Random Easter Eggs You Didn't Catch In 'Captain America: Civil War' (24 items)

(#12) The Futurist
At one point in Civil War, Hawkeye antagonistically refers to Tony Stark as a "futurist." Not only does Stark refer to himself the same way in the comics and in the film, but "The Futurist" is also the name of Robert Downey Jr.'s 2004 mom-rock album.
(#7) Sharon Carter's Speech Sounds Familiar
The speech that Sharon Carter gives about planting yourself like a tree at her aunt's funeral is pretty much word for word what Steve says to Spider-Man in the Civil War comics in order to convince him to leave Iron Man's crew.
(#21) Who Is Dr. Broussard?

In Civil War, there's a deceased scientist named Dr. Broussard, and since every other character that's in this scene is named something like "Dead Scientist 2," it's worth looking into the origin of the character's name. It turns out this character is a nod to Steve Broussard, a producer of multiple MCU films.
(#4) Spider-Man Steals Captain America's Shield In The Comics, Too
One of the biggest reveals from the final Civil War trailer was seeing Spider-Man steal Cap's shield with his webbing (that somehow took six movies to get right). The scene is a visual nod to a showdown between the wallcrawler and Captain America in the Civil War comic series.
(#3) The Cap/Iron Man Fight Directly Recreates Panels From The Comics
A lot of the shots from the the final slugfest between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are recreations of combat that was illustrated in the comic, often right down to the panel. So despite vast changes from the printed story of the same name, the Civil War filmmakers were dead-set on making sure fans knew that they'd at least looked at the comic.
(#18) Who Knew 117 Was Such An Important Number?

This Easter egg is one of those references that proves either fans are reading too much into this or that the writers are super nerds. SO! In Civil War, 117 countries signed the Sokovia Accords, and Captain America issue #117 is also the comic in which Falcon was introduced. The Illuminati probably figure into this somehow.
