Head to Varrock Palace's library and search the bookshelf in the far north-east corner. Every title on there turns out to be a joke spin on a real-world book, sitting there quietly for anyone who bothers to actually read the shelves instead of just walking past them.
Viggo Mortensen was on the fence about taking the role, and it was reportedly his eleven-year-old son Henry who talked him into signing on. Good call, kid.
Right near the end of the film there's a map behind Nick Fury marking various locations of interest to SHIELD, and one of the pins sits squarely in the region that would later be revealed as Wakanda.

Despite being nominated for Best Picture, The Two Towers is the only film in the trilogy that missed out on Best Director and Best Score nominations, and it walked away with just two wins, for Sound Editing and Visual Effects.
Tucked near Dalaran's Antonidas Memorial is an ethereal vendor called Xur'ios, who deals exclusively in Curious Coins. It's a direct homage to Destiny's Xur, right down to selling items named after that game's gear, like 'Gjallar's Horn' and 'Krota's Shield.'
