New Spider-Man movie No Way Home<\/a> is finally in UK cinemas, and you know what that means \u2013 frantically scanning the background of scenes and checking Reddit to look out for any subtle callbacks or obscure Easter eggs.<\/p>\n

No? Just us? Well, either way, we\u2019ve hopefully done some of the legwork for you this time, by assembling some of our favourite hidden references, cameos and (of course) Spider-Man Easter eggs in No Way Home.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not counting major plot points for the most part \u2013 so the return of certain characters doesn\u2019t necessarily constitute an Easter Egg \u2013 but hopefully, you\u2019ll find a few of the more subtle nods to Marvel movies, comics and games hidden in the movie.<\/p>\n

Warning: from here on out we\u2019ll be dealing in **major spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home**<\/strong>, so look away now if you haven\u2019t seen the movie yet. We\u2019re warning you\u2026<\/p>\n

**Final spoiler warning for Spider-Man: No Way Home**<\/strong><\/p>

Spider-Man: No Way Home Easter eggs and cameos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Homecoming callbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you might expect, the film has plenty of references to earlier films in the Tom Holland series, especially 2017 movie Spider-Man: Homecoming.<\/p>\n

Early in the film, Peter wears the same \u2018I survived NYC\u2019 T-shirt lent to him by Tony Stark in Homecoming, while the Death Star he built with Ned in the first movie appears regularly throughout the film (including its downbeat ending).<\/p>\n

Peter and Ned\u2019s extended handshake also appears \u2013 twice \u2013 in the movie, after cropping up in both previous Tom Holland movies.<\/p>\n

Iron Man nods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spider-Man isn\u2019t the only film franchise to get a few nods though \u2013 Tony Stark\u2019s hapless robot arm assistant Dummy appears in Happy\u2019s (Jon Favreau) apartment, alongside an arc-reactor powered piece of technology and (hidden in the background) a Downton Abbey DVD, reflecting Happy\u2019s obsession with the show in Iron Man 3.<\/p>\n

Another Iron Man 3 callback comes from a news photo of Happy shown on TV, where he\u2019s sporting the unfortunate haircut he had in the 2013 film\u2019s year 2000 flashback.<\/p>\n

Daredevil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes the rumours are true \u2013 Charlie Cox reprises his role as blind superhero Daredevil, last seen in his eponymous Netflix TV series. Given his handy reflexes in the scene (he catches a brick before even Peter is able to), he\u2019s clearly still the same Man Without Fear \u2013 and with his old foe Wilson Fisk\/Kingpin (Vincent D\u2019Onofrio) making his own return in the Hawkeye TV series<\/a>, it could be that we\u2019ll see them face off again in a future project.<\/p>\n

Raimi memes<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the years since Sam Raimi\u2019s Spider-Man trilogy swung onto screens, a dedicated community of fans has been sharing iconic quotes from the films back and forth \u2013 and even if this film wasn\u2019t trying to cater to them directly, there\u2019s still plenty of familiar lines.<\/p>\n

Alfred Molina\u2019s Doc Ock drops his classic \u201cThe power of the sun\u2026in the palm of my hand\u201d quote TWICE (overdoing it a bit, Doc) while Willem Dafoe\u2019s Norman Osborn is happy to confirm that he\u2019s \u201csomething of a scientist [him]self,\u201d among other familiar villain quotes.<\/p>\n
