Insomniac Games has acknowledged a strange Easter Egg in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, hinting that it could mean Daredevil might show up in a future update or DLC. The three Spider-Man games that Insomniac has made so far are impressive open-world experiences, filled with interesting details and Easter Eggs. Daredevil is just one example. Considering how many Spider-Man allies and villains have yet to make an appearance, Daredevil may not have been a character fans would have expected. But Daredevil may be Insomniac's next pick.

Spider-Man 2 Cut a 'Venomized' Villain

Insomniac Games senior creative director Bryan Intihar says the team cut a 'Venomized' version of a villain from Spider-Man 2.

IGN recently took the opportunity to ask Insomniac creative director Bryan Intihar about the Spider-Man 2 Easter Egg in the latest Beyond podcast. Asked about the Nelson and Murdock sign, in the hopes of clarifying whether it was intentional or a mistake, Intihar responded in an eyebrow-raising fashion. He said, "That's a good question. Stay tuned. Good find though." In other words, Intihar is telling fans that their question might be answered in the future.

The original Insomniac Spider-Man game featured three DLC chapters, which included a variety of key characters. Black Cat, Hammerhead, Wraith, and Silver Sable all have key roles in the DLC. In other words, it's realistic to imagine Spider-Man 2 will also receive DLC introducing or expanding on other Marvel characters. That isn't guaranteed, however, as the Miles Morales game did not receive story DLC.

To be clear, there are no confirmed DLC plans for Spider-Man 2 at this point in time. There is a lot of speculation about DLC possibilities, though. One storyline that revolves around a cult that worships someone named The Flame could easily lead into Spider-Man 2 DLC. Without further confirmation from Insomniac, it's unfortunately all speculation.

The future is an open door for Insomniac regarding its next direction for the Spider-Man franchise. Spider-Man 2 is the fastest-selling game ever made by PlayStation. Spider-Man 2 DLC, a new mid-quel like Miles Morales, or jumping directly into developing Spider-Man 3 would each be uniquely successful. Odds are, Daredevil will fit into those plans one way or another.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is available now on PS5.
