You can’t watch Deadpool & Wolverine and not realize you’re missing a lot. It’s a movie so packed with jokes and references that it would be impossible to see everything on a first or maybe even a second viewing. Director Shawn Levy has seen it many, many more times than that though, and in a new interview picks out a favorite Easter egg that’s so subtle and out-of-the-box, we completely missed it.

So often, sequels are disappointing. Time and time again, sequels rely on already existing excitement for a feature and do little to develop it further, anticipating that a return to a much beloved world or a reuniting with the characters will be enough to keep audiences happy. For example, it felt unlikely that a giant shark would strike again in Jaws II, let alone a third time in Jaws The Return - that great white was truly looking quite long in the razor sharp tooth by that point. The prevalence of bad sequels sets a precedent that you can't expect them to be anywhere near as good as the original, and therefore, when a sequel is made that develops the meaning and intention and provides a new angle, it is an unexpected experience that must be treasured.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry.
