In the recently released trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, an Easter egg caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers. The reference, a store named “Liefeld’s Just Feet,” humorously nods to Liefeld’s history of drawing distinctively shaped feet in his comic book artwork. The joke did not go unnoticed by Liefeld himself, who took to Twitter to express his amusement and gratitude. “Being poked at by the premiere funny man/mega-star of his age is an absolute honor!” Liefeld exclaimed. This is not the first time Liefeld’s unique artistic style has been acknowledged in the Deadpool franchise. The first Deadpool film featured a nod to Liefeld during the opening credits, with his name, “Rob L.,” written on a coffee cup. Liefeld also made a brief cameo appearance in the 2016 movie, playing a character at Weasel’s shady mercenary bar. His character was simply called “Liefeld” in the Deadpool universe, as the name was written on the bar’s dead pool board. Deadpool 2 also included a reference to Liefeld’s feet-drawing abilities, with Wade Wilson quipping that Domino’s power of luck must have been created by someone who can’t draw feet. The latest Deadpool & Wolverine Easter egg continues the tradition of poking fun at Liefeld’s distinctive artwork. With the highly anticipated film slated for release in 2024, it remains to be seen whether Liefeld will make another cameo appearance or reprise his role from the first film, perhaps as a multiversal variant of his past character.
