Deadpool 2 (2018)
Trivia: A promotional poster for the PG-13 version of this film (Once Upon a Deadpool) was released as a parody of a painting commissioned by the LDS church called "The Second Coming." This was reportedly done in response to the state of Utah - known for the LDS church having unconstitutional influence over its state laws - fining a theater that served alcohol for showing the first film, alleging that it violated state liquor laws by serving alcohol while showing nudity or simulated sex.

Deadpool (2016)
Trivia: Ryan Reynolds donated $5,000 to the defense fund of a theater in Salt Lake City that was fined for showing this movie. The theater in question is known for serving beer, and Utah state liquor laws prohibit the showing of nudity or simulated sex in places that serve alcohol. A U.S. district judge ruled that the law violated the theater's freedom of speech and ordered the state to pay them $474,000. In response to the fine, Reynolds tweeted "Thank god, they've found a way to legislate fun."

Morbius (2022)
Trivia: When the Daily Bugle is shown with the main article of Morbius being apprehended for murder, in the top right corner of the paper you can read "Black Cat: Friend or Foe?" This is a reference to the antihero and frequent Spider-Man ally Black Cat. Sony had previously attempted to develop a movie featuring Black Cat and Silver Sable, which would have been called "Silver and Black." This could be Sony planting the seeds of bringing the character to screen, or it may just be an Easter egg.

Eternals (2021)
Trivia: After 13 years and 26 films, this is the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to receive a "rotten" rating from Rotten Tomatoes upon release. This is somewhat ironic given that there were reports that Marvel considered it the best film they had made yet, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige felt it could be a nominee for Best Picture at the Oscars, particularly as its director ChloƩ Zhao had recently won the Best Director Oscar for Nomadland, which also won Best Picture.

Trivia: Chris Potter, who voiced Gambit in the animated series, was brought in to audition for the role of Cyclops. By his own admission, he didn't want to play the character, and wanted to hold out and play Gambit in a live action role, feeling that Gambit would finally appear in the next installment following the release of every film. Potter for his part admitted he was too old to play the character by the time he was finally adapted to live action in 2009.

Impractical Jokers (2011)
Trivia: While filming a prank in which each of the four Jokers were working as cashiers at a grocery store, during Sal's turn, he was instructed to take a picture of a customer's credit card with his phone. This led to the customer calling the police on them. It turns out she had her identity stolen a couple weeks prior. According to Murr, the police took the woman out of the store to defuse the situation, and then came back in the store and told them that they are fans of the show.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Trivia: Will Friedle originally lost the role of Eric to another actor. The actor - whom Friedle has identified as being named either Harry Branichee or Harry Branshee - was similar in height to Ben Savage at the time. The creators of the show realised this would be problematic when Ben Savage started to grow taller, eventually being taller than his onscreen older brother, so they went with Friedle.
