Marvel fans think they've spotted a reference to Spider-Man 2 in a new Deadpool and Wolverine clip, with some wondering if this means that a Tobey Maguire cameo is on the horizon.
In a brand new (and very brief) Deadpool & Wolverine clip taken from the IMAX exclusive trailer that has yet to hit the internet, Wade and Logan can be seen sitting in a booth at a diner. Behind them is a menu board that reads, "Joe's Famous Chilli Bowl." Some eagle-eyed viewers spotted the name and believe it's a direct reference to Joe's Pizza, the pizza place where Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker works in Spider-Man 2.
While this might seem like a reach...it's not the first time a Deadpool trailer has referenced Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. In the most recent teaser, we see Wade and Logan face off using the same exact fight choreography from a scene in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man that sees a freshly-bitten Peter Parker dodge Flash Thompson's punches with superhuman reflexes.

Now, how would a cameo be possible if Deadpool is from Earth-616 (the home base for every Marvel movie) and Maguire's Spidey is from Earth-96283? Well, we know for sure that Deadpool 3 deals with the multiverse as well as the TVA (Time Variance Authority) from Loki – which we can expect many a superhero cameo. Anything is possible.
