As soon as Marvel announced their Daredevil Netflix series and then announced that they’d made a deal with Sony allowing Spider-Man to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe many people made the logical assumption that the two heroes would appear alongside each other at some point.

That’s because in the comic books they are long-time allies. They are both ‘street-level’ heroes and now they have a shared established mega-villain in the Kingpin. It only seems like a matter of time until Spider-Man makes an appearance in the Daredevil series, or Daredevil appears in a Spider-Man film.

We have already seen the man that created both Spider-Man and Daredevil appear in the series, with comic book legend and Marvel icon Stan Lee making a brief cameo in the latter half of the season, albeit as a photograph, so why not Spider-Man?

This sentence usually comes accompanied by a Morpheus from the Matrix meme but oh well. What if I told you that Marvel had not only referenced their newest superhero for the first time on-screen but that a Spider-Man Easter-egg can actually be seen on-screen in Daredevil?

Don’t believe me? Just take a look at this still image of Ben Urich in his house.

Unbelievably some keen-eyed viewers thought they’d seen Spider-Man in the newspaper clipping highlighted by the red square. Admittedly at this stage it doesn’t look like much but take a look at the zoomed-in version of the same photo.

It’s still not a great quality picture but that definitely appears to be the red mask and white eyes of an iconic Spider-Man mask on the left hand side of the photo on the newspaper clipping.

Obviously seeing Spider-Man’s mask is a tiny thing and absolutely doesn’t compare to seeing somebody actually webbing around the city but for us Spider-Fans it’s a start, it’s something. And it possibly paves the way for a Spider-Man/Daredevil team-up in the future and what’s bad about that?
