Secret

In films and video game culture, Easter eggs are small details, often hidden in plain sight, that you have to be a true fan to spot. These secret messages can appear as jokes, cameos, props, or even quotes.

It might be a reference to another film, a cryptic cameo, a character swap, or even a secret prop.

The concept was started by Atari software development director Steve Wright in the video game 'Adventure' (1979) and has since become a recurring trend for Marvel, Disney, and a wealth of other films.

So, click on to go on a cinematic Easter egg hunt.
