When Brie Larson took to social media yesterday with an image from next year’s Captain Marvel, all the actress wanted to do was spread the message to her followers to vote in the midterm elections, but fans keep finding new discoveries in the image.
This latest Easter Egg, for example, is so niche-y that you have to wonder how a Reddit user managed to pick up on it less that 24 hours after the photo was shared. On the payphone observable on the picture, it seems that there’s a number that also featured in the 2000s Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Given the shared brand behind these two properties, this may not even be a coincidence, but this find also comes with a twist.
You see, back in the 2000s, when the series was still on air, calling that number put you onto an automated message from ABC which informed you that this fictional number was simply used for motion picture and television productions. Since then, however, these digits have reportedly been transferred to a new owner that you probably don’t want the kids to be calling – that being, a sex talk hotline. Well, what else would you expect from a number that’s written next to a public payphone?
It’ll be interesting to see if this rather un-Disney Easter Egg makes it into the final film, but it’s not the most significant find that people have observed from this same image. From the look of things, the various posters on either side of Carol Danvers give a strong indication that the pic will be taking place in 1991, leading some fans to speculate that the deaths of Howard and Maria Stark might somehow get a mention.
That’s just a theory for now, but we’ll find out what role Captain Marvel plays in MCU history when the film hits theaters on March 8th, 2019.
