Deadpool & Wolverine: 23 Easter Eggs & References Explained

9. The Greatest Showman

About a week before the movie's release, its soundtrack listing was leaked online, revealing that "The Greatest Show" from the Hugh Jackman-starring hit musical The Greatest Showman would be featured in the film.

And while many assumed that the song would be prominently featured in a fight scene or we'd perhaps even get a parodic song-and-dance number, it actually shows up so briefly you couldn't be blamed for missing it.

When Deadpool and Wolverine fight one another inside of a Honda Odyssey, they end up smashing into the car's radio, which briefly plays a number of songs including, yes, The Greatest Show, before transitioning into Grease's "You're the One That I Want."
