20 Brilliantly Obscure Comic Book Movie Easter Eggs You Didn't Notice

7. The Milano (Guardians Of The Galaxy)

When James Gunn - Guardians of the Galaxy's acclaimed director - was a younger man, he had a huge crush on Alyssa Milano. The sexy star of €œWho€™s the Boss?€, €œMelrose Place€, €œCharmed€ and €œMistresses€, who is two years Milano€™s senior, was the source of his attraction when he was a teenager and, as a result, he gave the New York Beauty a cute little nod in his Marvel space epic earlier this year. Gunn gave Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord€™s ship the name €œthe Milano€, which probably went over most viewer's heads but, when you realise what the reason for that name is, it really does emphasise the kind of creative fun that Gunn likes to have when he€™s making his movies and emphasises the freedom and control directors have in movies.
