Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Breakdown: EVERY Hidden Detail

11. Liefeld's Just Feet

Easily the single best inside baseball gag in the entire trailer is visible when Deadpool and Wolverine are slow-mo walking along the street, and a storefront behind them starts sparking.

That store's name? "Liefeld's Feet," a reference to Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld. No, Liefeld doesn't have a thing for feet - quite the opposite in fact, as he's himself admitted that he can't draw feet, and so generally poses and stages scenes to avoid showing characters' lower appendages.

This has been a long-running gag in the comic book sphere, with Deadpool 2 even including a one-liner about the man's artistic Achilles' heel. 

Given Liefeld's general good humour about these ribbings, it's little surprise that he swiftly expressed his amusement about the Easter egg on Twitter.
