Ready Player One: Every Pop Culture Reference In The Trailer

9. Freddy Krueger

Ready Player One Freddy Krueger
Warner Bros

Finger knives, an old fedora and a stripy sweater. Yep, that's Freddy Krueger alright.

The Nightmare on Elm Street dream invader crops up around the 1:30 mark for a three-second cameo, just enough time to be disintegrated by a laser blast.

To Freddy's right, we can see another legend of geek culture as that man with a rocket launcher held aloft appears to be none other than FPS veteran Duke Nukem.
