Spider-Man & The Punisher team-up sparks big Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 theory, here’s why

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is already shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most talked-about upcoming shows. Not just because of its returning heroes, but because it might secretly set up one of the biggest street-level crossovers the MCU has ever done.

With Jon Bernthal confirmed to return as Frank Castle (The Punisher) and news that he’ll also appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans are beginning to wonder if the two projects are more closely linked than Marvel is letting on. Could Tom Holland’s Spider-Man make an appearance in Born Again before his next solo film hits theaters?

Clues like a subtle Spider-Man music cue in Season 1’s finale, combined with Punisher’s confirmed return and growing fan discussion online, are building a convincing theory. It suggests that Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Punisher might all share the screen sooner than expected.

If true, this would be a major step in connecting Disney+ shows to the larger cinematic MCU. Keep on reading to dive deep into this theory.

Clues in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 hint at a possible Spider-Man connection

A quiet moment in the final episode of Born Again Season 1 has caused a lot of noise in fan circles. In one scene, as Daredevil and The Punisher battle Kingpin’s anti-vigilante task force, Daredevil turns to Karen Page and says he needs an army.

Right as he says this, a very familiar music cue plays, a subtle variation of the theme used in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man films. Fans with sharp ears immediately recognized it, and it wasn’t just a coincidence.

The composers behind the show, the Newton Brothers, briefly confirmed on social media that it was indeed Spider-Man’s theme before deleting the post. Additionally, Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane said he wasn’t told anything officially by Marvel, but he acknowledged that the inclusion of the theme surprised even him.

That kind of vague response, not confirming but also not denying, only makes the theory more believable. Marvel is known for planting seeds far in advance, and this musical moment may have been a soft hint at what’s coming in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

With Bernthal’s Punisher confirmed for both Born Again and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans now believe the crossover could start on the small screen and continue in theaters. Online communities, especially on Reddit, are filled with fans pointing out that this kind of team-up- Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Punisher, makes perfect sense given the shared setting of New York and their history in the comics.

What a Spider-Man appearance in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 would mean for the MCU

If Spider-Man really does appear in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, it would be a major turning point for how Marvel ties its TV and film worlds together. For starters, Daredevil and Spider-Man have already met in No Way Home, so their connection wouldn’t feel out of the blue.

Bringing Spider-Man into the battle against Wilson Fisk would only strengthen that thread and raise the stakes, especially since Kingpin is being built up as one of the MCU’s major villains moving forward. Including Spider-Man would also help Spider-Man: Brand New Day hit the ground running.

If audiences have already seen Peter Parker team up with Daredevil and The Punisher on Disney+, the movie doesn’t need to waste time reintroducing those relationships. It also gives Marvel a chance to create stronger momentum between its streaming content and its theatrical blockbusters, something fans have been hoping for since the days of the Netflix Marvel shows.
