Kravitz's history with Selina Kyle didn't start on this film's set. She actually voiced Catwoman for a cameo appearance back in 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, years before Reeves cast her in the live-action role.
The late Max von Sydow, known for The Exorcist and The Seventh Seal, lent his voice to Esbern, the elderly chronicler and last living member of the Blades who helps uncover Alduin's return.
The Call of the Dead zombies map didn't bother inventing new characters for its cast. Danny Trejo, Robert Englund, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Michael Rooker all show up playing themselves, complete with motion capture, turning the map into a strange little horror convention where the guest stars are also the ones fighting off the undead.
Back in 2004, there was a genuinely funny exploit where a freshly created account could obtain the Cape of Legends despite Legends' Quest being one of the hardest quests in the game at the time — a loophole players found almost immediately after the quest launched.
That gut-punch opening with Hawkeye's family turning to dust was actually written for Infinity War. It got pulled because the editors felt that film was already jumping between too many characters, so it got saved and used to kick off Endgame instead.
A movie poster for 'Dawn of the Wolf' shows up first in Sarah's bedroom and then keeps resurfacing in different variations throughout the game. It's a not-so-subtle jab at the Twilight saga, right down to the moody romantic tagline.
Scarlett Johansson was pregnant while shooting this, so the crew front-loaded a lot of her scenes early in production before it started to show and brought in three separate stunt doubles for the physical stuff later on. The doubles apparently looked so much like her that even her co-stars got confused, with Chris Evans admitting he'd sometimes start chatting to one of them mid-scene before realising it wasn't Scarlett at all.
There's a road sign on the map that points toward somewhere you can never actually reach, it just dead-ends at a low wall by the sea. Leftover phone call audio reveals Avery Carrington was originally going to send Tommy on a job to a Florida Keys stand-in called Gator Keys, an area that got cut before launch. Oddly enough, a Scarface game years later had players buying a seaplane to visit the real Florida Keys, which makes the abandoned idea feel almost prophetic.
James D'Arcy briefly pops up as Edwin Jarvis, and it's easy to miss why that's a big deal - he's actually reprising a role from the short-lived Agent Carter series. It was the first time a Marvel movie pulled a character over from one of their TV shows.
Keep an eye out on the maps Mission and Downturn and you'll spot a running joke aimed at series artist Jon Porter. On Mission there's graffiti above a teddy bear reading "Porter wuz here," while over on Downturn a subway station carries a movie poster for the fictional film "Porter Justice 8: Final Justice."
