Deadpool 2 Trailer: Everything You Missed

16. Wade Marks His Property

The hilarious center-piece of the trailer sees Deadpool acting out a battle between himself and Cable using action figures. But that's not all: the entire thing is styled as a parody of Toy Story, with Wade's figurine kitted out in Woody's cowboy attire, as he tells his adversary, "Reach for the sky!", while surrounded by the series' customary army men toys.

The best nod to the classic animated franchise, however, comes when Deadpool drops the toys to reveal that they're both marked with "Wade" on the undersides of their feet.

This is of course a reference to Woody's owner Andy doing the same thing in Toy Story. For extra amusement, the letter E in Wade is written backwards, just as a young Andy wrote the letter N backwards in his own name. Classic.
