Spider-Man easter egg in Daredevil: Born Again reportedly revealed

Marvel recently released a trailer that showcases every superhero series coming to Disney+ in 2024 and 2025. There are many things to be excited about, such as the release of Your Friendly Neighborhood in January, or Deadpool & Wolverine coming to streaming on November 12. However, all eyes are on Matt Murdock and his first project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the Netflix series ended.

Daredevil: Born Again will be released on March 4, 2025, and it will follow Wilson Fisk as he becomes the Mayor of New York. With that in mind, a Devil's Reign adaption is all but confirmed. Chip Zdarsky's comic book arc follows the Kingpin of crime as he abuses his political power to outlaw all the vigilantes in the city, including Iron Man, Captain America, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and two different Spider-Men in the form of Miles Morales and Ben Reilly.

Even if Peter Parker himself didn't have a role in Devil's Reign, the live-action adaptation could change that. And while it seems highly unlikely that Tom Holland will cameo in Daredevil: Born Again, that's not to say there can be a Spider-Man nod here and there. Fortunately, it seems that will be exactly the case if a new rumor is anything to go by.

Wilson Fisk will reportedly reference Spider-Man in Daredevil: Born Again

According to insider MyTimeToShineHello, Wilson Fisk will give a mayoral acceptance speech in Daredevil Born Again that references the wall-crawler. The Kingpin of crime will encourage citizens not to rely on "heroes who dress as a spider, a devil, or a psycho vigilante with a skull symbol" to protect them. Naturally, he's talking about Spider-Man, Daredevil, and The Punisher.

Even if Tom Holland's Peter Parker doesn't appear (yet) in Daredevil: Born Again, it's nice to know there will be an easter egg referencing him. After all, a second season of the highly-anticipated show has been confirmed, and if the first one proves to be a major success then the possibilities for what's to come could be endless.

The Friendly Neighborhood Hero and the Man Without Fear are very close friends and allies on comic book pages. Fans have been eager to see that relationship develop on the big (or small) screen as well. While Spider-Man: No Way Home did feature a quick Matt Murdock cameo, the two heroes didn't meet with their costumes on which was a bit of a letdown. Furthermore, it was reported that Spider-Man 4 would initially focus on Peter and Matt teaming up to fight against the Kingpin and other street-level enemies such as Mr. Negative, Scorpion, and Hammerhead. However, it seems the wall-crawler's next stand-alone adventure will now be a multiversal movie instead.

It's unclear if we'll ever get a proper Daredevil and Spider-Man team-up in the MCU. However, this small easter egg might be the way to kick things off. Hey, at the very least it's better than nothing!
