5 easter eggs
Hidden details
ReferenceXuxa on Steve's list
The little notebook where Steve writes down what he missed changes by country. In the Brazilian version, Xuxa is one of the tips. The last five lines are the same worldwide.
On the rooftop, Sitwell lists Project Insight's targets and drops the name Stephen Strange. Kevin Feige explained that Hydra flagged him for being a famous surgeon. That name will matter a lot later in the franchise.
Robert Redford was cast as a nod to '70s conspiracy thrillers like Three Days of the Condor, which he starred in. The Russos used those movies as a model.
