Actor Reunion
Two or more performers with a famous shared history cast together again, and the film winking about it — a line of dialogue, a mirrored blocking choice, a prop from the earlier production. It only counts as an easter egg when the film acknowledges the history rather than merely benefiting from it, and the acknowledgement is usually a single beat that plays as ordinary to anyone who does not know.
