The Cloverfield 3 viral marketing has revealed a connection to 10 Cloverfield Lane, further hinting at the film’s place in the larger Cloverfield cinematic universe.
John Goodman played Howard Stambler, the abusive sociopath who held Michelle captive in his bunker, in 10 Cloverfield Lane.
It contains an audio file that appears to be a broadcast, much like the one heard by Michelle at the end of 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Despite the messy audio and fuzzy nature of the clip, a reference to Cloverfield Station can be clearly heard.
