The continued hunt forDeadpool and Wolverine Easter eggsrecently led one fan to spot a reference toMaster and Commander’s HMS Surpriselurking in the background of the Void.
As it turns out, that Easter egg wasn’t an Easter egg at all – and it even fooled director Shawn Levy.
However, Levy later replied via email and confirmed that the detail “was a generic ship from their library.”
Levy continued, “Then we changed its color and made custom sails. So it’s a pure [Deadpool and Wolverine] ship.”
Despite one ship sailing, another iconic vessel almost made it into the movie. As star Ryan Reynolds revealed, “Also, the Titanic was one option, as well, and then it changed a few times.”
“That’s right. We were going to have the Titanic in it,” Levy said. “There are some Fox-centric Easter eggs. In fact, I think Nakatomi Tower is in there, as well as the CN Tower, weirdly. So, Canada wins!”
