The first season of Daredevil: Born Again has come to a thrilling close, offering fans a satisfying return to the world of Matt Murdock and a storyline that continues to build momentum. The nine-episode run not only captured the essence of the original series but also set the stage for an even more exciting second season. However, one small but significant detail in the finale has stirred up a great deal of conversation among fans: Did Tom Holland’s Spider-Man theme make an appearance?
As the Daredevil: Born Again finale played out, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a familiar musical cue in the background during a pivotal moment. Specifically, when Daredevil delivers the line, “We need an army,” the background music (BGM) strongly resembled the Spider-Man theme that accompanies Tom Holland’s version of the character in the MCU. Naturally, fans took to social media to debate whether this was a deliberate Easter egg and what it could mean for the MCU’s future.
Was the Spider-Man Theme Really in Daredevil: Born Again?
After reading multiple fan theories and speculations on social media, I went back to rewatch the final episode of Daredevil: Born Again and immediately listened for the supposed Spider-Man theme. It turns out that the claims were indeed true. The background music in that specific scene does indeed bear a striking resemblance to the Spider-Man theme, leading many to wonder whether it was intentionally included or if it was simply a coincidence.
This detail was later addressed by the showrunner of Daredevil: Born Again, Dario Scardapane, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. When asked about the inclusion of the Spider-Man theme, Scardapane admitted that he had no prior knowledge of this Easter egg, stating, “I don’t really know. That’s the best way of putting that. Marvel doesn’t always share their plans with me. So that theme being part of our story took me a little bit by surprise when I saw the posts on it. And…how can I answer this question? Honestly, I don’t know what’s in store with that particular character.”
So, while the showrunner seemed surprised by the theme’s inclusion, the fact that it was there has left fans speculating about what it means for the MCU, particularly regarding the potential future collaboration between Daredevil and Spider-Man.
What Does This Mean for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2?
The inclusion of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man theme in the Daredevil: Born Again finale raises an exciting possibility for the second season of the series. Fans have long been hoping for a crossover between Daredevil and Spider-Man, and the use of the Spider-Man theme could be a subtle hint that their dream may finally come true.
In the comics, the Shadowland storyline, which is rumored to be adapted in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, features Spider-Man as a key ally to Daredevil. Given that the leaks for the second season suggest the Shadowland arc will be explored, it’s possible that we may see Spider-Man join forces with Daredevil to battle the forces of Kingpin in the streets of New York. This would be an exciting development for fans who have eagerly awaited a live-action team-up between the two heroes.
However, there’s one significant challenge: the rights to Spider-Man are currently held by Sony, which creates certain limitations for Marvel Studios when it comes to using the character in their films and shows. This complicates the potential crossover, as the logistics of including Spider-Man in a Daredevil series would require cooperation between Sony and Marvel. Nevertheless, the Spider-Man theme in the finale could be a sign that Marvel is pushing for a closer collaboration between the two properties, offering fans a glimmer of hope that Spider-Man might indeed be involved in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.
Conclusion: A Hint at a Future Collaboration?
While the inclusion of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man theme in the Daredevil: Born Again finale may seem like a small detail, it has sparked excitement and speculation about the future of both characters within the MCU. If this is indeed a subtle hint at a collaboration between Daredevil and Spider-Man, it could mean that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will bring the web-slinger into the fold, much to the delight of fans.
With the Shadowland storyline on the horizon and a potential team-up in the works, the MCU may soon deliver the long-awaited crossover that fans have been clamoring for. Whether or not Spider-Man appears in Daredevil remains to be seen, but the inclusion of the theme certainly opens the door to some exciting possibilities.
