In an incredibly unexpected move, Marvel director Destin Daniel Cretton and writer Andrew Guest have effectively solidified Coronation Street - the iconic British soap set in Greater Manchester - as official canon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The flagship ITV series recently shared a landmark episode with fellow soap juggernaut Emmerdale called Corriedale, revolving around the fallout of a high-stakes multi-vehicle pile-up.
The explosive event proved incredibly successful, with a record of nearly 5 million viewers tuning in live. The hour-long special marked the biggest TV peak audience for a soap since 2022, with many fans likening the crossover to their own juggernaut Avengers-esque event.
As Trevor welcomes Simon into his home, the up-and-coming actor admires the various scripts, props and tapes adorning the veteran actor’s room - before stopping at one tape in particular.
"Well done!" Trevor replies, before acting out an exchange in the iconic Rovers Return, ordering "a pint of bitter, please, and one for my friend".
The surprise exchange in Wonder Man proved an amusing, 'I understood that reference' moment for many British viewers, with several fans taking to social media to share their delight at the first official confirmation of the soap in the MCU.
"Ken Barlow vs Thanos when" another jokingly questioned.
Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time that the soap has been referenced by a blockbuster superhero franchise. The promotional campaign for James Gunn’s Superman recently nodded to the iconic "London?!" meme.
So, which of your favourite characters from Corrie’s cobbles would you like to see make a cameo in the MCU?
Wonder Man is now streaming on Disney+.
