Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Stephen Strange name-drop

During his interrogation, Jasper Sitwell lists potential threats to Hydra targeted by Zola's algorithm, including 'Stephen Strange', teasing Doctor Strange's arrival in the MCU years before his solo film.

Crossbones' origins

S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Brock Rumlow is shown being pulled from the Triskelion rubble with severe burns and crossed straps across his chest, foreshadowing his transformation into the villain Crossbones.

Zola's robotic screen face

When Arnim Zola's consciousness is revealed to be preserved inside a massive 1970s supercomputer, his face appears on a central monitor. This is a clever, grounded adaptation of his comic book counterpart, who is a robot with a screen on its chest.

WarGames reference

When Black Widow boots up the secret underground computer, she says, 'Shall we play a game?' and Cap replies, 'Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?'—a direct reference to the 1983 sci-fi thriller WarGames.
