth was real.
