Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld and feet are trending on social media thanks to an incredible Deadpool & Wolverine Easter egg.
The newDeadpool & Wolverinetrailer has certainly bolstered excitement for the upcoming film, finally showcasingHugh Jackman’s returning Wolverinein action.
It also has a slew of nods and cameos throughout, from finallyconfirming Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Novato a gruesome Giant Man body. But fans are losing their minds over one nod in particular: a store in the background of one shot called Liefeld’s Just Feet.
If you’re not a comic fan, it just feels like a random store, but it’s actually a laser-targeted nod to Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld.
Naturally, fans and comic creators alike on social media are having a field day with the nod, with “Liefeld’s Just Feet” trending right alongside “Old Man Logan” on Twitter/X. And while there are obviously many fans who are being overly mean about Liefeld’s art style after all these years, most are having a laugh and appreciating the nod for what it is.
“Look. I don’t like to s*** on Rob,” oneReddit user said, “But that right there is funny.”
