SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director Teases Unfound Easter Egg, and It’s a Deep Cut From His YouTube Days
It turns out there’s still a hidden Easter egg in Spider-Man: No Way Home that no one has uncovered yet—and it’s got nothing to do with Marvel lore. According to director Jon Watts, the Easter egg is a deep-cut reference to his pre-MCU days on YouTube, back when he and frequent collaborator Christopher Ford ran a channel called WaverlyFlams.While speaking to Screen Rant, Watts explained: “It’s a hard one, but people found a lot of our intentionally placed Easter eggs. There was also a thing where people find Easter eggs that we didn’t put there. We’re like, ‘Yeah, great.’”As for the unsolved Easter egg? It’s a nod to one of the duo’s old sketches, vignettes, or maybe even a LittleBigPlanet custom level from their channel that dates back to 2007. Watts shared: “There’s some very, very deep-cut references to dumb videos that Ford and I made on YouTube a long time ago.”Watts and Ford have come a long way from their YouTube beginnings, collaborating on major projects like Spider-Man: Homecoming and the new Star Wars series Skeleton Crew. Though Watts directed all three of Spider-Man’s MCU outings, he won’t be returning for the fourth installment. That project is now in the hands of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.So, if you’re a fan of Watts and the Spider-Man film, you might want to revisit No Way Home with fresh eyes to try and find that elusive Easter egg that is still waiting to be found.
