  (#11) The Monster At The End Of ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ Is An Adult Version Of The One In ‘Cloverfield’

  It’s not the most subtle Easter egg, but the monster at the end of The Cloverfield Paradox appears to be a much larger version of the one in Cloverfield.

  The films are set 10 years apart, and during that time the monster has clearly been eating well.

  (#10) Mark Stambler From ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ Is Likely The Brother Of Howard From ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’

  The same Cloverfield Paradox news broadcast led by the soon-to-be-infected woman from 10 Cloverfield Lane also features a conspiracy theorist named Mark Stambler. He even wrote a book called The Cloverfield Paradox, warning about the dangers of messing with particle accelerators.

  That’s interesting as is, but there’s another character with the last name Stambler in the Cloververse. Howard Stambler, the bunker-dwelling man from 10 Cloverfield Lane.

  Maybe the woman tries finding Mark’s brother after the attacks because Mark told her about Howard’s hideout.

  (#7) The Radio In ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ References The First Film

  At the beginning of 10 Cloverfield Lane, Michelle hears on the radio about power outages along the East Coast. Presumably, these are the same outages seen in Cloverfield and The Cloverfield Paradox.

  Michelle happens to be far enough removed not to know what’s happening yet, and she’s in a car accident before she ever gets a chance to learn.

  (#1) The Very First Poster Hinted At The Monster’s Appearance

  Perhaps the biggest question stemming from the first Cloverfield’s marketing was simply, “What does the monster look like?” Trailers refused to show so much as a glimpse of the full creature, and the film doesn’t reveal the monster until the last few seconds.

  That may seem like a long time for a monster movie to hide its crazy creature, but as it turns out, the creators revealed it right from the start. The very first poster for Cloverfield included a weird shape in the smoke pouring from a damaged New York City. By duplicating and flipping the image, it becomes clear that the smoke is actually in the form of the final monster.

  (#9) Howard From ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ Worked For Tagruato

  Though it no longer exists, plucky fans once discovered a Tagruato website that listed Howard from 10 Cloverfield Lane as an employee of the month.

  His connection to the company that created the original monster possibly explains his desire to build a bunker to survive an impending apocalypse. That, and his creepy perversions.

  (#14) ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ May Have Caused The ‘Cloverfield’ Blackouts

  There’s a fan theory circulating about how the blackouts in the first Cloverfield occurred. Redditor /u/ DubC-Ent decided to play the first and third films together, and they realized the power outage in the original movie and the parallel dimension travel in The Cloverfield Paradox both happen around 18 minutes and 20 seconds into their respective films.

  JJ Abrams has since admitted this wasn’t intentional, but given the connections between the films, that doesn’t mean the events are entirely unrelated.
