In the latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, viewers have spotted a potential Marvel Easter egg that could be a reference to the animated series What If...?. During a fight scene in Fogwell's Gym, some fans believe the silhouette of the all-seeing Watcher character from What If...? can be seen in the background.

Why it matters

The inclusion of this subtle visual reference, if intentional, would continue Marvel's tradition of hiding Easter eggs and nods to the larger cinematic universe within their live-action shows. Fans are speculating that the Watcher's appearance could foreshadow significant multiverse-altering events to come later in the season.

The details

Around 47 minutes into episode 4, after Daredevil intervenes in a fight between Fisk and Bullseye, two of the fluorescent lights in the background of the Fogwell's Gym scene appear to form the silhouette of the Watcher, the all-seeing narrator from the animated series What If...?. While Marvel has often included Watcher cameos in subtle ways across their productions, some fans believe this particular instance may be more than just a casual reference.
