Naturally, as soon as the new trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Hawkeye mini-series on Disney+ was released, fans began to dig through the trailer, frame by frame, looking for Easter Eggs and connections to either the Marvel comic book universe or the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, one of the Easter Eggs in the trailer suggest a connection to a much larger Multiverse well beyond the MCU, the New York City film and TV Multiverse!

You see, in California, there are special license plates made for use in television productions. All license plates in the state that begin with Q are reserved for television shows so that the programs don't have to risk violating the privacy of any citizen by having their license plate prominently featured on TV. New York, though, has no such law and as such, it is the responsibility of the production companies to make sure that the license plates are "clean." The way that this is typically done is by keeping a number of plates that are shared by various different productions in New York City (and the surrounding areas).

Therefore, in Hawkeye, when Kate and Clint are being pursued by the Tracksuit Draculas in a highspeed car chase, the license plate on the villains' car, DQF-8093, is a well-used license plate in the world of New York City film and TV productions.

It has popped up in shows like Person of Interest, Mr. Robot and Rescue Me, as well as in Blindspot...

This is very similar to how phone companies in the United States used to reserve 555 as a central office code (the three digits in a phone number following the area code) for fictional use. The problem is that there has been so much demand for phone numbers over the years (especially with the proliferation of cellular phones) that nowadays only numbers 555-0100 through 555-0199 are technically still reserved for fictional use (this is a bit of an issue, as famous old fictional numbers, like Jim Rockford's 555-2368 on the hit 1970s TV series, The Rockford Files, are now technically open to be claimed by real people). That is only in the United States, though, which has also caused problems in the past when people use 555 numbers in other countries.

It is only natural that people would think to look at the license plates in Hawkeye for Easter Eggs, as past MCU films have intentionally used license plates for the purpose of Easter Eggs. Jon Watts, in particular, is well known for his use of license plates for hidden references (something he has been doing since his first film, 2015's Cop Car). In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the license plate of a car references the comic book debut of the Vulture (the villain in the film) in Amazing Spider-Man #2, released in May of 1963, so the license plate reads SM2-0563.

In Spider-Man: Far From Home, when Nick Fury (or someone we think is Nick Fury) picks up Peter Parker, his license plate is a reference to Marvel Team-Up #83 from July 1979, so the license plate reads MTU-83779.

Finally, later in that same film, when Peter and MJ are about to have their first kiss, there is a license plate on an upside down car referencing the actual first kiss between Peter and Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man #143. So the license plate reads TASM 143.

So the next time a car drives by in an MCU film or TV show, be sure to check it out, it might lead to something cool.

Hawkeye is scheduled to premiere on November 24 on Disney+ and is slated to run for six episodes.
